Cobra brakes question...

[KingDiamond]

I want to get Cobra front brakes for my GT. Is it a bolt-on deal or is does it involve trimming the spindle or something like that?

It is a bolt on only ordeal, no cutting or trimming. It is pretty easy actually. Look into stainless steel brake lines while you're at it.

you shouldnt need to grind the spindle because the bracket holds the caliper further away. reason it is needed on the 99+ v6/gt brakes is because the caliper is at the same height as the 94-98 gt/v6

OK, I'm buying the whole thing with SS lines and banjo bolts as a kit.

Are cobra rear brakes any bigger than the stock GT's?

Also, is it cheaper to buy a kit, or get the brackets and calipers through Ford and get aftermarket discs and lines?

speed concepts sells the whole cobra front brake kit for $400

Thats alot cheaper than the SSBC kit, they want 775.00. I'll have to look into that kit for sure. Thanks.

yeah the cobra kit is 400 and comes with the lines you need

you have your choice of cobra or bullit calipers

you need 17s

www.discbrakesrus.com sells the basic kit for about $400 too. They also have a lot of options as far as powdercoating in a few different colors, slotted/drilled rotors, etc.
