I am putting his 98 Cobra brakes on my GT and hes putting my GT brakes on his Cobra. I made a post about this and it got deleted. I beleive Luke told me that a certain type of Mustang brake will fit with my dad's skinnies in the front with a small spacer so that his lug bolts are NHRA legal. Can anyone tell me what stock Mustang brakes besides my GT brakes that will fit these skinny rims with a spacer smaller than 1 inch?<br /> <img src="http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/700/2549/71942.jpg" alt=" - " /><br /><br />The problem is the diameter of the brakes. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Luke87GT</b> <br /><small>Member # 21</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2007,4,3,23,54,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> throw a pair of 99-04GT/V6 brakes on there and use a 5/16" spacer.
