Very true. Stock Fox Mustang brakes are going to be more effective on a 2200lb Cobra than a 3200lb Mustang. As for the unsprung weight, that really depends on the brake caliper and rotors. The aluminum Brembos and the like will be much lighter, but you than add mass back with the bigger rotors. Of course you can use a nice 2 piece rotor with an aluminum hat to bring the mass back down. If money wasn't a concern I'd run 5 lug spindles with 2000 Cobra R 4 piston Brembos and 2 piece rotors.
The 94-95 SN95 spindles should also improve steering response over the older Fox spindles, while maintaining the same track width. The later 96 and up spindles will increase track width by 8mm on each side.
I honestly would never build a Cobra an use the 4 lug stuff of the Fox, Im not even using that on my 93 Mustang.
