What big brake kit should I get?

[xseler8]

I have the Baer Track/Touring.Drilled/slotted/powder coated calipers. I like the look & get a lot of compliments. They STOP when needed. Please note:The parking brake does not hold. And your GT spare won't fit. You'll need a 17x4(Cobra mini spare)

what size rear slicks/rims do you need with that setup?

I think for the baer kit you need to have at least 17's



So I should probably just buy 4 rotors, and the two bullit calipers for up front.. and then paint my back calipers red to match? Thats probably the cheapest way to get the big brake look without a ton of money I suppose?

i stuck with black for caliper colour. the cobra r brembos come in black and the rears i just ordered mach 1/04 cobra rear calipers. the braking with the cobra r brakes are substantially better than any cobra or 2 piston baer kit. you just need to explain the bleeding procedure to brake techs since there are 2 bleeder screws on each front caliper.

nevermind. this kit was on ebay for $400. It was there for six days with no bids. Today it ended at around $650.

i like my brake setup, plus i got the fronts and rears for $1200. www.buyfordracing.com best price ive seen on Cobra R brakes.

Which parts did you order and are the rear discs vented?

 

[bdcardinal]

the rears are vented i think. i ordered the corba r fronts with plain face rotors, and the cobra conversion kit for the rear with black calipers. i just called them and told them what i needed. the final price was around $1200 with shipping. the only downside was that it took about a week to get everything.

Yup, the rears are vented with the rear Cobra kit

Will stock 17" wheels pass the Cobra R fronts? I have a set of 18" summer wheels but like to run the stockers in the winter.

 

[bdcardinal]

ya 17" wheels will clear the Cobra brakes. for the Cobra R's, you would need a 18" wheel, or else a 17" wheel designed for the brembo calipers.
