Upgrading brakes

88GT 5pt0 · 08-06-2003, 08:20 PM

I just got my 17 Cobra R wheels

and I want to upgrade the rotors and calipers but I'm not sure what brand to go with. I want the rotors to be bigger (obviously) and slotted. I also want all four disc brakes. Is there a good kit to go with?

Just went with the Power Stop rotors and AGX pads that
Summit sells a month ago. A little more expensive then
the factory stuff and a little cheaper then the big name
guys but the best brakes I've had so far.

Are your cobra r's 4 or 5 lug? Are you using the fox brakes or sn95? I've got sn95 front and rear on my 86 and it works great. If you want rear disc, the sn95 swap was simple. Check www.matt90gt.com for more specific info.

Hey I found this company that deals those factory 5.0 kit cars but they use fox body stuff. They have a brake kit that works with what you already have. Check it out,
