First of all, welcome to Stangnet! Second of all, the search button is your friend. This topic and any varying degree of install problems and How To's can be found on each type of brake upgrade. You have the Cobra brake upgrade, Baer, Brembo... a good site to check out is stangsuspension.com, they have good brake lines along with MM (Maximum Motorsports), and I don't know of any new calipers that don't come with pads, but if you want a little extra bite you have the I believe EBC Green Stuff pads, and Hawk pads. Alright, now go hunting!

I bought the 2004 10th Anniversary Cobra front and rear brake kits with stainless steel lines. Total was about $830.00. Everything is included: rotors, pads, calipers, and other miscelaneous parts. Calipers are red with the word "Cobra" on the fronts. All new OEM parts in mint condition.

If you find a better price elsewhere.....great! I'd highly recommend upgrading the front and rear at the same time. The Cobra brakes are excellent for the street, particularly with stainless steel lines and the GT master cylinder. Pedal feel is perfect and the overall performance is night and day compared to GT brakes. Possibly the best upgrade I've done, not to mention I now consider my car quite safe.

ANyone know what the "next best" caliper is after the PBR?

I put those on, and it was better, but not by much?

the cobra brake upgrade on a gt is worth is weight in gold. the gt brakes are way undersized and for any type of hard braking are completely inadequate in most any type of emergency stopping situation. anyone with an sn95 gt can attest to that. the cobra brakes are affordable, bolt right on, have oem quality, and more important than anything, give the car usable stopping power. im sure the brembo's are great, but for the average gt owner, the cobra brake upgrade is more than enough for half the price.

on a side note, i picked mine up from http://www.johnbleakleyford.com for $440 with a new master cylinder.

and good luck getting away with 17in rims with the Cobra R brakes. Just saying it's $900 and you'r good to go is a little misleading. you're looking at $2000 + for those brakes and a new set of 18s and tires

the pbr brake upgrades total cost $50 for calipers,$15 for caliper paint,$25 brake pads,$12 banjo bolts,$10 for brake fluid changed fluid in entire system.total cost $112....if you go to e-bay and run a search for mustang calipers they have a few there for a good price...

Makes sense to me...I did a PBR upgrade, which helped a little, but for $100 including rotor, couldnt go wrong...especially since I polished them and it adds a new look.
