Hello fellers, I have been looking...and looking for brake parts for the 5 lug/disk swap. I am wanting to do the sn95 cobra brake set up in the front. The only thing I am having trouble finding is the caliper bracket? I can find them for GT and any other model besides the cobra. anyone know where I might be able to find them at. Any help is greatly appreciated.

diskbrakesrus.com might have them.


Typically, the brackets are part pf the caliper, sp when you buy calipers used, you want to try and make sure they are included in the deal...because finding them is next to impossible

Thanks for the reply....I actually just bought a front cobra set up, for 650 shipped on ebay...comes with brand new- calipers,rotors,spindles,braided lines, pads....figured it wasnt to shabby of a deal....I ordered a gt set up for the rear, I am going to get the cobra 94-95 booster just not too sure about what master cylinder to get because I got the GT brakes in the rear? Any ideas..Like a decently firm pedal

this will most likley make you sick but i went to the swap meet a few weeks ago and got a whole 95 gt kit, booster, spindels, F/R calipers, F/R rotors, axles, everything needed for $150. i have to turn the rotors but who cares @ that price.
best of luck with your project!

Gt brakes are same as cobra....just a larger diameter on the cobra brakes.


What year is the front setup off? 94-98 or 99-04. A 1993 cobra MC should provide you the feel you are looking for with either setup.

The buyer did not say, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110363210653&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:MOTORS:1123


Here is a link for the front it just says 94-2004 brake conversion for 87-93

I think i will go for the 93 cobra MC I am going to go with the 93 booster too.

More than likely, they will be 99-04 calipers as that's all ypu can get new these days.

1" 1993 cobra MC will wor for you.


Those are probably 96-04 spindles as well.

yea I did probably get a little ripped but I search for a while for them...so I said screw it, not that bad of a deal for that size of brakes....things are gonna be sweet. also The company sent me a message saying they are powder coating the calipers for free....guess they should when I spend 650 bones I am pumped to get babies on.
