Not exactly. If this was the case, they would technically still work, but you will just have some pad overhang.

The real reason they wont work with the brackets designed for cobra rotors is because the offset is different between the two. The back of the maxima rotor will touch the caliper when bolted down. The car literally wont move. Ask me how I know... lol.

I have been trying to get a response from racetechperformance and not even the customer service knows about the cobra rotor and having them done to maxima spec. They keep telling me they only sell the brembo ones for the max but no cobra... so I also tried to hit up Jason(Automax_95) through his e-mail and still no response.

I may be missing something. Do you have Jeffs hub rings with you kit? The Cobra rotors are just 1998 Mustang Cobra rotors.
