Default are cobra rear brakes diff size than v6?

I plan on getting front cobras. I know I have to get all the hardware and lines etc. But, what about the rears? are they any better than stock and are the rotors different size than stock? thanks in advance.

The rotors are going to be bigger then the stock ones you have now. Before you do this, make sure you have atleast a 17" rim, otherwise they won't fit.

Its basically the same caliper, however the rotor is larger. There is a bracket that the cobra has to make the caliper work with that rotor.

The bracket is merely the backing plate on the rear axle. It's very simple to swap, only 4 bolts, and you have to pull the axle shafts to slide it off. I have 13" rears and they work with my stock backing plate but use an adapter to move the calipers out. All the rear calipers are the same on everything, they're nothing special.
