Lmr kit being all inclusive doesn’t help you when they are selling you spindles you don’t need and then still won’t sell you the stuff separate anyway . Also doesn’t include the brake booster which you need , the adjust prop valve , plug for the stock one ( I see the valve in the pics but not on the parts list ) . Also sticks you with the 11.65 rear cobra rotor which is fine if you don’t plan on putting a 15 inch wheel on . If you want to run 15 inch wheels in the rear to play at the track ever you’re better off with the gt setup for the rear . Which is how i linked it to you and have on my own car as well. Calipers are the same just rotor dia is biggerI appreciate your help, but I'm in the research phase right now. I'm trying to figure out all I need and I was concerned that no hubs or rotors were included in the parts list. Part of the reason for the LMR kit is that it's all inclusive, but the downside is that I would be paying a 15% surcharge over identical Rock Auto parts. I'm catching on.
Did. I miss anything in my lists ? I know i relied heavily on your thread and your advice esp on master sizing Vs calipers when I did this on my car and for stock brakes this thing will make you eat the steering wheel.I did my setup for about $1.3k and that's includifing some of the extras like MM stainless brakes lines and crissdrilled rotors and such.
I sold off a bit of my stock stuff too and made bsck a couple hundred
Plus then you don't have SVE branded on your calipers.
Awesome. Thanks! I just printed out those instructions. That's a great reference if I decide to piece all the parts together from Rock Auto and elsewhere. As for now I think I'm leaning with purchasing the majority of the miscellaneous parts from LMR and going with other vendors for the larger parts (rotors, brake pads, etc.) I suspect I can buy better parts for about the same price from Rock Auto and other vendors than going with the package LMR rotors and stock type pads.You nailed it.
I always say to use the old m-2300-k instructions as a guide
As for the parking brake, there's a clip available now to avoid cutting and welding and it will allow you to tighten the cable later inside the car.
Brakes - Sn95 Parking Brake (no Need To Weld Handle)
The So I just put a 1998 Cobra leather handle in my car simply for the look. Learned a few things about the fox and SN95 handles. First off, there's no difference major differences in the87-93 and 94-98 handles. The 99-04s use a different mounting pattern (so I would recommend not using...www.stangnet.com
Also, LRS has the rear axle brake lines to avoid adapters and bending. For the cost though, one may just want to use the $5 adapters.
I always said going 5-lug Cobra disk was one of the most fun and rewarding projects I ever did on my car.
Quick parts check on Amazon. The 18A964A (front rotor) is $22.75 a piece! Rears are $14.83 a piece!! DangACDELCO 18A964A Front - 65.78 for pair .
ACDELCO 18A654A - Rear 29.76 for the pair
Ya, those SVE graphics are dumb.I did my setup for about $1.3k and that's includifing some of the extras like MM stainless brakes lines and crissdrilled rotors and such.

In my earlier post I said I sent you the rear gt stuff because the stopping power is the same but allows you to be able to fit a 15 inch wheel on the rear to be able to drag race . If not you can opt for the cobra rotors but also get the correct NRC backing plates on lmr because that’s the differenceQuick parts check on Amazon. The 18A964A (front rotor) is $22.75 a piece! Rears are $14.83 a piece!! Dang
Actually, it looks like 18A654A is actually the smaller GT rear rotors. 18A1262A may be the correct larger (11.65") '03-'04 rear Cobra rotors?

Glad to hear it . You won’t be disappointed you did it this way. The lines and stuff make a big diff in pedal feel . Don’t forget to gut both sides of the stock prop valve . Old plug goes back in the rear new plug goes in the front from lmr . When you bleed the Brakes make sure the adj valve is full open so you get full fluid to the rear to get the air outthen adjust it .Pulled the plug. It was over $2K, but I got Hawk HPS pads, Maximum Motorsports stainless steel lines and quality rotors and calipers (primarily AC Delco). Thanks everyone!
I don’t know why I waited so long or was intimidated by it . Was the best thing I ever did. ESP going high 10s on stockbrakes . No funGood choice. If you have any issue, let us know. Fairly easy swap that you'll love when done
