I'm looking to do this upgrade, but the calipers I have did not come with the original mounting brackets that hold the caliper. Did anyone have this problem, and if so, where did you source the brackets? I'm not talking about the Doward bracket adapters that fit them to the Supra, but rather the brackets themselves.
Any help would be truly appreciated.

I have an extra set of brackets. They cost 100 bucks on ebay if you can find them. I had the same damn problem as well. Ill tell you what, make me a reasonable offer on them and I will priority mail them to you. I bought mine for 100 bucks. I dont expect you to have to pay that, so just make me a reasonable offer.

True, but they don't sell the front Cobra units.
In fact, Ford doesn't even sell them anymore- you have to go to THEIR source- PBR in Australia.
I suggest that anyone doing this upgrade be sure to buy the calipers WITh the brackets, and not bare, like me.
Luckily Airhead was able to hook me up. I guess I should have updated this thread.

Even at autozone and places like that, you can order them as "loaded" calipers. Which include brackets. But no one ever sends them with the brackets. It took me and a buddy 4 MONTHS to get the brackets. -__-
