Debating Brake Kits

[joshjwc9]

Ok, I've recently done the rest of my driveline; clutch gears trac lock etc...

But in looking at all of the places selling the 13 inch Cobra upgrade, and looking at the 10th anny calipers, Cobra calipers, Bullitt Calipers and the Mach 1's is there any internal difference to the caliper itself?

I have seen the Mach 1's for around $360 including SS lines, and the 10th anniversary ones for $450 and up, I would much rather have the Mach 1 kit because of the fact that the brakes will fill the gap in between the spokes on my Bullitts in the front and sustain the same performance as the "fancy & showy" red or black cobra ones...

I have seen the cheapest Mach 1 kits at $360 on the Corral and at buyfordracing.com, are both dealers/websites reputable?

Same exact brakes. Look the same when painted too: http://forums.stangnet.com/763948-read-new-signature-vids-pics-too.html

As far as the calipers, they are all the same internally. Bullitt/mach/cobra- so why pay an extra 50 to 75 bucks for the same performance?

also I think i can give you the most updated first hand experience with buyfordracing.com, I ordered a mach 1 front brake kit(Buy Ford Racing Parts!), with the rear kit to run the bigger rotors also(Buy Ford Racing Parts!). I placed my order with them on the 28th at about 11:00pm. I recieved an email on the 29th at 7:00 ish in the morning saying that my order has been shipped. I recieved my order today and i can tell you everything is there and looks fantastic!!! I give these guys a deff 2 thumbs up. I know there are threads about them being bad but those are pretty old and I think they really have changed. I would order from them in a heart beat if i ever need too.

They would have charged me $72 to ship mach 1 brake kit to me though. So i went a cheaper route by piecing it together.

yea that is true. They only charged me about 35 bucks for my order. Thats the only reason I went with them. Plus I didnt want to have to piece it all together because......well im lazy lol.
