just a quick question about brakes

MuscleInc1320 · Sep 27, 2010

im looking to get cobra front brake on my 94 gt and its cheaper for me to get all the parts separate. so anyways i know that i need to get SS lines, Cobra Master Cylinder, Cobra Pads/Rotors, Cobra Calipers. but do i need to get cobra mounting brackets as well? i think i would sense the calipers and rotors are bigger right?

yup you need the cobra caliper bracket. and the banjo bolts for the ss lines

Alright cool. Thanks for the quick reply

When I got mine they came with brackets. I think I paid $450 for them and then I got the rotors and ss lines.

i've got cobras on mine w/ rubber lines and the regular gt master cylinder. pedal is a little stiff, but it stops fine, no problems.

calipers, brackets, rubber hoses and rotors can be bought used for less than 300 bucks normally

do ss hoses really make take big of a difference for a street car

I would not think so. I would imagine you do not get into those kinds of temps on the street where it becomes really evident that the hose is stretching.

^ that SS looks nice, but is just bling for a street car. You would be able to tell a difference if your rubber hoses are old and stretched, but SS compaired w/ new rubber hose I wouldnt think there'd be any noticable differance.

i changed mine out last night, its not a dramatic night to day difference, but the hydraulics seem to respond faster. less petal effort is required. but like i said its not like i have insane brakes now or anything, its a nice upgrade.
