I’m a little hesitant beating my shock tower to get that booster to fit. Would the 1993 cobra booster be sufficient?

Is the cobra booster the same as the 94/95 booster?

It's virtually the same other than 1 stud being located slightly differently and the threat pitch being metric rather than SAE.


You work fast. One min we are making a suggestion and the next min you are done with it and moving on.

important question to ask here is what do you have for brakes out back?

ATS brembos with rear drums would be heavily Front biased and may even be dangerous. I would recommend a standard SN95 cobra rear disk conversion with 43mm Taurus calipers with the ATS brembos if you go that route.

This is what I went with on my car, I don't have enough miles on it since doing it (and won't for another year or two) to say exactly how much better it is if at all, but it does look way better and works great.

Thanks! I spent a lot of time welding, grinding, and learning how to paint. Fun project, and would suggest going down that road if you have the time.

That looks like you did this without using Scott Rod panels? Looks awesome!

Upgraded the the 43mm calipers, brembo fronts, 94-95 brake booster, 94-95 master cylinder. The car now has fantastic brakes!

Side note: I kept adjusting the e-brake cable tighter and tighter which really made the e-brake worse or not functional at all. I found that the tension on the cable / caliper should just be under load, but still touching the stopper on the caliper. After putting miles on the car the e-brake is working pretty well now. Won’t lock the wheels up but will hold on an incline.

I didn’t not use Scott rod panels as They we’re not available at the time. I used a coors light box for my template to get the angles right.
