What other ford vehicles uses the same pbr twin calipers that they sell as cobra/bullit/mach1? I wonder if anyone has cross referenced this? Might be cheaper to buy them that way instead of asking for mustang calipers and getting screwed on the price!

corvettes with the high performance braking package come with the same pbr calipers. If you buy the cobra specific brakes from ford racing there are two different threads for the banjo bolts. one is a course thread that m-2321-a banjo bolt kit will cover, and a finer thread that a licoln banjo bolt part number covers

The Cobra brakes are pretty cheap compared to what they were a couple years ago. Even Baer sells the same brake kit for $799. So if you can get it for $349 I think that's pretty cheap. It's a lot of brakes for the money. I think some Explorers used the same brakes too but I'm not sure of that.

all 99+ mustangs (even the v6's had them) have a twin piston PBR caliper. I got mine off a bud who put on a Baer kit on his 00GT. Got his stock stuff (rotor, lines, caliper) for $100.

Don't expect similar braking between the 99+ GT brakes and the cobra brakes. The cobras have better clamping and much more resistant to fade. The 99+ GT brakes retain the 10.87" rotor while the cobra uses 13.0" rotors.

the rotor is larger and is were the leverage and diff. is gained. The 99+ gt and v6 calipers have larger pistons (if I remember correct) and those in conjunction with the cobra rotor (also who would do the swap and not go with some good pads?) you should have the best of both worlds with better stoping power. To use the cobra rotor though you will have to get a bracket to use the 99+ gt/v6 caliper.

Explain more of this, I made a few posts on corral about wanting to ru na 13" rotor with my PBRs I just bought at a swap meet($60) and they said it cant be done.

You can't run the 99+ GT PBR calipers with 13" rotors, it can't be done. The rotor on the cobra is thicker and it wouldn't fit.

Ahh, didnt know that. Makes sense, but is there a rotor that is 13in and thinner? like a baer, older cobra (pre 99), bullit (dont remember if they had the 13 or not dont think so). power slot, ssbc, ect.
