Default Questions for the group

I am new to the forum and have a 1998 Cobra Convertible. I have changed the front brakes to Brembo. The question, has anyone heard of a conversion using the OEM Cobra front brakes on the rear?
Another question, anyone know where I can get Flared front fenders so can fit race tires...315 to 335.Want to use on front and rear, so need rear flares also.
Also, does anyone have any ideas to increase HP without cracking into engine..have shorty headers,x-pipe with cats, pullies, K&N filter, 3.73 gears ,alluminium driveshaft, side exhaust. Most of my work has been on the suspension.
Thanks to all!

Just so you know MustangMike94 he wouldn't need bigger injectors, stocks will handle great for the hp that his car would have they would only make the car run too rich unless he got a tune...even then they would be useless. And all a bigger MAF is for is to support MORE hp it doesn't actually give any more. lol thats pretty much the story with the throttle body too. Its really only meant to support a mass amount of airflow, so without a blower or turbo its really not worth the money. not trying to be ***** just letting you know man.

Your pretty much done with your basic bolt ons.
If you you dont want to crack in to the motor the next best thing is to start dropping weight.
If you live in a non smog testing state you can drop your smog pump, drop your a/c/ rear seat delete and take out the spare tire.

There's no need to throw your old 13" brakes in the rear. It's your front you want bigger they do 90% of the breaking. Bigger in the rear will be alittle bit better but I dont think it's worth it for only 10% I'll keep them off because of the weight savings.

Mod motors like power adders, i suggest and S/C setup at low boost. Should put you around 400 rwhp and thats about how far you want to take the stock bottom end safely.
