hi
I'm currently running cobra PBR front and GT rears. I am able to smoke the front brakes during OT. My car is daily driver and OT 5 times/yr. Clearence is not an issue since I run 2000 cobra r wheels 18x9.5
I would like to hear the opinions of the following kits.
Cobra PBR 2 pistons 38mm/38m rotor size 13"x1.1"=$500
VS
StopTech 4 pistons 36mm/40mm rotor size 13"x1.25"=$2000 (stiffest caliper design of the bunch)
Cobra Brembo 4 pistons 36mm/40mm rotor size 13"x1.25"=$1100 (Brembo=Porsche)
Alcon 4 pistons 38mm/40.5mm rotor size 13"x0.810"=$1600 (Look more beefy than Brembo)
Baer New Corvette Caliper on mustang 2 pistons 40mm/40mm rotor size 13"x1.1"=$800 (Baer claims that it would make a night and day difference compared with my Cobra PBR)
Wilwood 6 pistons =$1600 (not street friendly because of the pistons seal)
Problems : They all have similar brake torque to me by measuring their piston areas multiply by the radius of the rotor. The main difference is their heat capacity, caliper stiffnest and brake feel and modulation.
What do you guys think on these kits especially the Corvette kits (worth to upgrade).
Thank you for the time.
