Interesting swap though.
The J55 brake set up is exactly the same caliper and pad used on the SN95 Cobra. What I do not know is, is if the abutment bracket mount to the spindle is the same size and distance. Never cared to find out.

I've found a set of Brembo 4pot calipers. They came off a Mustang SN95, and include the mounting brackets.
Now what little I know is the PBR J55 calipers are the same as the Mustang SN95 Cobra calipers. What should I ask about the mounting brackets to determine if they would fit?
Yea I know get 6 pot calipers, etc, etc, etc. But these are $600 vs $1600!
Without seeing a picture of what pieces you are using it could be easy to fab a bracket, or you could play hell. What will help tremendously is if the caliper is radial mount instead of a axial mount. The other consideration is what rotor you are planning on using and the offset needed to get the caliper to center on that location.
