Can't seem to find the correct pads for the calipers I have. They are supposed to be for a 2003 Cobra. PBR Castings part #K247-047C
2 Different sets of pads 2 different brands and neither Brands fit! The Spring clips are spaced too wide apart and they don't fit inside the pistons.
One set are BrakeBest #MKD412
Other set are Hawk HPS#D412

Those are not 2003 Cobra calipers.

Those are 99-04 GT/V6 calipers for use with a 10.8" rotor. Also made by PBR, but not interchangeable with the Cobra spec brakes. This is a pin guided caliper, which means the pad is seated into the abutment and the caliper is mounted to the bracket by two pins.

These are Cobra brakes. Completely different caliper design which is why those pads aren't fitting the GT brakes you have. These are pad guided calipers. Which means the caliper clips onto the pads and then the pads are secured to the abutment.

SOB!! So my pads are correct for what I'm building but LMR sent me the wrong calipers?

What Mike said above, they are 99-04 GT/V6 brakes

WHat part number did you order from LMR?

I don't even see those calipers anywhere on their site for sale.

OK... I appreciate you guys getting back to me so quickly. Just wish you had better news

Would you happen to have part numbers for the SVE ones that I'm needing? Trying to source the parts without paying upwards of $800 just for calipers.

Look hear for front pads for a GT. That should be what you need for those PBR calipers.

Edit:
Not sure that copied right.... here’s a screenshot of some Powerstop pads

Got those PBR ones by mistake it seems... wanting the 03 SVE calipers front and back. I've already gotten the 13in and 11.5 rotors and pads along with new hardlines and proportioning valve.

Rdub6 · Aug 1, 2019

Got it...... thought you were using the PBRs but needed pads. Carry on!

ZeroFoxGiven · Aug 1, 2019

These I believe are what I'm seeking...

yeah that’s it and you can order them right from rock auto without the markup from lmr

Mustang5L5 · Aug 2, 2019

Yes, get the Motorcraft ones from Rockauto. $130 each.Or you could go with a cheaper brand. Paint is cheap if they come unfinished.

Stay away from the overpriced SVE branding. Also....who wants calipers that say SVE?

ZeroFoxGiven · Aug 20, 2019

Ok guys so I finally got my hands on the correct calipers but I have a question! Does it matter which side of the shim faces (sticky side) ...to the pad or the caliper?
