You say you're dirt poor? Then why do you think you need better brakes? The '99-up cars with their PBR dual piston front calipers and rear disks set ups are more than capable of halting a Mustang with stock size wheels down from any speed.
are the cross drilled or slotted not spose to have an advantage over the plain rotors? how are the cobra calipers different from the stock GT?
ANy questions??
Yes, how do you keep your brakes so clean and shiney.

does the viper use the same caliper with the same mounting bracket as the 00r? i know the focus brembo's are the same as the cobras
Well smart guy, since you’ve got your facts mixed up a little bit, here’s something for you to think about!!! Based on the weight of the car and the rotational mass of the stock wheel/tire combinations, the dual piston calipers that came with the car do a much better job of slowing it down when you compare the old single piston versions on the earlier SN95's, or the single piston disk/drum brakes on the Fox's. This is the reason I asked!
On top of that, the multiple piston design doesn't necessarily do a much better job of "putting on the binders" so to speak, but allows the operator to modulate the brakes more precisely under braking reducing the possibility of fade. It does this by applying pressure to the brake pad more evenly over the entire area of the pad, rather than just the center of it. It’s the larger rotor that controls the majority of the ability to “slow the car down” by allowing room for larger brake pads and more over all surface area. This allows for more material on the rotor and the ability to more efficiently dissipate heat.
My question was legitimate, since it’s well known the stock brakes do a decent job of slowing the new edge mustangs down in comparison to the earlier versions that were bolted basically onto the same car. You state you have limited funds, so you might want to consider things like an alternative designed rotor, ceramic brake pads or just simply changing the way you torque your wheels on.
I wasn’t trying to be a jerk, I was trying to get you to elaborate on your situation. So save the :Zip2: smiley for guys who aren’t legitimately trying to help you out!
i apologize. i took the post wrong. ive been told that ceramic pads dont make a big difference in the braking. what alternative design rotor will help and what do you mean by the way the wheels are torqued on?
