Cobra Brake Upgrade ....

[Mrstangerbanger]

How much better are the cobra brakes then the GT brakes?

The GT calipers are bigger but the rotors are smaller so are the cobra brakes worth the money ?

I can buy some for $300 used but in good condition ...

Please anyone that has done this upgrade please tell me what you think...

I have Google it and there are mixed reviews like crazy....

I had the 99 and up GT brakes on mine for a while and then when the anniversary cobras came out, I switched to those for the pimpy red calipers just for looks.... but once I got them on and took the car to the track again, I realized how much better the cobra pieces are. The 2 piston gt brakes werent bad, but the cobras are much more responsive and really haul the car down from 80+ mph much more efficiently because of the larger swept area. 300 is a good price these days, if they are in good shape I'd jump on that deal.

There way better over the older single piston Gt brakes you got stangbanger. Night and day difference I did the swap front and rear

Cobra calipers are not smaller, double piston. Way better.

I thought that you could buy them at vatozone or one of the other major stores and do a core-exchange with your gt brakes and they were not supposed to care? Anyone done this?

Scott, thats what I did. I did front calipers, brackets, rotors, pads and lines. I believe all that was a little over 300.

The caliper doesn't grab the entire rotor, so the centers of them rust. I waited till it rusted over then painted the rusted area black. Looks really nice.

my rotors are coated from the manufacturer and have no rust at all, has a silver galvanized look now where the pads dont touch

cobra brakes are one of the best bang for the buck upgrades on a mustang.
