Im actually thinking about getting some. Is it best to get cross drilled and slotted? Or just one or the other? Its a street car by the way....

this is the cheapest i have found that includes the m/c.

you do not NEED drilled or slotted rotors. quite frankly on a street car the only benefits you will notice is looks and decreased scoring of the rotors.

How about this?

Looks like a pretty good deal to me, anyone with experience with them? They also have the matching 13' rear kit for $299

Do u have to get a new m/c? What does this new one do differently?

the m/c included with that kit is th OE cobra m/c. it is supposed to supply the larger amount of fluid required to compress the caliper.

many on this site have stated that did not put on the m/c and have had no adverse effects. i don't jack around when it comes to my cars brakes. i believe there is a reason why all reputable suppliers of this and like kits all include the m/c for 94/95 cars.

btw, i have a cobra with 10th anniv calipers, frpp drilled/slotted rotors(like the look), hawk pads, and braided hoses. my car has a very good pedal and stops very well for what it is.

So u have the M/C i take it right? What about your rears?

i have a cobra, so my car was already equipped the upgraded m/c. my rears match my fronts.

this is a good site that someone from the fox forum posted up a while back. it has some real good info on piston size and so on.

btw, my pedal is far from soft.

Ohhh gotcha, that makes sense. Yea i saw that website on a link that killercanary posted in a past thread.

Thanks for the help!

Not trying to hijack the thread, but has anyone replaced the M/C? Is it hard? Anything u have to be careful of? I know the brakes(calipers,rotors, etc) are pretty easy/straight forward. What about the m/c?

 

[nmcgrawj]

Just found a thread that describes it...will post it just incase anyone else needs the help.

So basically u hook the 2 lines up and run it into a reservoir of brake fluid and pump it on the end until all the air bubbles are out of the lines? So its like u have brake fluid in the reservoir uptop, then the two lines run into a tub of brake fluid correct?

Am i getting this right?

Thats how you bench bleed the mc. Which will have to be done with a new one. So you are right about that. When I upgrade my brakes to most likely cobras, I will be getting the mc as well. Like Ben said, its not worth skipping out on stuff. Do it right the first time.
