Probably money and weight distribution. Termis are so front heavy, that when you jam on the brakes, you have very little weight on your back tires, thus no need for a bad ass braking system in the rear. I do agree though, that was a pretty dumb thought. It probably only would have been like an extra couple hundered bucks for nice rear brakes.it looks like they could be the same. i wouldnt be surprised if they were.
and thats something ive wondered about. why did SVT put a nice big "cobra" caliper assembly on the front, and then put a small odd looking assembly on the back. WTF? it looks stupid.
sometimes i wish i could talk to the svt guys and ask what their reasoning was behind a few things they did with the cobras.
yeah they are the same, the cobra uses a thinner pad because the rotor is thicker.you just need axle brackets that mover the caliper out and the cobra rotors
Rear cobra braket kit M2300M
Front Cobra conversion M2300R
Unless you drive a Porschealso 75% of your braking is done with your front brakes. Thats why with the Cobra R brake kit is for the front brakes.
i read on another forum that the
"the caliper on the cobra and the gt are the same in the rear, they just have a different bracket"
is this true ?
