Brakes

[NIN]

Who makes decent brakes for a good price. The stockers are wearing out and they don't slow my tank down very well. Need something better.

A cobra upgrade brake kit is very nice and can be snagged for around $400.

I have a set of brand new front PBR Calipers, Pads, and Rotors for sale. They are a nice step up from the 94 - 98s and they weigh alot less. Email me if interested. [email protected]

I swapped on Cobra brakes and wow, what a difference compared to the stockers. I got them for $399 from www.mustangparts.com and I added stainless steel lines for $70 or so. I really cant think of a better package for $399. I know Baer sells the same package for over $700, but has their name on it(not bashing them, they make some awesome products).

I got the Bullitt kit from PPI. Very nice.

Define, "decent price." More than likely, the Cobra or Bullitt brake upgrade is the way to go for you. Unless, you want serious brakes and then we can get into the decently priced $1800-$2000 kits (or even $5500-$6000).

At the moment I just want the feeling like my car can stop at highway speeds. I want a sure feeling. the stocker feel overworked at anything over 60 mph. God forbid if you want to go road racing.

Yeah, I don't need something That costs as much as a turbo kit. My car does not go that fast. Just need something that makes if feel like a sports car not a taurus.

Thanks,
Tom

I got the 99+ dual piston calipers for my brake upgrade. Really great deal. I just wished I could have done some distance figures to see if there was a major difference.
They do feel lots better though.

Pick up a Cobra 13" kit from MPS.

The only dissavantage i see to switching to 13" rotors is that your spare won't work on them. you would have to get a 17" cobra spare.

Which would suck for me cause i have two spares i use for skinnies...

 

[EpiKk3]

never thought about the spare before.. but 94gtstang made a good point - anyone have any numbers .. cobra vs stock etc..

 

[Mrgreen94gt]

The only dissavantage i see to switching to 13" rotors is that your spare won't work on them. you would have to get a 17" cobra spare.

If you must, you can transfer the back wheel to the front and put the spare on the back, in an emergency situation.

Also, you can fit a 15" wheel on the front with a 1" spacer.

If you have the $$ now, the agree....get some Cobra Brakes.

If your brakes really suck and you dont have the $$ now, then you could get some used PBR's .

I got a set with 5k miles last year...rotors, pads, calibers, etc. For $100. I threw some SS lines for a few extra $$, and I was good to go, with a small, but noticeable difference in feel.

Will those cobras fit under stock 16'' rims?

 

[94GTStang]

No. Must have 17's or bigger
