Need new brakes! Help with what I need??

[SuperStanger101]

I just bought this Mustang and it's in severe need of a performance break system. They get hot pretty quick and don't work worth a damn. It's frightening at times.

I've been looking at Baer, however they have a couple of different models to choose from and I'm pretty much lost.

I'm pushing 475 rwhp, with 17 x 9 Bullit wheels, with a 5 stud conversion. What should I look for in break systems? I only want to go with the fronts at this point. Is there a specific brand/model, rotor size, caliper type, etc, etc... that I should be using?? I was also told about Bremco and willwood brands.

Thanks!

get 94-98 cobra rotors and calipers! cant go wrong with ford cobra parts! not to mention they look killer! i would also look into SS lines and calipers sleeves from maximum motorsports

not to mention cobra brakes would save you a ton of cash! compared to brembo or similar brands

See http://www.svo73mm.cjb.net/ for brake help, especially if you are on a budget.

Sorry for the confusion. It's for a 93 LX with 5 lug conv. Not my 94.

I'm guessing the current 5-lug setup is Lincoln/SVO rotors? Your centercaps probably don't clear on the front unless you did some machining to the hub. Best bet is gonna be to get SN95 spindles (go '94-'95 since you have 17x9's) and '94-'04 Cobra rotors and calipers. You'll also need a bigger master cylinder ('94-'95 GT, '94-'98 V6), 3-2 port conversion kit, and adjustable proportioning valve. The link posted above has a ton of good info, and you need to read it, but this'll get you started.
