yep. Mach 1's, Bullitts, and all 94 up cobras have the same 13" brake setup on the Front.

Brian and I both run a Baer 13" (4-lug) that is the same as the above mentioned cars on our foxes. Going to a 13" brake setup is worth whatever you spend on it in my opinion. Only reason to do the Baer kit is if you had a fox and wanted to retain 4-lug

Whit, if those are true Brembo Cobra R 4-pot calipers you should know that those cannot be rebuilt; when you have a caliper go bad you have to completely replace the set. Also, the Brembo is a fixed caliper that limits your selection of pads and rotors to a small cross-section of expensive ones. When I have to make a brake upgrade I'm going with the Stoptech ST-40 4-piston Kit. It's a little more expensive initially, but it comes with a two piece fully floating rotor and EXCELLENT customer service.

99+ GT's = Two Piston PBR's with a Silver Finish
96-04 Cobra's = Two Piston PBR's with a Black Finish and Cobra machined on the Caliper Body
Bullitt Mustangs = Two Piston PBR's with a Red Finish and a Pony machined on the Caliper Body

All the PBR's will fit on either the 11" or 13" rotors, the only difference between the setups is the caliper bracket that bolts to the spindle.

Here is the site that is considered the authority for 5-lug brake upgrades: http://sn95brakes.cjb.net/ (Warning: Pop-ups) There's info on there how to modify the spindles correctly.

Here is the only picture I have of my modified SN-95 spindles. The red boxes indicate the area's being ground.

You are right about them being expensive! I can get Brembo's for $729.00 (calipers, rotors and pads)
