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?

Yup, same damn caliper both made by PBR.


You can buy the Bullitt/Cobra/Mach1/etc. Calipers for about $210/pair and then buy whatever rotors you want. I am partial to the baer eradispeed rotors which are about $275 for the front. If you bought those with the Cobra calipers it would be about $485 or so...basically the same thing as the baer kit minus $100-150 or so for the logo.

No kidding. I just checked out prices on calipers at gef racing, and deceraroter from RPMoutlet, and I can set up the system for less then 500bucks!
I think I need new brake hose with caliper right?

No, you won't need new hoses, but it doesn't hurt.

The 94-98 GT's will need to upgrade their brake lines with running cobra disks but Ford decided to use the same line on all 99+ Mustangs. That means the lines on your GT are the same as they would be on a Cobra, so technically you don't have to upgrade. However, you will need new Cobra specific banjo bolts.

Upgrading to stainless is up to you really. On a street car i think you can stay stock.

the cobra r setup will not fit stock bullits. you need konig villians, 98 cobra wheels, or a ford 17x9" wheel or else any 18" wheel.

yes the BAER system is the same as the cobra setup.

i personally went with plain faced rotors because i open track my car and i also want to be able to turn my rotors a few times. with slotted or drilled rotors, they are throwaways. as soon as you do pads, the rotors get tossed.
