Just finished my Cobra booster install to compliment the 93 Cobra MC, 03-04 Cobra brakes f&r with ss lines and I lost a few fillings yesterday during testing. Man this thing stops on a dime then asks for change!!! I'm always driving my friends 04 Mineral grey Cobra and his brakes are spectacular in stock form so I knew how mine should perform. My car's braking was definitely sub par. It feels on point now and glad I made the change. Pic for tits!
Cool, I will keep that in mind. What did you do with the wire harness in the engine bay? Just shove it somewhere else?
Which harness are you referring to?
(sorry it's been some time since Ive done this)
Trust me no big quads here.I'd rank the MC more important than the booster. Some guys have big quad and can modulate the brakes well with the smaller boosters, but an MC bore reduction of 1/16" makes a huge difference in pedal feel.
Lincoln 73MM front calipers, 1 1/16" 94 Mustang MC, stock booster and Turbo Coupe rear disks makes a great no fuss combination. The brakes are not overly sensitive and have good pedal feel and modulation. That's what I had on my previous 89 GT Mustang before it got totaled by a hit and run driver.Trust me no big quads here.
Honestly, I felt no change in feel going from stock brakes to cobra brakes all the way around with cobra mc only. Then still no real change going from cobra mc to a hydroboost.
The only time the brakes ever worried me was when I tried the Lincoln calipers up front with no changes to the system.
I'd be curious as to if people could run the hydroboost off the fox power steering pump. I would think the answer would be yes. My guess would be you would have to do some minor hose modding.
I'd try the cobra MC first. I did my booster last year and i'm not that young or limber. It was a major PITA laying upside down under the dash to get that damn upper left bolt and the rod off the pedal.
I thought this was going to be a pain but using a deep well 9/16" socket and a swivel, it wasn't too bad. I guess being 5'10" 155 lbs doesn't hurt either lol.
I thought since my car was a '93 with the different strut towers I could get away with not bashing them in. I was way wrong. Three things that I had to do to get the thing in there.
1. Bash the strut tower, just when you think it's enough, it's not lol.
2. Trim about 1/4" off the mounting studs
3. Clean up the firewall holes. I noticed the holes in the firewall and the holes for the pedal assembly weren't lined up perfectly. So I used a drift punch to tweak it and then used a 3/8" drill bit to clean it up a bit.
I also noticed my brake light was stuck on. Turns out I didn't line the switch up perfectly with the flat spot on the booster push rod.
