Thumbs up FRPP Cobra 13" Front Brakes
I highly recommend these brakes to anybody who is looking for a vast improvement over the stock front brakes, fairly inexpensively. You can definitely feel the difference in stopping power, and they look great too. They fill up the wheel nicely.

Awesome, nice pictures man! I've been debating doing this kit versus just adding slotted rotors and using my existing calipers. I think you just made me want the 13" rotors!

great improvement to 94-04 V6 and GT Mustang. I bought these for my 95 V6 and when I sold the car I took the brakes off and put them on my 97GT.

The ones with the Pony like this were actually used on the Bullitts, the Cobras have the COBRA text on them. Same exact cailper though.

Are the bullitt one's being sold? Ok, I will go to the site and see if Bullitt ones are also being sold.

My friends pointed out that my break calipers were painted silver...not sure if I want to get rid of those.

Awesome upgrade for those who dont have them.. My brother has a 07 Mustang GT/CS and the first thing he said he liked about my car when he drove it was the awesome brakes.. Just remember wheel clearence to clear the caliper

So in this kit the caliper and rotor get changed out and are the pads the same size as stock? Also how do I know if these will clear my rims that are 18x9 cobra r rims?

They come with pads, and they will deifnitely fit your 18" wheels. They fit my 17's.
