Neo-
I wouldn't worry about bigger brakes, unless your going racing. These cars are so short and light weight, that you don't need big expensive one's, same goes for power steering. You really need to feel the road with a Cobra.

Everyone is different but, I don't like the 17" wheel, as they look too big for the car. I like to fill the wheel well with tire. If I were to build a Hot Rodded Cobra, I may use the larger wheels or, if I were road racing. There's not much tire selection for the 15' anymore. I'm thinking,... of replacing my Good Year II's with the billboard tires. I love the racing look but, I hear different opinions with these. Some say they are stone throwers and don't ride the highways well, being of bias tire construction.
