Weird brake setup

[jarendt31]

So I noticed the front rotors on my Cobra clone had some very bad heat spots on them and were most likely causing my bad imbalance issues I was getting when driving. Well after pulling the wheels and getting a better look at the front brakes, the rotors were absolutely trashed and it appeared that the calipers were frozen. Well after pulling the Calipers off I noticed they were dual piston calipers and had the SVT markings on them. It appears the previous owner put the Cobra front calipers and brackets and pads on the car while leaving the GT rotors on the car. Just thought I'd share with you all as it was a perplexing problem and just another example of someone with more ambition than sense at work.

What an idiot, still there's plenty of them around as you found out the hard way. :sad:

Yeah I was pretty amazed at the crap work I've found, the IAT sensor left just dangling instead of being put into the CAI. It's amazing some of the things people do. It'll be a terrific car once I've got it all sorted out, just going to take some time it seems.
