Cobra brakes with 15" pro stars

[Musturd]

Hey guys! I want to run 15" pro stars or draglites for the track on my 94 with cobra front and rear brakes. I'm running a upr tubular k member with coilovers all around. Would 1" shorter a arms be better? I have stock length ones now. I run staggered foose speedsters daily. But the car is going to see the track alot this year.

last i check you have to run at least a 17inch rim in the front for cobra brakes to fit

YeA I've read that too before but I see guys out here running them on terminators. I think they run a spacer. Just hoping someone on here has done it. So I can figure out offsets and stuff.

yep definitely need spacers.

You can run fox body a-arms and 1" spacers and the wheels will fit flush. But you may run into problems getting the right fit with your street wheels. You can still run sn95 arms and run skinnies, but they will stick out a tad. The best way to go about spacers is to put 3" studs in and knock out the studs in the spacers. Otherwise you'll jave to trim some off the stock styds so it fits flush with the spacer and doesnt protrude into the back of the wheel.

Nice yea i was thinking something like that to. Yea I'll order 1" shorter then stock upr control arms. Now I just need to know the back spacing to clear rear brakes

I haven't gotten to that yet, but I was going to try the spacer on the draglite in the front. The tires will stick out on the front about an inch or so. Look through the magazines and you'll see that some, it's not too bad fo a track look. I have the 15's on the rear and the fit over the brakes just fine. I bought used so I'm not sure of the backspacing.

Hope this helps,
Mika

Ok cool I'll test fit a friends before buying a set id like to run 15x10's in the rear.

I have 15x8x5.5" wheels on the back of my cobra. I had no clearance problems at all, but I ran a 3mm spacer "just incase"

Others have reported that the 15x10x6.5 will fit, but the banjo bolt for the brake line needs to be shaved.

Ok cool . Yea I'm going to order 1" shorter then stock front control arms so they don't poke out a shit load
