Do the '99 and '03 Cobra share the same exact brake calipers? Not just the same size, but same manufacturer, dimensions, etc. as well?

Thanx for any info.

Actually all Cobras 94-03 have the same front calipers. They are all made by PBR and are exactly the same.

Thanks for the info. That's what I thought... Weird, somebody on here has Enkei RPF1s on their 99 Cobra and they're running them with no problems. I put them on my 03 Cobra and the front wheels are hitting something. Took the wheels off and found little nicks/scrapes on the inside of the wheel. Yup, definitely hitting something and Discount Tire says they fit the 03 Cobra no problem... Uh huh, sure...

Is there something else that the wheel could be hitting that's different on 03 Cobras (vs 99s)?

Thanx.

They are not all exactly the sxame, although they are interchangable. 99 and up PBRs have slightly larger pistons according to the SVT press releases of that time.
