Cobra brakes good enough for open road??

Chris_H · 06-26-2001, 10:57 PM

If you read my dyno post, I was in Phoenix the past 2 days. On the way home today I stopped at Firebird Raceway and checked out the Bondurant School of Racing. Since I plan to make my car an open road racer, I want to attend some of these schools. I am looking at the Baer Brakes and the Cobra brakes, and want to know if the Cobra brakes can stand up to the torture from these kinds of classes, and for open road racing. No sense in buying brakes that will last through half a class and start fading on me. Any help in deciding which ones to buy would be appreciated. Although I can't really afford the Baer's right now, no sense in buying the Cobra's and finding out they can't hang on the track.

Chris, I am new to this HP World, I have done a lot of work on mustangs but still have yet to have one of my own. I would like for you to know about and see what greatbrakes.com has to offer you in options for brakes. they are 70% dust free made from Kevlar. I know a lot of guys in the Viper and TA clubs that now live by them. Go check out the web site and if you have any questions give us a call or send us an e-mail. These brakes are great for what it is you are trying to do with your car. Thanks, Cory Hitz
