Cobra brake upgrade

[BSTANGGED]

Hey guys, quick question I own a 96 gt. I want to upgrade my brakes in the front at least. I was told that the drilled slotted are a waste of money because the crack easy. So a gentleman gave me the idea to upgrade to the Cobra braking system. So what I want to know is what all do I need to get, rotors, caliper and pads.... Or will i need to replace the whole system of lines, rotors, calipers, pads, and pistons? I have found the rotors, pads, lines and calipers, but there was a cheaper set with just the 13" rotors and calipers and pads. What should I be looking for and any good sites?

I've got the entire Cobra upgrade, which I got off of Ebay... All it really is for the Fronts are the entire Caliper assy (which has the longer bracket ears to go on your OEM Steering knuckle), pads and rotors. I think mine came w/ some SS Lines, which I found out that the Flare nuts are different sizes on each side..

Anyway, the rears come w/ OEM Calipers (you can use your stock ones, since they're the same), new Backing plates, new anti-moan brackets, new dust covers and SS Lines.

It wasn't as bad as people say, getting the rears on, since you have to pull the axles..


So to basically answer your question, if you can buy a Kit for the fronts, all it will be are Calipers, pads and rotors, SS Lines if you're lucky..

ok man yea thats the ones I saw today. Thanks so much, got to stop this car man. The stock brakes aren't good enough. Especially since I bought my 18" chrome Saleen rims. Thanks again though.

Cheapest prices around right here

I just paid $310 + $30 shipping for a Mach 1 front kit. I plan on painting the calipers red myself. Not a bad deal with SS lines.

The rear kit is $175, and you can reuse your stock rear calipers with some slight mods. Downside is you need to pull the axles but it's not that tough to do.

+1

you wont find a better kit for the price they have there and they have a couple of different options between the mach bullitt and cobra kits which are all 13" 2 piston calipers and come with SS lines.

great site

Am I correct in assuming these kits do NOT come with pads?

+2 for buyfordracing. They are the cheapest I have seen. And if you get the kit, they do come with pads.

the buyfordracing.com kit does come loaded with pads

 

[gibson89LX]

Are they NOS pads or do they come with some sort of aftermarket?

 

[urban96]

Buyfordracing.com rocks. They have the best prices. If I decided to keep mine for a while, its getting mach's or bullitts.
