Default V6 Brakes front and back

Okay, here is a Pic of my moms mustang after we added the new 18x8 245/40's wheels, tint and CAI. Keep in mind, she'll be 78 this december. We are now looking at brakes but I don't want to spend hours digging when I'm not so sure where to start. We want to get rotors and brakes that will fit in the Falken wheels. Can someone give me a starting point with some decently priced sets. Maybe around 600 to 800.00 dollars for front and back if that's possible. I looked on this site but did not see much of a selection, or maybe there just isn't period, I'm not sure. She's pretty excited about the whole thing and I want to get some brakes that have painted calipers so it will look nice behing the rims. thanks.

We have the cobra brake kit here which upgrades to a dual piston caliper and 13" rotors up front. You can also add a set of stainless steel lines which help out petal mush. Upgrading the backs isnt going to do much so id just get some nice pads and make sure the rotors in back are in good condition. IMO its not worth it to upgrade to the cobra/bullitt rear calipers.

The bullit and cobra brake setup for th efront is the best budget setup you can get. And the back for the bullits and cobras just uses a bigger rotor no actuly extra stopping power. leave the backs alone or just add new hawk hp pads. i would use those pads all the way around they are great.
