Whew, $9000 is a BIG price increase all right. Those larger brakes and up-grade rear end won't return near that on "re-sale". Of course everyone says your not supposed to worry about re-sale, but I do!

On my first Cobra, an Excalibur, I was racing it hard on the road track here. My brakes were terrible!! I up-graded the calipers to Wilwood multi piston units, high temp pads, high temp fluid and added some brake cooling ducts. Cost about $500. Night and day difference!! That bad boy would haul you down in a hurry and not overheat! The best part for me was more brake feeling and control. Rotors remained the same. I had a brake bias balance control, HIGHLY recommended. Add the anti wheel hop kit to the stock IRS and bam, your done!

Hey, just my opinion, thats what I would do!
