upgrading to cobra brakes

[04DarkShadowGT]

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?

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.

is it hard to chabe banjo bolts? Or should I just get the darn steel braided line? How much are they anyway?

 

[Mustang5L5]

Banjo bolts are easy to do.

Lines are maybe $80 for the fronts i beleive? Not sure

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.

Well, my car gets may be 3000 miles every year, if that. This past year, I put total of 2500miles... So rotor will last loong time for me..
