Just so you can get a visual feel of some of the options out there

Left to right:
14" S197 GT500 front (a la FTR brake kit)
13" SN95 Cobra front (1994-2001 SVT Cobra)
11.65" SN95 Cobra rear

Not pictured: 10.87" SN95 V6/GT front. But you get the point.. they're small

Here's a comparison between a Cobra front (13") and a SN95 GT front (hope you don't mind me posting this in your thread...)

And then a Cobra rear and SN95 GT front:

Sure thing - you had such nice pics, I felt kind of like I was polluting your thread with my crappy pics ;)

Edit: and dang, the 14" vs stock GT is certainly an eye-opener...

Yes the 14" rotor is huge....bigger even than my 06 f150 rotors.Im glad I pulled the trigger on the FTR sn kit.Maybe a bit overkill but all good!

I would seriously consider this kit if I had 18" wheels.

Wow that's eye opening. That 14" GT500 rotor is massive compared to the Cobra rotor. And the GT rotor looks fitted for a honda compared to the rest haha.

I think it would be be a pretty tight fit on 17's - there might be a couple wheels that will work due to the way they are designed. There's not a lot of clearance though for the Cobra brakes.

Here's the front, with 17" thrusts or whatever they are:

An here's a couple with the Cobra's and 17" Enkei RPF1:

And then here's the rear just for comparison (rear Cobras) - plenty of room of course:

Those 14" discs are pretty huge, and will push the caliper out some. I suspect they will rub on my current setup. [MENTION=17526]Poxenham[/MENTION], if you want, I can measure how much clearance there is currently between my Cobra fronts and Enkei's. I can also measure the distance from hub center out to the top of the brake caliper. Those two measurements will indicate whether a larger brake can actually fit.

Rock Auto usually also has them pretty cheap, that's where I got my rebuilt Evo calipers for my LeMons car.
