soryr about the jar thing Jazzer...I was posting on my phone and autocorrect decided to step in lol So if I do the cobras with a decent set of pads (say hawks? what do you suggest?) and braided lines with upgraded fluid it should stop like a champ (pending good tires/conditions)?

Jazzer can haz reps for being called Jar

Your car will still stop in pretty much the same way, but will require less pedal pressure and they will hold up VASTLY better, if/when they get hot. Below, is the last paragraph from Brakes Upgrade thead and a story of OEM brakes and trying to slow down from 100+ MPH

[exerpt from Brakes Upgrade ~ Speeding up slowing down]

Good braking technique: When I was first starting to drive, my father told me a few things about sitting behind the wheel. The first was to aways keep an eye WAY out and up front of me to keep up on changing conditions. Another, was to allow the brakes to cool between uses. To this day, I have never stomped on the brakes and held such pressure for more than a couple seconds (an exception or two!). If I STILL needed to slow down, I would repeat this process ONLY after having completely released them for as long a time as I could get a way with before needing them again. I have only one time, really felt the extent of extreme brake fade. This was about 10 years ago and was in my '85 GT heading down the highway on 100% OEM GT brakes. Long open stretch, no cars, no on-ramps and clear skies for several miles. Opened her up for a bit and got to about 120 MPH for a brief time before deciding to slow down. Well... I was not used to going soo fast, so I put the brakes on and did not slow down the amount I had anticipated, so, after letting them cool a bit, I applied them again. To my complete shock.... there was almost ZERO brakes left The pedal just went WAY down, but was as if I was pushing in the clutch. What I hadn't realized is that the brakes had gotten VERY hot in only a few seconds, due to the very high speed in which I was moving. My instincts kicked in and placed MUCH less pressure on the pedal and allowed some additional cooling between braking to slow down and not have any issues beyond serious fear for a few moments. Of course, this took a MUCH greater distance in which to reduce my speed than I had originally anticipated. Now... had there been another car entering the road or something for which I HAD to stop faster, I would not have been able to and might not be here today and writing the post My car today would NOT have such an issue in the identical circumstance, as I have brakes that will work WELL beyond what Ford had intended and just may save my life one day

Now, the SN95 brake system was improved over that of the Fox Body that I was driving, but the SN95 can experience this scenario in a similar circumstance.
