i think our brakes are prety damn good stock.

As for the weight issue a 99-04 GT coupe weights ruffly 3317lbs. (no mach 1000 stock non bullit wheels.) a cobra weights in at 3664lbs.

Which i forgot to mention. So the Cobra brakes, depending on avaliable traction will stop you even faster.Because of the factr our cars weight less, give or take your options.

On anthoer note. The size od tire and traction you have play a big role, by simply going to somewhat larger tire say 255 or stock 245 can also help brakeing by giving a larger contact pacth for the tire to grabe the road. This is also another key point. You can only brake as hard as traction permits.

I am not here to talk about modding my car by the way i was looking for solid good info on aftermarket or upgraded brakes for others to see.
