I'm researching what parts to buy at Auto Parts stores to do the "Big Brake" 5-lug conversion on my 1986. I'm getting a bit confused on what the differences may be on a few Front calipers and have this list. I already purchased the 13" rotors, hub, hub nut, dust cap and dust shield. I bought pads (and hope they are right) Now for the calipers it appears there are several choices and I'm not seeing the difference. Here is what I found:
Maximum Mpotorsports says that PBR calipers for V6, V8 and GT changed in 1999 where the spindles from 99-'04 have a larger spread to accept larger calipers.
I want to use the 13" rotors, so the included information about the GT brakes is only because I collected it. I'd like to know what part numbers to order for the 13 inch brakes (and if you know, why?) Why are there 3 different part numbers for the Cobra brakes?
