They are the same as the C4 Gran Sport Corvette calipers too. Then install some Hawk HPS pads.<br /><br />The only problem with going to Bullitt/Cobra calipers is you will have to upgrade to 13" rotors and add the caliper bracket. The difference in stopping power will be well worth it though. No fade, great modulation and stop on a dime.<br /><br />Otherwise if you want to stay with the stock calipers and rotor size just mount the PowerSlot rotors, get some stainless braided brake lines and install the Hawk HPS pads. Flush your brake fluid with Ford High Performance fluid and you'll see a bit of an improvement.<br /><br />Sean.<br /> <br /> <small>[ June 19, 2005, 07:43 PM: Message edited by: Sean90GT ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>DOPE 50</b> <br /><small>Member # 5194</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,5,20,9,44,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Hey bro thanks for the reply but just wanted to know how much these parts run for and where can i get them at thank you <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>HungryHippo</b> <br /><small>Member # 537</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,5,20,10,21,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> you can get the pads from tirerack.com they are around 60-70 a set i think <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Sean90GT</b> <br /><small>Member # 33</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,5,21,7,51,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> For the pads you can get them from Maximum Motorsports. They are $70 for the GT front pads or $90 for the Cobra front pads.<br /><br />For the calipers and brackets you could get them from <a href="http://www.discbrakesrus.com." target="_blank">www.discbrakesrus.com.</a> They have the kit for $399 without rotors or $599 with the rotors. I would just get the $399 kit from them and then order the Hawk pads and Brembo plain Cobra rotors from Max Motorsports ($99 each). The Brembo plain rotors are original Ford equipment and will allow you to turn them when it comes time for a brake job. And you'll probably need one soon cause it's so damn fun to haul ass towards an on-ramp, jam on the brakes then dive in to the turn! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Mach0ne351</b> <br /><small>Member # 927</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,5,21,9,20,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Hawk HP for racing only<br />Hawk HPS for street use<br /><br /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />marek <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>DaveG</b> <br /><small>Member # 1606</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,5,21,10,5,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I use Porterfield R4S pads.
