    That is only the caliper and requires a core or pay an additional $50..

      I'm trying to do this on the cheap. Calipers, pads, and rotors I can get all for a total of about $160. I'm not paying another $250 just so I can get 2 brackets.

        That P/N is with a bracket. But yes there is a core charge of $50.

            ?? really it says it doesnt come with the bracket. Even so, without a core that is $180. For a few more dollars, you can get new oem stuff and not reman stuff..

              Get stainless steel brake lines while you're doing it. I noticed a MUCH better brake pedal feel after the swap. I still need to convert the rear to stainless...... not enough time in the day...

                If I remember right, the "Cobra" brake setup is the same from 94-04. Also found on the Mach 1. So all of the brackets should work.

                  what wheel setup you running?

                  I am looking to sell my 2000R setup with 2 piece rotors soon...also have enough pads to get you 300k miles.... Might let the whole setup go for $700...you just have to have certain wheels to clear them...or spacers and longer studs. Calipers are used and the white brembo logo is brown but hey, they are Awesome!

                  Seriously, I'm looking at some 14" setups or at least a new set of stoptechs and need these gone. I also have a set of Wilwood SL-6 calipers and rotors that would fit your car by just buying new hats and correct caliper brackets....probably let those go for $500 as you will need another $500 in parts to make them work.

                  either way, better brakes than the PBR cobra brakes.

                    How soon are you needing these gone? I would love to have that setup in my coupe, but I have to finish my motorcycle and Xmas first.

                      likely end of the year. Santa should be delivering new stuff by then....although I found a nice deal on ebay today!

                          Thanks man, but I want t keep the factory 17s since it was a special edition package.

                            I may take those SL-6 calipers off you.

Only thing I've got a question on is if I'll need to change the brackets, or if the GTs will work. Should be pretty straight forward, unless you guys can tell me about any surprises I haven't anticipated. Looks like the master cylinder is the same.
