Well worth the time and money to do the fronts! I noticed a night and day difference over my 98 GT setup with Powerstop pads and rotors.
Don't know if it's worth the effort and hassle to upgrade the rears. Just my humble opinion. You are just getting a cooler running rotor and more pad bite surface back there.

Well, DFG, I have the complete Cobra rear axle hub to hub to put in my car. I was gonna drop the stock axle anyway to put on aftermarket control arms so doing my rears is a no brainer. I'll gain a better gear for my non power adder motor in the process. On my wife's car, yeah I'll have to pull the differential cover, pull the C clips, take out the axle shafts, swap over the brackets, and put it all back together, but now that I have the parts might be a nice winter project once I get front calipers. Rotor are easy and not expensive.

Thanks for all the input, gang. Yeah, with the FR500s I just ordered the stock rear disk would look puny, and adding the Cobra rear will help balance braking front to rear like other members pointed out.

I never new the cobra rears where bigger!?! I thought they were just thicker for some reason definitely have to do this next go around.
