I'm about to buy some cobra front brakes. My stock pads and rotors are pretty worn out so I want to just replace them with the Cobra set-up. I have a couple of questions.

besides the caliper brackets, calipers, rotors and lines, is there ANYTHING else I would need?

My buddy has a 91 GT. If he got the right spindles, could he put my stock brakes on his car?

Unless your doing the Rear also, you dont need caliper Brackets.

For the front you need....
-Calipers
-Lines
-Rotors

To do the Rear all you need it.
-Rotors
-Brackets

V6/Cobra/GT all use the same Rear caliper

....and i think 94/95 cars require a master cylinder swap but i am not sure.

The master cylinder is not necessary the only side effect is a really firm pedal and to me that is a plus.

so, all i need to order are the small lines (stanless ones from MM work?)
and rotors and i'm set?

sounds too easy

These are THE ones i'm going to pick up on friday

Yup its that easy. Looks like you will need some pads too. But those look new, so 150-250 is reasonable if not more. Yup just need lines(MM), pads?, and some brembo blanks will set you up.

will stock style pads work with the cobra calipers?

i already have a box of new pads so that would be sweet

you will need pads that are specific to a cobra or that caliper. The two holes on both sides are where the pads "clip" into place.

I don't use anything other than Brembo blanks.
No slotting, no drilling, no nothing.
