Anyone know of any that are available?

-Also, my cheap self was thinking of upgrading the GT's rotors to 13" Cobra rotors and adding SS brake lines to make a cheap brake upgrade for the track. It might require a bit of custom fabbing, but it should be a real cheap upgrade.

Stainless Steel Brake Corporation (SSBC) is producing a brake kit for our cars I'm told. Not sure if it is released yet or not

You may have to get bigger rims as well, I know there isn't much clearance between the calipers and my bullitt rims right now.

Well I was planning on getting 18s, so that really isn't a problem. The stock 05' rims have a chance of working, since the Cobra also has 17s. The problem I see that could arise is the difference in offset. I just need my car so I can do some measurements. If it works, we will have a cheap brake upgrade. The stock 05 calipers might work, so all you would need is Cobra rotors and SS brake lines. Of course, you would also upgrade the pads, so for track use I would choose PF 01 Race pads(If available).
