upgrading to cobra brakes

03 Black GT · Jan 29, 2006

where did yall who have done this buy the upgraded brakes and rotors?

squares98 · Jan 29, 2006

I bought mine through my tuner. who bought them from Baer. I think Gene Evans in GA has the cobra kit cheap. Any ford racing ford dealer has them, I dont like some of the rotors that come with the cheaper kits

I'm actually about to upgrade my front brakes to the 13" Cobra ones too. I keep trying to remember where i saw the kit for 399.99 shipped online

Bah! You beat me to it. Also, you get 5% off with the "stangnet" coupon code so it comes out to $379.95 .Thats about as cheap as you'll find it

bakos24 · Jan 29, 2006

Thats right, I forgot about the 5% discount. that makes it an even better deal. It will be hard to find a place cheaper.

i got my stuff from www.stangsuspension.com they got back to me fast on pre-sale questions, and everything arrived as expected.

and so far, their zinc washed rotors are holding up great.

Ya i wish mine was only 379.95 but since im going with the red calipers its about $429.49

Would anyone happen to know if the install can be done in a driveway with simple tools?

Yes, very easily. All it requires is unbolting 2 bolts, sliding the old caliper and rotor off. Unhooking the brake line. Then slide on the new rotor and caliper, bolt it down. Both on the brake line and then bleed the brakes. Should take 1-2 hours at most.

i got my whole brake setup from buyfordracing.com. they had the cheapest cobra R brakes i could find.

03 Black GT · Jan 29, 2006

should i upgrade both front and rear or just front?

bdcardinal · Jan 29, 2006

diff people will give you diff answers. i upgraded the rears too because i planned on road racing. also the bigger rears look a lot better. heres a pic of my setups.

For the price i would do both. The rear kit is $170 from summit and is everything you need and you must reuse your GT calipers.

The larger vented rotor offers better fade resistance and looks better behind open wheels

bdcardinal · Jan 29, 2006

you can also buy cobra rear calipers. thats what i did, and it saved a ton of time on the install.

03 Black GT · Jan 29, 2006

so is there anywhere i can buy front and rear brakes, rotors, and cobra calipers all in one bang. or do i have to buy front separately from rear

Mustang Tuning and Blue Oval Industries have that whole kit

mity2 · Jan 30, 2006

off topic little, but I'm thinking about doing this as well, but i was thinking of Baer craw system(here) for $634.
Someone from LT-1 forum told me that these baer clow caliper is identical damn unit as Cobra/mach1/bullitte calipers. Is that true???? Anyone know?

Maza4ever14 · Jan 30, 2006

bdcardinal, would that brake set up fit on my stock bullits? and which one would be better, the plain, cross drilled, or slotted rotters?

03 Black GT · Jan 30, 2006

i also wondered about the different rotors. I really like the look of cross drilled rotors though
