I have installed the Cobra front brake kit already if I do the rear would have to change the calipers. (Since they are not in the kit)?

no its the same caliper! I did the kit and it basically relocates the stock caliper to fit the bigger rotor! which is exactly what the cobra setup is...

The reason I'm asking is I was looking at part #'s on NAPA's website and they have two different #'s for them. At least replacement calipers.

You get a vented rotor with the cobra setup, along with brackets. you can get Cobra brakes, but the GT is basically the same caliper.

OK I have it figured out! The caliper is the same but the caliper bracket needs to be widened were the rotor passes though the bracket.

The pads are different because the are thinner to compensate for the thicker Cobra spec rotors.

Javi do you think that I'm rich? I already have the Cobra set up anyway just trying to get it all figured out before hand. I don't like surprises. With me working nearly 7 days a week and a family my car sets on jack stands enough as it is lol!!!!!!
