yes rear calipers are the same.

the differences are the caliper mounting bracket is wider on the Cobra, as well as the axle flange brakets are higher for the 11.6 inch rotors.

i just called xmp and they said that they arent the same, im not saying anyone is wrong or anything, im just confused now. i want to be 100 % sure before i buy a gt caliper to replace my cobra caliper, also how about the pads are they the same? Thanks again everyone!!!

the calipers are THE EXACT SAME. the pads and bracketry are what allows it to work on a cobra

ok so if i currently have the cobra brakes on now i can just replace the caliper with a gt caliper right? how about the pads are they cobra specific or can i use gt pads? Thank you very much, and sorry for the stupid question, i just want to be sure!!!

The Cobra rotor is thicker than the GT. Since they use the same caliper, the Cobra pads are thinner to fit on the thicker rotor.

I've heard of shops saying the GT and Cobra pads are the same, but not that the calipers are NOT the same?!?
