Default Cobra brakes on a SN95 GT...?

Hi. I need brake advice from those who know!! I want to replace the brakes on my SN95GT with cobra 13", 2 pot ones. Can i just replace the rotors, calipers, brackets etc or do i need to also replace the master cylinder and proportioning valve as well???

Thanks...

Normally its just a plug and play operation. The brake conversion kit comes with everything you need.

Wow, beautiful kits but too much money. I don't need the master cylinder and the stock cobra calipers and Brmbo drilled rotors are just as good and half the price....

Default Cobra Brakes

Thanksgiving day completed installation.
Can't remember the outfit, but got Brembo rotors, Cobra (red) calibers, and replacement rubber lines.
DO NOT USE RUBBER LINES - go braided stainless.
Used stock master cylinder and proportioning valve.
I used Kenny Brown lines. Super cool looking, tiny little buggers - but you have to frig up your body attachments to install them.
NOTE: the left and right hand side are different diameters (hard brake line fittings). The stock rubber lines are clocked and machines so that each side is unique. The Kenny Browns are not. Furthermore, the fittings were SUPPOSED to be color coordinated - but weren't. However, Brad, of Brads Custom Auto (Lakecity) clued me in and I was able to visually id which was which.
Fired it up. Backed out of driveway. To HARD 50 mph stops (about 1/4 apart to let the rotors cool) - In Freaking 'Credible difference. Don't know how they compare to Baer's - but for $399.00 - you'll be happy!

you can simpley replace the rotors,calipers,pads,brakets and lines with ones from a cobra just like the cobra brake kits they sell on this site i think.

Here is the web I got my brakes from:

As stated, the kit comes complete - but I would check out s/s braided lines
