Default Looking for some brakes

Sup guys,


Just had my brakes pads replaced and i notice that will need new rotors soon. I am really wanting to do a full brake upgrade on the rear. Maybe some nice 13inch cross drilled and slotted rotors with nice red calipers. 2 or 4 piston brakes. The problem is that there are so many and i can't decide. My stock brakes in the back are 11.65 inchs so in order to get 13s like the ones in the front i have to change calipers. Should i keep the stock 11.65 or should i upgrage to 13inch in the back? Does anyone know or any companies? I checked brembo and wilwood but there websites are hard to find what i need for my car. Thanks for the help.

I would rather have the nice red calipers to match the red cobra caliper in the front

Powerslot, brembo, baer, wilwood, the list goes on. Just shop around, and you will find wha you want. Or you could just get O.E. replacements. How badly do you abuse your brakes? IMO your fronts should be upgraded, but the backs are fine unless you autox. I'd just go with replacement pieces from ford. Do whatever you can afford.

Hey,

Well i already have nice 13inch brakes in the front (i have a cobra) But i like to see the same on the back. It is not critical i see 13 in the back i can still stick with my 11.65 in the back. I am just having problems finding the size and there is so much information about them that i don't know how to pick. No i usually don't use the brakes alot i let the tranny slow me down most of the time.
