My buddys 01 saleen has what looks like 10 inch rotors all around..he trying to go to 13inch.. what car does he order them from. .direct bolt on that will work with his stock calipers? Cross drilled would be nice..thanks cafords

what looks like? better double check, and you cant just fit 13" rotors on factory gt brakes, he might want to just upgrade to cobra, mach 1's or bullitt brake calipers and rotors

Looks like as in.stock I'm guessing....do mach 1's come with 13in rotors?

Blue Hawk pads & ss lines front and back would be a big improvement , otherwise get the adapter kit for the rear and i believe he can use his stock calipers on that. for the fronts its cobra for 13inch rotors and calipers. The 4v's with the 13rotors have the same calipers with slight differences like bracket location .its been awhile since looking in to it.

Did the 03 cobras with hawk blue pads and mm ss lines on the front and just bought replacement rotors and remanufactored calpers and ss lines for the rear. Works great

mach 1 and bullitt have 13" rotors and dont say cobra on them they have a horse on them. you can go to autozone and just buy replacement calipers

i just upgraded my stock rubber hose for ss lines made a night and day difference (stock gt brakes) also went with dot 4 brake fluid

Would those calipers bolt rite on to his spindle? Also to his stock caliper bracket?

The Mach1 calipers are plain aluminum finish while the Bullitt is powder coated red with a silver horse inlay.
The Caliper brackets will need to be from a Cobra, Mach1, or Bullitt which are all 13" setups.
Any of the above calipers with the mentioned brackets will bolt right to the 94-04 spindles.
The banjo bolts for the brake hoses are course or fine thread, make sure you get the correct ones.
A set of steel braided hoses is recommended, a lot of these come with both types of banjo bolts.

My 13'' ford cobra calipers just bolt on to the 95 spindle no bracket needed. They are not painted, but I did the 13' cobra upgrade to m fox 5 yrs ago.. the rear has a special bracket to make the bigger disc work
