GT-500 14" brakes on a Fox w/Sn95 spindles

I can't see changing from my 13" Cobra brakes. It would be cool to have 14" rotors, but not for the cash it would cost me to change things. Besides, how much difference would they make? For someone who is going to upgrade their brakes from stock though, it is something to consider for sure.

Yea, I haver seen where a 13" front set costs about 1800 but jumps to about 3400 for the 14"
luckly I got my on clearence 14" roush f/b FTW only 1500 too

maybe i missed this somehow 05+ rotors fit sn95 spindles? if so I know where to look when mine need replacing

There would eventually come a point where the speed that your car is capable of doesn't justify either the cost or the extra rotating mass of the brakes and 18s. I would think that even for all but the most extreme open track cars a 13'' rotor with good pads is plenty unless the car weighs 4000lbs. Of course, if you've done a lot of weight reduction to your car, that extra rotating mass isn't a big deal. Then again who knows, the new ZR1 Vette has 15'' rotors so what do i know.

Just finished that article in 5.0 last night. pretty cool. I thought the rim/tire backspacing gauge was really cool.

Anyway, those are some MAMMOTH brakes. That'd be nice, but I can't see justyfying all kinds of mods like that when you can do the 13" Cobra brakes for cheaper and by just bolting stuff on. Interesting Idea on the adapter bracket. Easier than modding the hell out of the spindle like the magazine article.

Where's my 13" REAR brakes is what I want to know. I'm just running dinky GT discs out back and they look small in my 17" wheels.

Yeah, if it were vented, that would be the deal!
