Angel 24 Report post Posted April 13, 2012 I noticed the rear caliper is a ford caliper like the ones used on cobras and gt's. The front rotor is the a lot thicker than a stock cobra rotor but what about the back? In terms of diameter they are the same as cobra,mach1,bullitt rotors. 13" front and 11.65" rear. but is the rear rotor any thicker? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Powershift 19 Report post Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) I noticed the rear caliper is a ford caliper like the ones used on cobras and gt's. The front rotor is the a lot thicker than a stock cobra rotor but what about the back? In terms of diameter they are the same as cobra,mach1,bullitt rotors. 13" front and 11.65" rear. but is the rear rotor any thicker? Yep, the rear caliper is a factory Ford unit. It's got an integral parking brake, which is much better than 98% of the aftermarket parking brakes out there. The way I figure... if that caliper is good enough for GTs, '03/'04 Cobras, and Cobra R's, it should be just fine for my Mach. The rear rotors have lots of meat. I'm not sure on the new thickness of stock Ford rotors, but here is a quick mic check of the two piece set from Street or Track.... EDIT: Just looked up the specs. Same O/D thickness as stock Ford rotors... .70 Edited April 13, 2012 by Powershift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaun 10 Report post Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Looking great Brian, I love the photography! No need for such a wide/large rotor on the rear as the rear doesn't see as much heat as the front. Making a rotor larger than it needs to be adds weight. Our front 2 pc 13" x 1.25" rotor cools better and is 3lbs lighter than the stock SN95 Cobra rotor.

Shaun 10 Report post Posted April 14, 2012 It's got an integral parking brake, which is much better than 98% of the aftermarket parking brakes out there. Not only does the parking brake work very well, the way it works eliminates pad knock back in the stock rear end when cornering hard. The next step up in stopping power is to run our full floating 9" system with 4 piston fixed calipers: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gsxrken 21 Report post Posted April 16, 2012 Love the rims. You need some of the long lugs from Cobra Automotive to complete the look! On edit- just read earlier posts in this thread and you already mentioned the longer lugs. You would have a tough time finding them with that unique nose.

cobrakidz 10 Report post Posted April 16, 2012 (edited) haha, we looked into those lug nuts, cool but OUCH on the price. This looks great so far Brian, can't wait to go for a ride. 318-4300g is the part number but no prices online.

Powershift 19 Report post Posted April 16, 2012 Yea, later I will look at having some longer lug nuts custom made. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Powershift 19 Report post Posted April 18, 2012 Axles are at the machine shop getting new bearings pressed. Should be assembling the rear in the next couple days (as my time permits!). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Powershift 19 Report post Posted April 19, 2012 I've got the rear Disc setup nearly done. Just need to connect the E-brake, and plumb the brake lines. GREAT kit, Shaun! :thumbup: Another quick Iphone pic.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cobrakidz 10 Report post Posted April 19, 2012 This is looking awesome, I bet you almost hate to put the wheels and tires back on and hide the brakes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Powershift 19 Report post Posted April 19, 2012 I know! I slid a rear wheel on just to see what it will look like when done. Still cool!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Powershift 19 Report post Posted April 20, 2012 Just got one of my new Scat Pro Car seats installed tonight. I love the vintage look, but with modern support. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ash 145 Report post Posted April 20, 2012 Wow, they look great! I haven't really been a fan of anything I've seen put in these cars that are "sporty", but they really do have an old school look! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Powershift 19 Report post Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) Yea! I've seen them in other early muscle cars, and they just have a period correct appearance. They fall right inline with my vintage Trans Am theme, as they appear to be the same kind of styling as early model road racing seats.
