you know i have a question...ive got spindles and hubs off of a 2000 newer stang and a set of 01 cobra rims. i was gonna buy a new set of the 13"brembo rotors, callipers and hose/line kit everyone has for 400 bucks. from what i thought there is a mounting bracket that goes between the calliper assembly and the spindle right? ive never seen one though. or am i wrong and the calliper assembly bolts right to the spindle? if this is the case im all set. otherwise im outting it off untill i can track down the bracket...


also, is it realy worth it to get the bigger vented cobra rear brakes vs. just using a stock mustang setup?(they were all the same right?)

the bracket is attached to the caliper already. you are good to go. i was going to buy the same kit but thinking about get the 00 V6 pbr calipers instead.

there is an advantage to vented rear. cooler brakes = less fade.

can't wait to see what your ride looks like with those wheels. ^_^

I'm working on it Mikey. My bro has to roll the Ram Air out of the garage so I can get to all the parts. And we just got almost a foot of snow. Bear with me my man....
