I know their is a problem with the brakes. Just from a visual inspection the rotor looks worn down past resurfacing point. And they seem to be warped. I know I'm going to buy new ones. But the calipers is what I'm worried about. The right front seems to be sticking so I'm going to either need to rebuild it or buy a remanufactured one. Do you guys have any luck with the remanufactured ones from autoparts stores. The ones that already comes with new pads and everything already installed. Or should I attempt to rebuild my own. I should mention to you that I have just the basic hand tools no presses or air tools. And I work out in the parking lot of my apartment so this has to be something I can finish in one day and not leave the mustang on jack stands over the night.

Let me know what you guys think I should do.

if it is the front caliper you can rebuild it...But, I would just buy a new/remanned one. Dont even attempt to rebuild the rear calipers, they are way too hard. Just get new/reman ones. They will be fine.

i have a set of GT calipers that are in good condition if you want them.

(i did the cobra upgrade)

$30.00 plus shipping and they are yours.

Do I need to modify anything to make them fit. Are they any better than the standard mustang calipers. I know the Cobra ones require a 13 inch rotor.

nope they will bolt right on.

i wouldn't say that they are FAR better then the normal calipers but it is def. an upgrade from your crappy one piston calipers.
like i said i did the Cobra upgrade so i needed new calipers and brackets and such so i just have these lying around.


here is what they go for:

HMUSN so what would I need to complete the swap, like return springs or different hydraulic fittings?

[HMUSN]

you brake lines hook up to the new caliper no problem.


what you would need is:

the caliper
pads

and maybe the brackets.(not sure) i know i needed Cobra brackets but not too sure about this application.

but the brackets would be included anyway.. i can't use them with the Cobra set up.

[RotaryBuddha]

HMUSN could you post a picture of them, also I was looking at pads online, and the same part number is listed for the single and dual piston caliper is that right?

[RotaryBuddha]

Also am I going to run into any rim issues with the new calipers?

[HMUSN]

you wouldn't have any clearance issues.

they are the same size caliper .. which is why the brakes are the same.

EDIT:... which means you probably wouldn't need new brackets as well.

[RotaryBuddha]

Alright how much do you think shipping will be?

[HMUSN]

those ebay links suggest 16-18 bucks in the US.

so lets call it $45.00 total

or $46.35 if you use paypal.

Alright could you at least post a picture of them, or email me a picture
