4 piston brake caliper

[Seraphitia102]

I have the Cobra front brake kit installed and want to go with a larger caliper. Could I just purchase Brembo 4 piston calipers and put them on my current brake kit?

The Cobra brake kit is not enough?! The Cobra R kit (I think) is bigger.

Its pretty new but there is a 2007 Shelby Brembo big brake four piston kit in the 2007 FRPP catalog that you might want to look into. Be sure you verify that the backspacing of your rim is sufficient to clear the caliper though! And be sure to sell those Cobra calipers to offset some of your costs!

you won't have to buy new rotors or lines, you would just need the 4 piston caliper/bracket/pads and remove your old ones and sell them.

The Cobra R kit is a 4 piston caliper with the same size rotor.

I was considering doing the same thing.

Sell me your Cobra kit.

it will only make a big difference if you go to a 14 inch caliper.

The PBR/Cobra calipers are enought for me.....but then again you have a heavy New Egde Vert

Gotta love the Lightness of a hardtop SN95

17 03' cobras and 95' R wheels clear those

Unfortunately i don't have either of those wheels

Are those the focus calipers? I heard they were discontinued. They are very nice calipers

Kinda pricey at $699, but damn good calipers.

But that's untrue. Going to the 4 piston caliper will make a difference in stopping power versus the PBR 2 piston unit.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

Absolutely, the four piston design has two pistons pushing on each side of the rotor instead of on just one side like the GT and the Cobra calipers. Pushing on both sides is the way real race car brakes are designed.

Hell yea! for 700 bucks they better pop the blood vessels in your eyes everytime you stand on the brakes.

I wouldn't mind swapping in some of those in the future myself.

I want those in red to match my rears. Damn things only come in black and now silver.

I kept seeing those silver Brembo's, but could never find out where to buy them. I was about to buy the '00 Cobra R kit and I was really bummed that I could only get them in black. So are the silver ones the same as the black ones that come in the '00 Cobra R kit? They look slightly different. I know the caliper in the '00 Cobra R kit uses the same pads as the Dodge Viper so I liked that it would be easy to get pads. If these are the same as the black ones in the '00 Cobra R kit, I'll get the silver ones and find my own rotors and braided lines. Does anybody know?

 

[Kilgore Trout]

I am pretty sure those silver ones are for the Focus RS and have been discontinued. Some vendors may still have them but I would definitely confirm availability before ordering...

 

[Seraphitia102]

Focuses actually have 4 piston brakes?
