U should be just fine witht the stock rims. If u go with the 14" rotors thats a different story.
Check out Steeda they have some selections.

Thanks for the info,
Do you know though what size the Cobra R rotors are in the front? 13" or 14"?
I'm upgrading to the 18" Wheels so clearance wont be an issue anymore...
Thanks again

Very informative.:thumbsup:
Yes that topic was informative...just that it was confusing with all sorts of comparisons and people had different opinions on the Brembo and Wilwoods.
Anyways I just checked and the R had 13" Vented Rotors...though the Kit on the Ford Racing catalogue shows Slotted and the Steeda shows slotted...Does anybody know for sure if the kit comes with slotted rotors?

Ok this is getting confusing....since the other thread is full..let me get an opinion on here for the Willwoods and the Brembo Kit I am looking at...
Any R owners that could chime in and tell me how they like their front Kits? Also I want to move the stock ones to the back...but both being 13"...would that be ok?

SVT,
What are you using the car for, track or street?
If it is for street, I will tell you to get a good set of pads and change over to stainless steel lines. If you want more braking than that, get better tires.
For the track, I have had good luck with the brembo's. If you are going to spend $1000-1100 on brakes I would recommend buying two piece floating rotors and good pads before the caliper upgrade. I am talking function over bling factor here. (there have been actual failures of the single piece rotors, thus my suggestion to upgrade them instead of the calipers).

Well I planned on taking it to the track but not enough to get a $5000 Dollar kit.....
What I have decided to do is just get the Cobra R kit for the front...move the front to the rear...and call it a day.
This way I dont see how i could go wrong...correct?
