Default Mach 1 13" brake upgrade?

I'm considering, upgrading my brakes to the Mach 1's 13" front & 11.65" rears. The question I have is. Will they clear my 17"X9" bullitts (bought here). I'm only asking this 'cause, I've read a few posts in other forums, saying they had rubbing w/the front caliper & aftermarket 17" rims. Would really bum me out to order the brake kit ($800 or so), only to have it not fit. I'm hoping someone here has done this upgrade & can shed some light?

Mach 1/cobra brake kit will work on the front. However i dont know/not sure about the rear.

Thanx MattJ, The front was what bothered me the most, I've read the backspacing is not enough w/some aftermarket wheels. Do you have 17" X 9" & Mach 1/Cobra brakes?

I would just find any Cobra Owner from 96-98 who has 9" in the front. If they fit his car, chances are they will fit yours.

it will fit just fine with those rims. I dont know of a bulit that those dont work on.
ps upgrading the rear is pointless unless you REALLY REALLY road race it and need the extra cooling.
