Do yourself a favor and upgrade to at least DOT 4 fluid (Super Blue if you have ANY ideas about the track) and SS lines on all four corners. Your fluid is probably due for a change anyway and this is a nice upgrade to do when you have to bleed the brakes anyway.

A call to StopTech, Brembo, Bear, Wilwood, or any of the big brake companies will get you exactly what you want at a good price. Everybody and their brother puts the Cobra brakes on, so why follow the herd? Get a package that's made to suit you AND the car.

Im not following any herd I just need a simple brake upgrade without spending thousands of dollars with those big brake company's.....

Well then do the Cobra brake upgrade...use the link I provided to search through the kits. Or use the kit's part lists in that link to piece parts together...

It is fair to say, there are probably 68 different set-ups you could install on your ride. He is not suggesting you ARE following any herd, just that there are many options out there and may find one that suits your needs better than another brand. So do lots of research and find the one that will keep you in the fastlane

A cheap but effective front brake upgrade is to put the stock 01-04 gt calipers on the front. They have 2 piston calipers and bigger pads. You can pick up the brackets for cheap at a salvage yard. A good can of caliper paint is only seven bucks.
