Brakes!!!

Codycougar91 · Jun 28, 2009

Well ive been having some problems with my brakes and they are in need of a replacement anyways, so i have a few questions.

First, why would i hear a lout clunk when i slam on my brakes? It seems to only happen under heavy braking, and its a single clunk sorta sound.

Second, i have the 10th anniversary calipers/pads for all four corners, but i need rotors, the mounting brackets, and stainless lines. So my question, where could i find the best deals on shipping? Right now shipping will cost me around 100 dollars, totalling everything i need to be at $464. Thats kinda steep, so i just wanted to throw it out there and see if anyone can point me in the direction of a place with low or free shipping.

yea, i have that clunk sound problem too. lol.

i got worried at first, then i just didnt care much after the first time.

That clunk you hear is probably a bad UCA. It could be a bad u-joint as well. Especially if it's a single clunk.

Either American Muscle or Atomic Performance have free shipping. I'd personally go with Atomic Performance, because their customer service is better than American Muscle. Here is a link, see if they have it, and if they don't, I'm sure they can get it.

Ive though about the u joint, but i replaced those a little while back, so im gonna check out the control arms.

And thanks for the link!

well i ordered everything, and it ended up being $405 for the rear bracket kit, front rotors, and brake lines.

will i need a new master cylinder?

mikey94gt · Jul 2, 2009

Its a good idea, but not neccesary. the big difference is the pedal feel, as the stock Master has a really stiff pedal compared to the Cobra master.

Codycougar91 · Jul 3, 2009

yeah, i just dont have another $100 laying around

mikey94gt · Jul 3, 2009

You can use the stock master cylinder, no worries, the brake pedal is kinda touchy though. The Cobra brakes make a huge difference though, they shoulda put that on ALL the mustangs from 94 and on, not just the Cobra, and brembo 4 piston for the Cobra.

Codycougar91 · Jul 3, 2009

alright cool. yeah the stock GT brakes are so worthless

mikey94gt · Jul 3, 2009

agreed. try doing a track event with them, they hardly stop. There meant for a nice family cruiser, not a performance car. of course, I have a bit more power than stock too, so I definitely over powered the brakes.
