In a predicament...

Alright. I've been trying to plan a few upgrades for this winter when the car is pretty much gonna be parked in my garage. :)

I've been debating on upgrading the brakes, and have always been a fan of the PBR swap, and from what I've seen, swapping to Mustang hubs, and going to mustang brakes.

PBR swap, using a slightly larger rotor than what I have now. This is easily my cheapest route. I know of a few small modifications to the caliper are needed, but no big deal. This would offer better braking, but I'd still be stuck with small brakes, for a nice heavy car.

I'd much rather have 13'+ brakes though, and I guess I have two choices when it comes to this.

Order a set of 13' rotors off of SCP of $135 a piece, for our bolt pattern. Will Cobra calipers work with these with no problem? I was curious on if there could be a weird offset, causing excessive wear. The only problem I see with this is the fact that replacing rotors WILL NOT be cheap. The upside besides better stopping power, is I can obviously retain the use of my 18' Bullits

Or, I could always hub swap the car. Mustang rotors are a bit cheaper than SCP ones. Not sure how much, but from working at my brother's shop, I have discounts through a few auto parts places. Downsides are I wouldn't be able to finish this during winter, and I'd have to find some other rims to run.

I'm aiming towards the rotors off of SCP, anyone have any different opinions?
