You need

2 x pins

[Dutch]

Yes. Napa maybe. Call around tomorrow. They big improvement over the single piston 10.8 inch single piston 97 gt?

[ZR]

Nope......................HUGE IMPROVEMENT.

[Dutch]

Haha nice. Ordered some nice drilled and slotted rotors with matching pads

Braided flex lines wotlrth the money?? Any good local shops to get them?

[fast Ed]

The NAPA kit number is NUP 83014A, they show one in their distribution centre so your local store should be able to get it overnight, $26.77 retail (does both sides).

seriously one of the BEST improvements I've made on my car. Night and day difference at the track.

Doesn't sound like a big difference, but here's the rotors side by side. stock GT vs Cobra

I really need to get on this swap. After my experience last year the stock GT brakes aren't worth shit fuck all.

[ZR]

Little to no gains going to Cobra rears over GT but front is a huge upgrade. Only regret will be not having done it sooner.

My plan was to source a used set of cobra/mach calipers/brackets to rebuild, then pair with a set of Hawk HPS pads and some stoptech slotted rotors all around.

[ZR]

Hawks perform well in Cobra calipers but are super prone to squealing. Stock OEM Ford / PBR pads are champ in a street ride but can be hard to find. Motorcraft version pads pale in comparison.

[Laffs]

I'll have to do a lot of research when I finally pull the trigger on a set, I don't need max effort track (convertible) but want something that can survive some serious spirited driving without fading to infinity.

[ZR]

Hawks or EBC reds would be better choice over stock then. If budget will allow, CarboTech also make a line of street friendly pads, exceptionally pleased with my track pads from them.

Wow!!! So the stock is same 10.8 I have on mine right now.?? Shit. Just waiting for my rotors to come in heading today to Napa for the pins. I ordered slotted drilled coated. They are black. Gonna feel and look killer.
So my hydroboost will master will be fine them I assume..

Picked them up. Thanks again. 23 bux with taxes. Love it when parts are under 30 bux

My experience with Hawk pads, HPS little to no improvement in stopping. HP+ great for track, would not drive them on the street. Ever.

Just bled the brakes. Wow!!! That's all I gotta say. Also best mod to date. Love it

[ZR]

Pretty damm cool ain't it.

[Mustang4]

Once I had the Cobra brakes on my Fox, I too said it was the best mod I could have done. Inspires a lot more confidence under any circumstance.

[Dutch]

Ya. Also I have braided brake lines coming still

[ZR]

Nice.

[tulowd]

Speedbleeders

I tried those, but much prefer gravity bleeding. Don't forget to use a soft faced deadblow hammer (lightly!!) on the calipers to dislodge those pesky air bubbles that stick to the inside piston bores.

[Dutch]

Yeah. I just bled them old school way. Pedal is right up to the top and feel is great

[ZR]

Only need to tap if your gravity bleeding, not that it's a viable option on all vehicles.
