I installed a solid axle in my 01 Cobra a while back. I didnt take the brakes off of my IRS. I would like to know what I need or if some one has everything for sale please let me know. Thanks

It's late, and I am a bit confused.
Did you put the Cobra brakes onto the solid axle or the GT type brakes?
Which do you need?
I have brackets here for both types.
The calipers for a GT/reg stang are not the same, nor are the rotors.
I am pretty sure I have GT rear rotors and GT calipers in the garage also if thats what you need.

I left the GT brake set-up on the Solid axle when I put it in. I want to put the Cobra brakes back on the car. So if you have the caliper brackets pm me a price. Thanks

I am not trying to start anything, believe me.
I went from GT front and rear brakes to Cobra on my engine swap car.
( 2000 GT / 2000 FRPP Cobra crate motor)
The rear rotors on a GT are non-vented and thinner than the Cobras.
The Cobra calipers are nearly identical, but wider where it fits over the rotor.
I compared the two side by side when I was doing the brake swap.
Even the pads are different, but I don't know what the difference is.

birdman, we're saying the same thing. yes, the rotors are different. yes the caliper brackets are different. No, the calipers themselves are not. Look at the part #s on the calipers, they are the same as well.
