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.

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.bimmertech said::Word:
i have a cobra and i can say this: just skip the cobra brake "upgrade" and go straight for the brembos.
$920 at summit

on a side note, i picked mine up from http://www.johnbleakleyford.com for $440 with a new master cylinder.
here are some more pics..bill302 said: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.Green 94 5.0 said: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.
