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]

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.

I don't know what size your rims are but its possible or that to be a problem too is'nt it? [Confused]

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]

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.
