Brakes are on! (pics)

[Nobody]

Well after much intrepidation and going back & forth between having someone else do it and doing it myself, I finally just manned up and did it in my garage!! New brembo Slotted rotors front/rear & new FMS calipers at all four corners. I also got a 5 hose stainless braided kit as well. I didn't even break anything during the job

As a side note, I have attached the Brembo memo on the slot orientation of their rotors. This was included with the rotors. There was a debate on here regarding this. This should clear things up.

Thanks for looking.

Yeah no problem. It's always good to have some factual information when there is conflicting reference.

Sheesh - I'm gonna put 10k miles on them before I go back to the track and try hauling the car down from the north side of 100 mph. I am getting under the car three times a day checking for leaks.

I know the Brembo's go in that direction. I have a different brand and the tech there told me to install it opposite of that. I hope mine are on the correct direction.

I know mine are backwards of them to. And i was told buy the shop that they were backwards. But i have no idea how they suppose to be. Does it make a diff. in the direction there going. thanks jay

The slots are there to vent gasses and dust away so they don't built up. I know the Brembo's go in that direction as for the others I don't know why they would want you to reverse them.

Hey thanks

The calipers were $400 for all four (Summit)
The rotors were $550 (Maximum Motorsports)

I could have gotten a better deal if I wanted to wait but I needed brakes ASAP and these places had their stuff in stock and got them to me in 2 days.

Yeah it's a 1994 Cobra, #4429 built 7/23/94. I replaced the 12 yr old Cobra calipers with new Cobra calipers. I needed to replace the rears and just went and got new fronts as well since I was doing everything else.

I think that most of the guys who do the Cobra upgrade, don't upgrade the MC. I am not sure htough, because my car is a Cobra (hint, hint)
