What brake upgrade kit is better for my car and where is a good place to buy? Also, I need to be sure I can use my ABS with the kit I end up buying.
Thanks for putting up with all my questions lately, I'm just making good money now and I wanna spoil myself with some new toys for my car ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Cobra and Bullit are brakes are the same, just a different logo on the caliper. Just get the 13" 2300 brake kit from FMS or you can get the same basic kit from Baer even has the same 2300 number.

You would need 17" rims to clear the calipers on a 13" brake kit.

I think Baers are the cheapest and most effective way to g for 13" brakes. Brembos are hella expensive ![[Frown]](frown.gif)

I have 18" rims, so clearence isn't a problem. I was looking at the cobra kit because I can get a complete front kit in the $300 range by mail order..
Of course I don't have anyone to install it for me, so I guess I'll be trying to find a shop or something

The Brembo's are 4 piston vs 2 for the Cobra/Buiilt set up. Figure the price to be 2X for any 4 piston set up.
