Cobra Brakes on GT (99-04)

[Laffs]

Stock size rotors will only come in solid, too thin for vented. Cobra and GT pads are almost identical, cobra ones are just thinner to accommodate the thicker vented rotor. If it was mine, upgrade the front to Cobra, set of SS line all round, decent matching pads n rotors for the stock rears and done.

Yea looking in to that as well. But seems like somehow it costs more....

Thanks!

Keep in mind, some of the pads that come in "kits" are anything but premium.
If they were OEM Ford, PBR pads that came in em are a terrific street pad.

LMR sells them with a Stoptech Semi Mettalic.

I did the M2300M Cobra kit on the back of my 2003. It came with everything except the pads and calipers. Easy kit to put in, the only part that was a bit of a pain was removing the axles to get the old brackets off and to get the new ones on.

If you like i have pictures from the install and i can do a write up for you if you like.

rear calipers are the same in either scenario I believe - iron Varga single pistons. The 11.65" rotor offers app 10% more torque than the GT rotor setup, according to MM.

I would do it if its gonna be all the same $ other than the bracket. No such thing as too much brakes. I would go with EBC red pads front and rear, slotted and drilled rotors if its only going to see street use.

Are upgrading the rear brakes on a GT to Cobra spec as easy as ordering Cobra Calipers, Caliper Brackets, Cobra Brake Lines, and Cobra Rotors? Or is there more that needs to be changed like the axle mounting flange and what not.
