I'm installing a brembo 2000 cobra R front brake set up on a 2003 Cobra.
I know the size/part is the same as a standard 13" cobra rotor, but the pads are different.
Does any one know the ford part # for the brembo pads?
Or does any one know the dodge part # for the same pads? I do know that this set up was the same as was on an earlier model year viper.
I'm having a hard time finding the brembo pad replacements.
thanks in advance for your input.

I put the Brembo calipers on my 97 Cobra. The factory pads were dirty and LOUD!!!, plus they died pretty quickly. Try the Hawk pads for that application. Several track weekends and thousands of miles later, they're still good!

flexiclese - If you are looking for specific '00 Cobra R part numbers, I would browse/search the
"Cobra R" subforum of the SVTP message board or try contacting Ford Performance Group (formerly SVT; try giving them a phone call ?).


Can't say I've seen too many '00 R owners posting here on Stangnet...g'luck !

Thanks for the replies.
I had seen the Hawk HPS 570's would fit the application but wasn't sure how they would behave on the street.
The original brembo pads worked very well with out having to be heated up very much if at all, they STOP quick even under normal driving. The statement about the brembos being dusty is very true.... rims don't stay clean long.
If the HPS 570 behave like the original brembo R pads that would be what I'm looking for.
If anybody has experience with them let know.
thanks again

I have the HPS on my 97. They've been great street pads and gave me great performance oon track days. Very durable and best used with plain Brembo rotors.
