[QUOTE="Oh Three Cobra, post: 3190327, member: 21729"] The 2000 Cobra R kit seams to be the best deal out there. It is overkill for the street and seams to hold up pretty well to track duty as well. They also clear the stock 03-04 wheels. The larger kits seam to get really expensive and fast. I think the problem with our cars is that they have had the same brakes since 94, yet the weight has substaintialy increased. Larger or fancier rotors will only help reduce brake fade. The only way to increase stopping power is to increase to coefficient of friction. This can be done by increasing brake clamping power through larger or more pistons, more agressive pads, or firmer brake lines that will transmit more force to the calipers instead of wasting it on flexing the line. I'm actually piecing together a kit because I found some new Cobra R calipers for a good deal. I'm still deciding which rotors to go with. I am also going to frabricate somew ducting to help cool them. [/QUOTE]
