cobra brakes on 17" bullets or do I need 18"

[Team Ford]

Hey is anyone running the cobra brakes with the 17" bullet wheels? Im only asking due to americanmuscles site saying they wont fit.

Thanks!

Cobra brakes will fit fine. They are what comes stock on the bullitt anyway


2000 Cobra R brakes will not. You'll need 18" wheels or 17's with a lot of space in the front for the brembo caliper


So it depends on what cobra kit you mean.

American Muscle is expensive anyway. Try Buyfordracing.com

i just picked mine up used, hopefully everything works out ok this weekend, go with Buyfordracing.com, and then paint calipers red if ur wanting them like those 615 dollar ones on american muscle

That's what I did. These were $310 when i bought them from BFR

huh, I just checked out the AM site and now it just says need 17" wheel to clear the brakes...maybe I was mistaken

$823 for the front rear cobra brakes including the moan plate kit. But then its $110 shipping bringing the total upto $933. AM is asking $970 but with the 10% discount code that would put them at $873!

rear calipers included?

If they are, that's not that bad. But you don't need the rear calipers. Your stock calipers can be made to work

In that case, you would only need to buy the M2300-M kit which is $175 for the rear parts. Downside is you will need to pull your axles to do this.

It makes a difference, but i never wanted to pull my axles out so i only did the front kit

I ran a winter with the rear pads worn almost to the rivets now the rears are dragging pretty bad.

Keep in mind that the GT spare will not fit over the Cobra brakes.
