Well, I just wanted to share some info for all of you........I have been doing some research on other forums after reading about a brake problem on racer was having........Draging front brakes........I have been running my car at the track for years now and been gettin inconsistant times and drastic MPH changes through the 1/4.........Well It seems that the stock PBR calipers on the GT tend to drag alot.......I have changed brake pads....rebled my system and lubed everything that could be lubed for the system......only to have my brakes still draging in the front.......One member....GT.....lost .3 tenths with just one front caliper draging in the front......I even tried different rotors twice to no prevail.......at the time I was getting frusterated with it.......so I ended up getting a set of 04 Cobra front calipers, rotors for free and tried them out.........I could not believe how much of a difference it made.......not only did it free it up but my 1/4 times and MPH improved drastically.........With the stock PBR brakes I would spin both tires and they would maybe go around one full rotation......with the Cobras it didn't stop spinning.......My car at the time was running 13.00 consistantly and hitting 12.9's ocasionally at 102-103mph........the very first run after the Cobra brake install it went 12.68@ 105MPH and went from running 8.2's and 8.3's to 8.0's consistantly......and even hit a 12.59@ 105 and 7.99@85 .............The stock brakes were slowing me down by .4 tenths.........I was shocked.......granted my car is heavily bolton vehicle but run 17x9 rims all around with MT DR's out back..............no change in the race weight was made at that time and the runs were at the same track..........the 60fts were almost identicle but noticed a slight inprovement and actually hit high 1.69's now.......I just wanted to share this information will all of you because after reading alot about front brakes dragging it seems that the stock calipers are quite insufficient..........Sorry so long but wanted to explain the result....
