Has anyone tried installing the Mustang Cobra 13" brakes on a Contour SVT? It's about $400 for the front brake kit, and it's the same thing as the Baer kit for the Contour except the brackets are different (I think). So if there were brackets then it would be a cheap alternative. The Baer dual-piston calipers are just PBR calipers that are relabeled.
there is a kid at school whos SVT has cobra brakes on it rotors and all. the previous owner installed them and he redrilled the rotors to fit the contour. im not sure what he did for the bracket though. it just barely clears the kids 17s. the brakes work great though and he stops on a dime. still not sure that i would do it though.
Care to dig up some pics?

if you can, try to take some shots of how the caliper is mounted to the knuckle.

Since this thread has been brought back from the dea, i'd lik to add that when using the FSVT brakes, longer bolts are not required. There's plenty of meat on the stockers. Seriously. Due to a fubar in ordering parts, i was forced to run stock bolts using my FSVT setup, and almost 3 years and countless emergency stops later - they are fine.
