Why do you have the stock wheels on if you have a set of steedas sitting. If anything skip the conversion and use that money for tires for the 17s.

If you have 16" mustang wheels the Cobra Brakes won't fit.

They will definitely fit the 17" steedas.

Here's a link for the 4 wheel conversion:

I said "WHOA!"

Dont do the rear kit. The calipers are the same. Id say go ahead and upgrade to the cobra kit, or in the very least, get brembo blank rotors and some good pads and stainless brake lines. That will improve braking tenfold.
