I'm plan on installing the Ford racing front disc brake (M-2300-R) http://www.summitracing.com/search/brand/Ford-Racing/Department/Brake-Systems/Product-Line/Ford-Racing-Cobra-Disc-Brake-Packages/?autoview=SKU on my 02 GT. Any tips or write ups anyone can share? I've looked around on the net and haven't found much in terms of details. Particularly when it comes to the brake hoses.

thanks for any help

www.buyfordracing.com has the calipers for $250. Just need rotors which are cheap on eBay and some brake line hoses, also cheap. You'll probably be around $400 for the total package.

+1, buyfordracing also has a really good deal for SS brake lines for $39.

sorry to thread jack but those SS brake lines are a great price. But they only list for 96-2004. Will they work on my 95 I have Cobra brakes.

I used them on my 94 and they worked just fine.

If you want to save some $$$ you should just buy all the parts used off of this site. You should just need the following:

1. front and rear rotors
2. front calipers/pads
3. front and rear brake lines
4. rear cobra brackets
5. rear anti-moan brackets
6. high temp brake fluid

You don't need to change the rear calipers. I would recommend upgrading to SS lines all around. Call Maximum to get those. Also, upgrade your pads while you are at it too.

Tips for the install:

1. Front rotors can be a bitch to get off. Use a rubber mallet or wood and a hammer.

2. Make sure to plug the lines when you pull them off to not loose too much fluid and NEVER let the MC run dry

3. Follow the proper procedure to bed the pads

4. You are gonna need to pull the rear axels out to remove the caliper brackets on the rear. Never done this before but I have heard it takes a bit of time.

5. make sure to bleed everything properly or your shit will feel like a sponge


BTW, I have a set of freshly turned cobra rear rotors I'll sell you for $30 to get the ball rolling [Big Grin]
