You would need to get 17" rims to clear the calipers .

yea you need 17 inch wheels. you can probably pick up a set cheap from ebay or something. i just scored a set of 01 cobras for 400 bucks with tires. also check out www.buyfordracing.com their kits are cheaper than american muscle.

You will notice a difference if you go to slotted rotors. Breaking will improve.....

ive heard good things about EBC brake pads too. you could also upgrade the rear brakes to cobra specs without changing your wheels.
i personally like the way the cars with pbr calipers stop.

Biggest effect will come from using stainless brake lines.

You already have a set of PBRs. They come OEM. THey're an upgrade over the Fox brakes, but they're not generally the ones used in an upgrade over your calipers.

The Cobra kit is also PBR based, but it's the line they use on Holdens, F-bodies, and the Cobra.
