I need new rotors and pads..so Im gonna upgrade to the cobra 13" rotors and calipers. Gefracing has the calipers (loaded w/pads) for $215.

Steeda sells the cobra brake upgrade also..it is the same calipers, but says "STEEDA" on them. But they are $399. Does anyone know why?? It looks like its just for the calipers...and the rotors are extra.

you still need rotors.. give www.mustangparts.com a call. They have the the cobra kit with brembo 13" rotors for 399 and it comes with new front brake lines.. thats where i got mine.

nah don't get steeda and don't get what gefracing has. go with the front brake upgrade kit for $399 at mustangparts like that guy said or www.discbrakesrus.com
 
go to speedconcepts.net you can get COBRA/BULLITT CROSS-DRILLED & SLOTTED ROTOR BRAKE KIT W/ SS HOSE KIT, for $399.99. Trust me man speed handles all my performance stuff check them out. You can even negotiate a price.

Whats the difference where he goes if it is all the same kit at the same price?

what do you mean what's the difference. The prices ARE NOT the same. I told him not to go to steeda because their upgrade kit does not come with rotors and GEF racing doesn't have the kit they sell the parts all separately.
 
WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!! I got my RED COBRA calipers for like 250 shipped... BUY THE RED ONES!!! LOOK SWEET!!! Came with hoses banjo bolts and the washers!!! I bought 13 inch drilled and slotted rotors for the front and stock drilled and slotted rotors for the rear for 200 shipped!!! So 450 for an awesome look! Keep in mind! If this car is daily driver dont go cross drilled they are known to crack! Slotted looks great! But if your going for the look red calipers is what you want!

My apologies, I thought the Steeda kit came complete, you are correct.
 
First off. Do I need to use different brake hoses and banjo bolts? or will the stock ones work. Also do I need some sort of mounting bracket that the Gefracing calipers do not come with???

Second, Is it true about the cross drilled rotors cracking as a result of daily driving? On Gefracing it says that the slotted and cross drilled rotors are "not recomended for track use" so that would imply that they are for street use ...right?

I think im gonna get the red cobra calipers from Gefracing.com ...they come loaded with pads for $215. And also there are some 13" Brembo rotors on ebay for $159.
 
Speedconcept.net has some great prices. But some of the prices make no sense. Like why the bulit brake kit is more than the cobra, and why regular rotors oare more than crossdrilled, Am I missing something here is there a catch. And if I was going to order Any one of the kits with slotted rotos and red calipers would I get everything need to do the install, and would the upgrade work with stock 2000 GT wheels? :shrug:
