They say you need at least 17" wheels so I dont see why not. I know 17" Cobras clear them fine so I assume yours will too?
I really hope you´re right. I´d like to keep my car as stock as possible (except for engine and suspension mods 
)

The '93 Cobra R used 13" brakes and had the same 17" tri-bar wheels (brakes are not the exact same as 94-04 but close)

I have the 04 Anniversary Cobra full brake kit front and rear with my stock tri-bars and the fit is perfect.
I kept the stock master cylinder, but upgraded to stainless steel lines. The pedal feel is firmer than stock, but absolutely perfect. The car literally stops on a dime now.
I've needed the brakes a couple times on the street in an emergency situation and let me tell you, my concern now is not what is in front of me, it's the person behind me who can't stop as quickly. With a good suspension, you can brake hard and steer the car where you need without loosing control or just sliding. I would now reccomend this be the first upgrade anyone does to a GT.

Even though it is more fun to spend money on parts that make a car go faster, the suspension and brakes should be the first things upgraded when planning for a high performance drivetrain. That way, you never have more power than your car can deal with safely.

I agree with you completely. My next mod will be the bullit suspension. I´m just waiting my car to be running again after AFR 165 innstall. Thanks .
