Installed my Cobra brakes

[ES Stangin]

Well my rotors and stainless lines finally arrived from StangSuspension.com, so I decided to install my brakes. I dont have pics of them with the wheels on yet, but will get them once it warms up. It should have went easily, but I didnt know that the passenger and drivers side lines were different and thought they had sent me the wrong lines... Im just glad I realized they hadnt..

BimmerTech: I am using the stock Cobra pads for now. Eventually I am going to get a set of Carbotech pads.

95mustang_gt: Right now I am using the stock tri-bars. Im pretty far away from stangsuspension so shipping took about a week.

As for the lines, I think you need to get a set of Cobra specific lines. I used the stainless lines from stangsuspension..

they are probably the same pads that came loaded in my calipers. if they are they are FRPP "black" pads and they are pretty good cold, but fade real fast and smoke at anything over 100mph.

never heard of carbotech--do you know anyone running them?

Looks like I will be picking up another set of pads for autocross sooner than I expected..

That is one of the threads I read on the Carbotechs..

Another option I was thinking about was the PF-Z Rated pads from AutoZone..
