For what it's worth I just went through a brake issue and changing the pedal ratio made a world of difference for me. My first thought was bigger rotors but got to thinking that the brakes I have (9" rotors up front and 10" drums in back) worked on a street driven car that outweights a Cobra by 1000 lbs. My pedal box as it was, was set up for a booster for the master cylinder which I did not have. I changed the pivot for a manual brake ratio and I gotta say they feel and work much better. I had also read other posts on the issue where bigger rotors alone still did not solve the brake problems. If your mind is already made up, go for the bigger better brakes but make sure you master and pedal are set up properly too.
