IF you knew how cheaply you could replicate the electrical portion of the switch with parts from Radio Shack would you say that?

I believe you do need at least 17" wheels I have 17" RPF1s luckily lol. I spent about $360ish on the calipers with brackets and stock rotors, $110 for the brake line kit and $170 for the bracket kit from Driftmotion, and about $80 each for these rotors on Rockauto, and about $90 on the EBC Yellow pads. I have spent probably about $8-900 roughly on this setup but it's good knowing that rotors are cheap and the calipers are OEM, so they are reliable and the parts are cheap to get. Still looking at about $500 cheaper than if you go for a big brake kit with like Wilwood or something because last I checked those were about $1,300 and I've heard of Wilwoods warping rotors. A friend of mine James Ward who has the world's fastest MK3 runs the Cobra brake setup and he recommended that I get them and helped me piece together the parts list for my use.Silver MK3;2031746 said:About how much have you spent on everything for the cobra brake swap, if you don't mind me asking? Also, you need 17" wheels to clear these brakes right?

I think you can buy just the calipers from rockauto for about $160ish each but you do need the brackets too. I was surprised it came out to this much as well but with brakes it's best not to cheap out.Silver MK3;2031753 said:Wow, I didn't realize it would run quite that much, but like you said it's still cheaper than the Willwood kits. I'm sure you will like the performance from them definitely though.
