04 GT Brake Upgrade :)

RoadconeTuning · Aug 14, 2006

i decided that the stock GT brakes suck major monkey testicles so i started shelling out dough for cobra parts... well so far ive got...

03-04 Black Cobra Calipers
03-04 Brembo Cross Drilled and Slotted Rotors
03-04 Cobra Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines from Goodridge
03-04 Cobra Hawk HPS Brake pads

i have yet to recieve the hawk pads in the mail but i have the rest of the parts and the stock PBR pads...

not bad at all

That just for front?

RoadconeTuning · Aug 15, 2006

yeah... just for the front... i plan on doing the eradispeed rear upgrade when i get 18x10" wheels.

You do know that those rotors are probably drilled and slotted by an aftermarket company, and not Brembo right?

Not saying that that's bad or anything, just that Brembo doesn't make a rotor with both. They are most likely OEM Cobra rotors drilled and slotted by an aftermarket company.

RoadconeTuning · Aug 15, 2006

they are brembo rotors that were drilled and slotted by Sportbrakes. the oem rotors have a painted protective coating and these are zinc washed... i believe that brembo tells them what pattern to use for the drill/slotting because every set i could fidn that was drilled and slotted looked EXACTLY the same... plus i dont plan on getting them so ho t that they crack.

That stuff looks great man, that definitely the next thing i'm doing. The calipers you got are for a cobra/mach 1 i assume?

BooWFO · Aug 15, 2006

they won't clear a 15" rim will they?

No, minimum of a 17" rim, and only certain ones at that.

RoadconeTuning · Aug 15, 2006

they require a 17" wheel. and i have teh cobra calipers but the cobra/mach1/bullits are all the same... just diffrent stuff on them and the cobra uses a diffrent thread pitch on the banjo bolt...

PonyboyIsaac · Aug 15, 2006

cool man, you got some good deals, ebay ftw

Mustang5L5 · Aug 15, 2006

You are gonna love em. I've had my Mach 1 brakes on for 3 days and i still have a smile on my face from just driving around slamming on the brakes!

Your Goodridge lines look different than mine. Mine have a red sleeve over the stainless part. Other than that looks the same.

I do like your rotors more. I just have the plain Brembos

RedDaemon · Aug 15, 2006

the cross drilled/slotted rotors look really awesome, but u pretty much just bought urself the equavilent of a stock front gt rotor..that can break...wouldnt prevent me from gettin them tho

oh well i love the look, im gunna ebay it up when it comes to doin my brakes, hopefulyl this winter

Ebay has good deals on some used parts, but BuyFordRacing has gotten pretty cheap with their new kits. I just bought my Mach 1 front kit with new calipers and pads, plain Brembo rotors and those Goodridge SS lines for $310 for all brand new stuff. Their pricing on Bullitt and Cobra calipers are not that much higher either

nothing was used... all new parts in box

as for the drilled/slotted thing... im sure that even w/ the few drilled holes that it still had more brake surface than a stock GT rotor plus oen of the reasons i got them was the BLING factor lol

and i think the Goodrich lines come w/ the red covering not goodridge... i tried to order goodrich th first time but apparently they arent making nay mroe for a while and no where has tehm in stock.

That's what I have. Goodridge. They came in the same exact box as yours and everything. Only difference is mine have a red sleeve over the stainless. Not that it matters or anything, i just find it odd.

RoadconeTuning · Aug 16, 2006

i wanted the red sleeve.... might be the fact that i got these for cheap.
