Best Brakes For Cheap?

energiesource · October 13th, 2007, 01:05 PM

The cheapest i saw were the cobra or (mach 1 or bullitt ones), not sure which they came on, but anyway for around $400 USD + shipping, american muscle went up to like 6 something which is stupid, so where else is there to get them from?

B0B · October 13th, 2007, 01:07 PM

i would look into getting them off a wrecked cobra or something.. i agree that its stupid that the price went up $200..

and i dont even know why, i mean if it was for the 'free shipping' purpose, fine, but im in canada and i dont get free shipping anyway, so i get boned, twice, by some ugly dude.
metaphorically speaking of course.

do the cobras have upgraded rear brakes as well?

B0B · October 13th, 2007, 01:48 PM

yup i'm pretty sure the cobras have 13 inch rotors in front and 10.85 in the back.. but dont take my word for it though, i'm not positive on the back.

whtpny · October 13th, 2007, 04:02 PM

if im not mistaken our stock size is 11 up front and 10.5 out back and the cobras have 13 up front and 11 out back

Just go with the front. I put the front Bullitt kit ( red calipers,13" severe duty rotors and hoses)on my car and can tell a big diff. the .5 in the rear wouldn't be noticeable so I left them stock and painted them red to match.

I don't appreciate you calling me ugly.

The rear rotors on cobras aren't just larger, they are also vented, as opposed to the stock solid rear. Better if your going to be doing any repeated hard braking since they will cool faster.

shadow5403 · February 11th, 2008, 02:35 PM

for a DD/street machine, would a blank rotor be better? or slotted/crossdrilled?

Those are stock Mach 1/Cobra/Bullitt brakes and the calipers are 2 piston,just FYI.

The stock brakes on the Cobras are 13" rotors in front and 11.65" in the rear and the rears are indeed vented.
