but when i type in 2001 mustang cobra on advance it will only show 4.6 but on autozone 2001 cobra will show up with 5.4l

 

[IRACEMYCOPCAR]

The only cobra that had a 5.4L was the 2000 Cobra R and i highly doubt that autozone is stocking those brakes.

you should be fine with any year cobra calipers and rotors, however i believe the 94-01 cobras had 38mm caliper pistons and the 03/04 cobras and Mach 1's had 40mm pistons in the calipers.

 

[Needboost]

oh ok wasnt sure if having the 5.4 made a difference or not. is it a big enough diff between thr 38mm and 40mm to be a big enough diff

 

[Needboost]

and i kno that the calipers are different for the right and left. what about the rotors are they the same for both the right and left. heard the factory brembos were vented differentley for the right and left side but wasnt sure about replacements

I can get brembo blanks for 70 bucks each + shipping

anyone kno what size wheel i would need and offset to make sure i clear everything?

 

[OneJArpus]

You will need a minimum of 17". they clear my 17x9 +25 gramlights

 

[planemos]

I have 17x8 zero offset American Racing Torqlites and I had to grind the edge off the caliper a little bit. No big deal. My rims are kind of a flat face style.

 

[Needboost]

so sounds like i atleast need a 17 and an offset of atleast 25 to be on the safe side. how do yall like the brakes did it make big diff over stock ones?

 

[OneJArpus]

yes bigger difference, ive taken it to 150 mph n was hard on the til 40 mph no fade ir squishy pedal on my stickers by 70 i had no brakes. iffset isnt that big of a deal with the wheels but caliper clearence is.

he has an aggressive 0 offset but low disc face which required him to shave. i have a med/hi caliper clearence. i can prob squeeze 6pot in my wheels

if you buy used test em first

well i would be buying the wheels new that the only bad part would probly be buying the xxr 521 believe they come with a 18x8.5 with a +25 or 35mm offset or could go big with a 18x10 with +12 or +25mm offset. just worried about buying them then realizing they wont fit

I had to roll my fenders with +25 offset, with +12 you will have to roll and PULL the fenders... be careful with your purchase!

Hey buddy of mine just sold his car, and he has every single thing i need to do a Cobra front brake swap on my car, I was just wondering anyone that has this setup would they recommend it? did you notice a big difference?

I have had alot of SC's and did TT or LS400 front brakes on them and it was a major improvement..

just wanna make sure it's worth upgrading if i'm gonna spend the cash, also any chance of it feeling unbalanced having stock rear brakes? and is the stock Master cylinder ok to use with the brake upgrade?

 

[peytoncoyote]

Where do you find the kit? I know there is one on drifmotion but what else would I need other then the brackets and lines?

 

[aka paco]

it is the drift motion kit.. my buddy picked up a used set of 03 cobra calipers, rotors, pads as well pretty much everything you need plus the kit..

I did driftmotion cobra kit, with 2000 cobra r brembo's. they're pretty sweet, hopefully get to use em soon. I'm tryin to find someone to help with wiring stuff. Overall, my front and rear brake swap was easy, looks amazing and not too expense to do both front and rear. Hit me up with any questions on it.
