I don't think you need them. You're using a brake system designed for a car that weighs at 1/2 ton more than the Cobra. Some people just like power, though.

Same thing with the clutch. I like cable operated, because it's simple and easy. No fluids to leak. No expensive parts. I use only Ford cables, and have never broken one. I carry a spare, only because I have it.
