Cobra/Bullit/Mach1- caliper upgrade?

[eddienyr]

I have seen the kits that sell the calipers, rotors, hoses. If I buy the calipers by them selves do I need to buy any brackets to attach them to my car or do they just bolt on?

 

[urban96]

they just bolt on

PPI sells the complete kit for $399.

I may be wrong since my car obviously came stock with Cobra brakes, but wouldn't the calipers need an adapter bracket to move the caliper out enough since the rotors are increased to 13" front?

Well if you buy the calipers make sure they come with the mounting bracket, which is the part that surrounds the caliper. Otherwise they just bolt on. The rear ones need special brackets though.

The caliper bracket is the special bracket that moves the caliper out another 2".

All you really need to put Cobra brakes on a 94-98 car is the rotors, complete calipers with pads and a set of brake lines. (94-98 lines won't bolt up)

94SC50 - Can you point me to the PPI website? I did a search and found www.mustangparts.com but it doesn't seem to be working, it just directs me to one of those ad search engines.

Same here..... I'd like to know their website.

 

[eddienyr]

Thanks for the info.

Just a FYI- I plan on ordering a rear brake upgrade kit that will allow me to use the stock rear caliper on my GT with a 13" cobra rotor in the rear. So all around 13's Steeda sells a kit for 299. Baer sells one for 245. Brothers sells the baer for 245. and D and D motorsports sells the baer for 229.

Will they fit under the stock 16's, cuz thats what I use for the track.

 

[eddienyr]

Sorry no they will not.

 

[Joe 5.0]

I figured, I guess I will just have to make due with stock + better pads/rotors/ss lines. :/

 

[eddienyr]

So some of these kits come with a new master cylinder. Is it really required and whatis the part number and year of car its from?

It's a co. here in VA that supplies our local Stang club. I have no clue what happend to them ovewr the winter. I'll try to find out more info.
www.speedconcepts.net would be my second choice. They have some good prices on the brakes and I get a lot of stuff from them.

So is there any decent & affordable kits that will fit under the stock 16's? How about the 99+ PBR's, will they fit? I know they are 2 piston versus our 1, and have a slightly larger rotor.

THEY ARE BACKORDERED!

I've been waiting for a month and a half for the whole kit to show up.

I have seen a pbr dual piston caliper upgrade for the gt. Basically you change your single for a dual piston that works on the stock rotor.

u need a cobra master cilynder and matching brake lines for it, without it you pedal is going to feel "funny" other than that, just make sure you order the banjo bolt and washer, its like 10 bucks with buyfordracing.com but you will need it and nobody else has em not even ford!!

 

[eddienyr]

how much ($) for the cobra master cylinder? Who has them?

 

[juiced_94gt]

i paid 40 bucks from from autozone, it was a rebuilt but it worked, also your going to need the brake lines for the master cilynder because the fittings are the same ecxept they are switched around, i had custom ss braided lined made for another 30 bucks plus they look really good. I dont know how much the ford ones are i didnt even check
