for the price id just buy the new ones...

Damn the prices have went up in the last few months. I got my Bullitt/Cobra kit with front calipers/rotors/hoses for $385 @ mustangs unlimited but now i just looked up the price and the calipers alone are $439. it's still a good upgrade and if i were you i'd go with a new set.

Why not do the front and the rear for $1018 shipped?

You guys must be rich. I just can't imagine spending that kind of $ for brakes!

mjkids · October 21st, 2007, 01:35 PM

you can get the cobra set up front and back for 700. to 800.

energiesource · October 21st, 2007, 02:20 PM

i couldnt imagine spending that much either, thats why im bitching about them going from 400 to 550. 150 doesnt seem like alot, but for brakes and a sudden increase of that amount, yeah its alot.

superbeef1000 · October 21st, 2007, 04:23 PM

You can get the mach 1 upgrade kit which includes mounting brackets, calipers, 13" brembo rotors, and stainless steel brake lines. Go to buyfordracing.com you can get the front kit for $349.

strkrstng is correct. I bought my Cobra calipers from Diversified Products about 6 months ago. I wold spend the additonal 60.00 and get the powdercoated red cobra calipers.

when you do get your new brakes your pads are going to cost more.
I had 99 Cobra brakes and the front pads alone were around $100.00
