Dragging my car out of the barn and upgrading some bits. A few questions after going through my parts pile Regarding the FTR S197 ->SN95 brake kit

-Do the calipers have to be from a 05-09? I picked some up a few years back, and after running the numbers they are from a 2011. Can I still use this, or sell and find earlier ones?

-Will the banjo bolts from my cobra calipers fit these? I have seen mixed reviews here

Lastly, how much room should I plan on for wheel clearance? Looking at my current 13" setup, its somewhat tight against my 18's spokes. Should I plan on having a 1/4" spacer up front?

The base gt brakes from 11+ have the same calipers as the 05-10 gt.

I thought that using cobra lines was a must anyway so Im not going to speculate. Im sure someone more knowledgeable than me knows.

They look like they clear so running a spacer is up to you.
