For anyone who has done a 5 lug swap for a 93 cobra I have some questions. <br /><br />I was told that to use my existing rear disc brakes/calipers I would have to use northrace brackets and rotors from a Mach1 or SN95 cobra. However, I was also told by someone else that the rotors from a mach1 or sn95 cobra will not work because they are 11.65" versus the 10" 93 cobra rotors. <br /><br />Can someone who is 100% sure please chime in!
