Just trying to get some clarification-----

Can I use a cobra front 13" brake kit with a stock 94-95 mustang rear brake kit without any issues?

Would this parts list be accurate

Front:
94-95 spindles (modified for clearance)
cobra 13" rotors
PBS two piston caliper
hubs
dust shields
caliper brackets
SS brake lines

Rear:
sn-95 axles or 5 lug fox axles with north race brackets
stock 94-95 rear calipers and rotors
SS brake lines

Additional:
sn-95 or cobra MC
sn-95 or cobra booster
fitting adapters
adj. prop. valve

Am I missing anything?
What modifications would be necessary to the e-brake with such a set up?

You can use that setup fine. I ran cobra brakes with gt rears on my '03 GT.



Question thoug. Why go GT rear stuff when the cobra stuff is not that much more money?

easy access for me at the moment. Did I leave anything off of my parts list?

Let's see

For the front,

Weatherhead 7828 adapter unless you get Fox-specific SS lines
spacer for balljoint unless you use SN95 balljoint

For the rear

Anti-moan braces
dust shields
Max motorsports is the only one making SS lines for the rear. You need the 94-95 style. They sell the 3-peice kit which also has the center line for $150ish


For the e-brake, read the 2300-K instructions i posted in your other thread. Go to the e-brake section. You need those exact part numbers and instructions on how to mod the e-brake handle

No need to modify the front spindles for clearance. The cobra calipers are actually smaller than the 99+ GT calipers.

I am in the process of gathering all the parts needed for this same type swap, but I have a question in regards to the above stated MC selection. I have been told that it is best to use a 94-95 V6 MC for this conversion. Is there any truth in this statement? As for why I am running the factory GT brakes in the rear, 15" draglites at the track. Street rims and tires ar going to be either 17's or 18's, but strip wheels are only 15's. I will be using 15" skinnies on the front with spacers. Will the Cobra 13" brakes on the front be able to be used with the spacer and minor clearance of the caliper?
