Guys I have 02 pbr calipers on my fox right now.... I was checking at work and I can order 01 cobra brakes, rotors, calipers, and caliper brackets ... Will they just bolt to the 02 gt spindles and brake lines?

Answering my own question... Yea they do. Looks like I'm getting 13" rotors now! Just gotta get that rear disc setup....

They will bolt to your current brake lines as long as they are 99-04 brake lines. Those can work with either the GT/v6 caliper, or the cobra stuff.

Sweet! I've got 02 brake lines already. I also have the 95 booster/master setup. Weird thing... The caliper brackets are what will take the longest to get.. Special order at $30 a pop. Once I get this done, I'll start on the rear.

Which master are you running?

I'd it's the 94-95 GT/v6 master, you might find the pedal a tad stiff. You want a 1" bore mc (1993 cobra)

I do have the 95 master. Would the fluid requirement be that much more for the cobra calipers? I've got dual piston pbr's already.

It's actually less. You have 44.5 mm pistons now (2 per caliper)

Cobras use 38mm pistons (94-98) or 40mm pistons (99-04)

That's why a slightly smaller bore mc might give you the feel you need.

Try the one you have, but if it feels stiff, keep this in mind
