95gt brakes to 98 Cobra?

armyed · Oct 6, 2007

Anyone know where I can find out how to convert my 95Gt Brakes and all to a 98 Cobras brake setup? Im thinking about buying the 98 Cobras setup and swapping them to mine for the 13Inch rotors in front and the slightly larger ones in back. Any info would be great. Thanks

the fronts are as easy to convert as unbolting the old ones and bolting on the new. the rears are a little more complicated. you need the new rotors and a set of cobra pads,the calipers are the same. and you also will need a set of cobra caliper brackets, this is what bolts to the axle housing all of this and you should be good to go

Hey bro thanks....im looking at getting everything for the conversion for about $250 front and back and it sounds like a great deal. Ill make sure it comes with everything for the rear to make it work. You think 250 is good for everything? Thanks

250 sounds really good. i pad 150 each for my cross drilled and slotted rotors in the back alone.... so if you can do it for 250 go for it

Hey man one more question. I have slotted and crossed drilled Rotors in the front with the stock brake size. Is there anyway I can use those for the rear rotors or will those rotors not work??? this might be a stupid question but im curious so I can still use the ones I have.

nope, sorry you can't the stock front rotors are somewhere in the area of 10.5" or 10.8", the stock rear cobras are in the area of 11.65". If your looking to get rid of those stock rotors I'll take them off your hands, I need them for my SN95 brake swap...

No my rears are stock Gt brakes...all I got were the 13' Front cobra set so once those go on ill have my slotted and crossed drilled front rotors that are gt size. Any ideas????? If I cant I may sell them once I get the Cobras on

Not exactly---you'll need fine thread banjo bolts for the Cobra & late model PBR upgrade. Our calipers take the coarse thread.

armyed · Nov 7, 2007

well heres what I got...I have the full assembly not just the rotors and calipers...Now with what i have will I be good to just bolt it all up and be done or will I still have to get the Banjo bolts.

armyed · Nov 8, 2007

any ideas????????

Your banjo bolts are already on there. The other end of your brake hoses (where the small red tabs are) connects to the hard brake lines on the vehicle. It looks good to go, just bolt everything up and give them a good bleed. Good Luck.

ProKiller · Nov 8, 2007

thats a good deal you got there. make sure you bleed the system good.

I think you need the Cobra master. I did this swap on my old 95GT. The brakes sucked. I didn't do the master.

armyed · Nov 8, 2007

Will do guys thanks a million..cant wait till Feb when im home and I put them all on

armyed · Nov 8, 2007

The master is the same on both gt and cobra im pretty sure...Maybe you just didnt bleed them right or at all???? If someone knows different about the master cylinder let me know

95LiterGT · Nov 8, 2007

The Cobra master cylinder is optional. I did not do it and my brake pedal is a little firmer but my brakes work just fine, a big improvement over the GT setup.

95LiterGT · Nov 8, 2007

The master cylinders have a different bore size. Just a fyi, if you do decide to use a 94 and up cobra master cylinder it is not plug and play. The Cobra MC requires different fittings than the GT. You will have to re-flare the lines. I did hear at one time the 93 Cobra master cylinders were a direct fit. Anyone remember this?
