T Are the GT front calipers PBR Cobra equivalents? I don't remember if they ever became standard on the GT or if that was only on the Bullit and Mach1.
No, they are the stock 2 piston calipers that came off the 99-04 gt and V6 cars( I think that is correct?They are different 2-piston calipers. PBR just happened to make both, but they are not interchangible
is the 87-93 booster an upgrade from the stock 83 booster?Depends.....
WIth the rear drums you might be ok using a 87-93 booster. If you had rear disks i'd say go with the 93 cobra booster. Some guys like a good calf workout so they don't like the cobra booster.
The car looks pretty clean! Looking forwarding to seeing your progress.
Thanks.. Lots of help on this site.......
is the 87-93 booster an upgrade from the stock 83 booster?
EDIT this one.... I looked up pictures at Rock auto and it looks like my stock is what they are calling the 3 1/2" and the 87-93 would be called the 6 1/2"?
The 6 1/2 " looks alot like the cobra booster? Is there a big difference between it and the cobra booster???
Would like to stay away from dicking with my brake lines........ Looks like with the 87-93 6 1/2" and the cobra booster I would have to reroute my brake lines?
Do i have this correct??
Dash is coming out also, so it would be easier now...I ran a 93 cobra mc and stock booster for years.
PBR 2 piston fronts, 94 cobra rears.
Personally it never bothered me.
I don't have strong legs either.
With that said, you have no engine in the car, looks like you may need a booster anyway, so in your case, i would probably do it.
He has a 9" rear end with drum brakesI'm going with yes..you do need it. I had a 93 coupe (not the one I have now) and had 4 wheel discs from a 95 GT, cobra mc and stock 93 booster. I was like so many and thought "yeah, these brakes feel fine...no need to change boosters". I was taking my daughter to school and we were on the freeway. I came around a turn on the freeway at about 60 MPH and traffic was just dead stopped! I hit the brakes...HARD and it felt like I was pushing down on a ROCK...and we were NOT stopping. I got both feet on the pedal and pushed as hard as I could...we finally stopped about 2 inches from the back of a bus. After that, NEVER again with a stock booster. You do what you want, I personally would never do a 4 wheel disc again without a 93 cobra booster. Just my personal experience.
Isn't your problem a wrong sized master cylinder? Different bore sizes make a huge difference in pedal feelI'm going with yes..you do need it.
