fairlane_68 · November 4th, 2008, 04:18 PM

Rotors?

Lefty · November 4th, 2008, 05:55 PM

Yeah rotors??? you got the brackets too?

zigbigadoru · November 4th, 2008, 08:54 PM

nah gotta buy the rotors and bracket. but come on $400 for full set of calipers is cheap as SHIT. generally just the front calipers are like $400. buying my rotors off rock auto, and dunno where im getting the bracket.

zigbigadoru · November 4th, 2008, 10:01 PM

what else is need for the swap? i recall them needing stainless steel brakes lines?

97S281 · November 5th, 2008, 05:42 PM

you don't NEED them( the ss lines), you just WANT them. You also need a 17" or larger wheel. But I think those in your pic are 17's no?

97S281 · November 5th, 2008, 05:43 PM

btw, what did you ever decide on for your springs?

Patrick@LCR · November 5th, 2008, 05:48 PM

well, you won't need new stainless lines, but there's a good chance that you will need new lines.

Do you know what model Cobra calipers those are? What color are they?

The fine thread banjo bolts are for Black Cobra, Bullitt, and 99-03GT stock calipers.

The coarse thread banjo bolts are for Mach 1 or 10th Anniversary Cobras, 94-98GT, 03-04GT, and 03-04 Cobra stock calipers.

97GT4.6 · November 5th, 2008, 05:50 PM

yeah those stock rims are 17's. How much is the braking overall improved?

Patrick@LCR · November 5th, 2008, 06:03 PM

I can't give you raw numbers, but I can say significantly.

Stock GT brakes are 10.65" (or 10.8", I can't remember), but you're going to 13" and will notice the car stopping much quicker, especially when you go full on.

Lefty · November 5th, 2008, 09:47 PM

The braking is well over stock GT's. remember not only do you have a bigger rotor but two pisons instead of one in the fronts

HMUSN · November 5th, 2008, 09:49 PM

did you buy them yet? ( I would pass)

I got the rotor's ,pads, lines, calipers, AND brackets for $400.00

zigbigadoru · November 5th, 2008, 10:03 PM

from where?

zigbigadoru · November 5th, 2008, 10:04 PM

i think im gunna go with eibach pro-kit so i dont have to get cc plates and the longtubes wont really scrape *hopefully*

HMUSN · November 5th, 2008, 10:05 PM

a friend.

Trick Tuners.

He is a vendor here..

(this is a side thing though. He doesn't sell brakes)

zigbigadoru · November 5th, 2008, 10:07 PM

ok well then it is kinda irrelevant to me then right?

HMUSN · November 5th, 2008, 10:08 PM

no not really.

search you local forums is kinda the drift I am trying to pass.

That's 2 much for just a set of calipers man.
