    upgrade brakes

    I was also thinking of upgrading to cobra brakes. One question I dont think it will matter but better safe then sorry. Do I also need to upgrade the master cylinder/brake booster? or can I just bolt on the caliper, brackets and rotors?

    you can do them individually. it usually how i see them packaged. just make sure that your caliper doesnt just fit your summer rim but also winter wheels as well if you drive in the winter.

    Actually the rears use the same caliper. It just has a bigger rotor. To upgrade the rear you have to pull the axles and bolt on a new caliper bracket to accept the new rotor.

    haha I have one set of wheels. My car is a garage queen. Lol it never see rain or snow. I already took the insurance of it for the winter. Just got fire and theft on it now. I figured I could do them individualy. Just wanted to make sure.
