I got a front and rear 2004 40th Anniversary Cobra brake kit from Performance Parts Inc. Each kit had everything possible. Each kit was just under $400. For like $15, I upgraded to stainless steel lines. The stock GT master cylinder was perfect with this setup giving me a firmer pedal, but not too firm.

The stopping ability of my car now is unreal compared to the stock crap stuff. Ford should have made these brakes standard a long long time ago. I can truly say my car is "safe" now that I can stop confidently. Of course, a decent suspension will enhance braking even further.

Get both a front and rear "kit" and be done with it. Best mod I've done so far and probably ever.
 
Thank you for that response Car Nut. I desperately need better brakes and have been putting it off. That's the main reason I don't drive my car alot anymore. My F-250 can stop in half the distance as my car, lol. And yes, they're good pads & rotors. I never could really get anyone (in the past) to describe "how much" of a difference the Cobra brakes are. That's what I was looking for.
 
hard decelleration in my dad's 04 cobra from 60-0= the "seatbelt cutting into your chest, brain sloshing to the front of your skull, momentary blackout" kind of braking performance every mustang should have! :nice:
hard decelleration in my 95 with stock brakes= "dang, i wish i had cobra brakes..."

the difference is night and day. for lack of any other way to say it, the stock sn95 GT brakes are just plain inadequate.

Yeah, I was riding in my friends cobra and he was coming up on somethin quick and I didnt think he would be able to stop in time becuase I know how long it takes me to get my car to stop, his stopped in like half the time.
