What about using the SN95 Cobra 11.65" brakes? Could be put together for less money, and you don't have to worry about getting a replacement rotor drilled for the 5 on 4.5" pattern (if you were to trash the Baer rotor, which is a 12" Corvette piece drilled for 4.5" circle). I doubt that there would be much, if any, difference in braking capacity. The only real advantage I can think of would be the lighter weight of the aluminium caliper with the Baer system.

Solo1 is as economical as real racing can get. (Next to your FREE lapping days)
They charge only $110 for a 1 day event and offer a racing driving school every spring that includes two days of schooling + 1 free event day for only $395. (last years price)

Get your hands on an appropriate master cylinder and booster, Fast Ed should be able to point you in the right direction as he's the Ford Parts Guru.

I dont want the sn95 axels, they are too long for the 9 inch wide wheels. i got aerostar axles from a junkyard ....they are the same size as the fox axles, but in 5 bolt. i dont drag race, so i dont need the 31 splines. im going to get a 1 1/8" master. im going to leave the fox booster for now, but if i dont like the feel, im going to get a sn95 V6 booster. ford racing sells a cobra rear caliper set. i found brakets that will let me run fox axels with sn95 cobra calipers. if anyone is intrested in swaping to rear disks, check out sn95brakes.com it will answer all your questions.
thanks for the help everyone that replied.

Using brackets from http://www.northcobras.com/index.html They only space the wheels out 1/4 inch more each side.
These brackets will also work with C-clip eliminators.
