to use the cobra calipers will require some material removal on the spindle. all 94-95 gt,cobra, and v6 spindles are the same. Some places charge more for gt and cobra parts. use stock 94-95 hubs. they won't increase the track width. the 99-04 spindles and hubs will increase the track width by 8mm per side.

for what its worth the cobra caliper is a PBR caliper. and your gonna need the pbr cobra calipers to clear that rotor. the rear calipers are the same with the gt's and cobras. the difference is the thickenss and diameter of the rotor. along with the mounting bracket for the caliper.

so i need the cobra calipers for the front but i can use the GT ones for the rear with the 11.65''s? also is there a bracket for rear disc brakes i NEED for these? also am i going to need to upgrade the master cylinder and brake booster?

i found a set of 99 cobra front calipers, pads, brackets, spindles, hub's and brake lines...for the front..do i need anything else? (already have new rotors)
