Check your local craigslist man, there's usually a set of cobra calipers that pop up in my area for a few hundred bucks every month or so

edit: pm fullforce (I think that's his name) he's reasonable on prices and a great dude all around. He has tons of cobras that he's parted out. I am sure he's got a cobra brake swap

 

Are you talking about full set, front and rear - or just the fronts?

 

I think I have a set of fronts that are ugly and need some work, but are a cheap starting point.

 

Yea, are you looking for full-on Cobra braking? Or just front calipers/rotors?

I looked at Rockauto a while back, and they did have some cheap options. But the shipping usually killed the savings.

They used to have this set in Cobra versions but I'm not seeing it anymore... Honestly, this is a decent deal. $380

Those are the GT/V6 brakes, right? Reading the specs on the link, the front rotors are ~11" and the rears are ~10.5 - also the front caliper is a single piston. Even so, you are right, $380 is pretty cheap for all that. I paid almost that much just for new rear calipers.

 

Yea, the older GT/V6 stuff. You can also get the kit 99-04 GT PBR, list is $400 for that one. That is a true upgrade to the older gen brakes, I ran that on a track car for many years. Never let me down.

 

I'm running some rebuild Centric Evo Brembos on my Eclipse LeMons car and they look/work great!

 

Tell us more on this setup.

 

Evo 7-9 Brembos bolt right onto 3G Eclipse with the use of the correct bolts. Not much to it lol, but doesn't do Mustang guys much good...

 

OHHHH, gotcha.

I thought you were running them on a Mustang, sorry.

 

That's what I figured lol...

You should look into these for your front brakes. 13" rotors 2 piston calipers just like the "03" Terminator. I am looking at this for my 96 GT

 

The 94-04 Cobra brake systems are the same IIRC. Less the hydroboost/IRS.

If you left the Rear GT Calipers on, and bought the GT Rear PowerStop Z23 Pads/Rotors Kit, you'd save $202.99 for a total of $492.10.

 

:headbang:I did some research. And found that powerstop makes a complete kit for well under $1000. Check out Jegs.com part # KC1305A I think they have the cheapest and free shipping to boot.

 

The newer Cobra calipers have bigger pistons than the older ones.
