Default Upgrade Brakes

Hey guys i was thinkin of upgradin my brakes to the cobras 13' rotors, I see mustang tunin sells them is that the whole compelete package u need? Also i heard the ones with the red cobra calipers are bigger than the black ones? just the caliper? 10th an i believe are the red. Or are the bullits brakes better? whats rottors are better the sloted ones or drilled etc? is there any other better upgrade brakes out there other than cobras? i'll be willin to spend around 700-900....also would i need to upgrade the back? cause i seen another package for all 4 brakes (cobras) for around 800

I had ordered the Baer Track kit for my GT. Turns out, they are the exact same calipers as the Bullitt and Mach1 and Cobra. There is no difference in the black or red calipers... Only color and logo. If 700-900 is your budget, I'd get the entire upgrade kit. You might want to check buyfordracing.com. They are having a sale on brake upgrade kits. I sent my Baers back and am getting the red Bullitt kit from them.

Since 80% of your stopping power is in the front anyway, rear upgrades are for the most part, a visual upgrade. I am ordering rears anyway, since mine are all nasty looking, and they'll match the front.
