Cobra brake upgrade

[95-stang]

I'm not too happy with the PBR calipers i got for my car, and i dont want to skimp on the brakes.
Best alternative for the money seems to be the M-2300-Q which seems to about $539 on average.
Has any one seen it at a better price, plus i need shipping to the UK, which a lot of places will not do. ???

I bought all my brake stuff thru our sponsor stangsuspension, he has great prices, I think it was about $450 for 10th anny red calipers, SS lines, Slotted/Drilled Rotors. Thats front only. I find www.stangsuspension.com has the cheapest prices. Use cupon code "SN95DISC" for a discount.

Do you reckon the Red calipers and discs are better than the full Cobra upgrade package which includes lines, master cylinder, rotors etc?
I dont want to spend more than is needed, but dont want to skimp on stuff either.
I sent them an e-mail btw.

IMHO it's best to make your own package basically. This way you can peice together exactly what you want.

On my sixer I had mach calipers, power slot rotors, ss lines in the front and a baer 13" kit in the rear, as well as some new pads of course all the way around. After swapping all that out I did a complete brake fluid flush and put in some nice "exceeds dot 3 & 4" brake fluid" I was very, very, pleased with the entire setup.

So that would be my whole experience with brake upgrades, and because of that I would say to keep all ur stuff like hard lines, master cylinder, etc. unless any of it is just damaged or something.

gl with everything :drunk:

I e -mailed him via his site, replied quickly, he asked what i wanted, told him, asked for a price inc shipping, that was about a week ago.
No wonder i keep going back to Summit.
Unless anyone knows anywhere else that might ship to the UK ?

not trying to take business away from sponsors but if you are having problems finding what ya want check out www.buyfordracing.com. They ship anywhere i believe and prices are good(i dont think anyone has them beat on the brake setup)

Thanks, well i like to try sponsors first, but some firms are a bit shy about shipping overseas.
I will try Ford Racing.

Well i wasnt happy with the PBR's after i cleaned them up, terrible condition for just 4 years old.
I ordered a Cobra upgrade kit from CJ Pony Parts, $500 plus shipping, then there are the robbing thieves at
customs who really spoil it all by adding tax to it.

I bought my kit through them. (Cobra calipers, rotors and s.s. lines) Great price at $359 shipped but the customer service guy was a dick.

i freakin hate that, when they offer a good product, and they ship it out fast, then the customer service sucks ass.

so how difficult was the cobra brake install on your guys 94/95's? I had a complete cobra setup on my 98 and 13" rotors in the rear, but it's my understanding that you have to swap the master cyclinder and do a some work on the hardlines when upgrading the 95's to cobra brakes...

 

[95-stang]

It seems GT and Cobra master cylinders have different fittings, so they are not mixed up during prodution line fitting.
You will need a brake flaring tool if you go with the Cobra master when you alter the brake pipe unions.
However i have heard that you can run with the GT master, its just a different feel to the pedal.
I'm sure someone here has tried it.

 

[Suspect]

i run my stock one and its fine. pedal feel is a lil stiffer, but to me feels better.

I would actually prefer a stiffer brake pedal... I didn't have to mess with the master cyl at all on my 98. Couldn't I just swap the 98's master cylinder with the 95's or would that not be any different?

 

[Pennywise2]

I would go with the Cobra brake kit.
I seen some good deals on brake kits here.
