I've had intentions of upgrading my brakes to the sn95 cobra brakes for a long time. I already have the larger discs. And SN95 hub/spindle/calipers etc on my fox.<br /><br />My question is, will the SN95 calipers bolt up to the Cobra Caliper Brackets? If so I was thinking of throwing the bigger discs on there & use the sn95 calipers for now. I wouldn't expect much better braking, but it would free up some room on my shelf since the bigger discs are sitting there.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Brandon <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>70stang351w</b> <br /><small>Member # 9948</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(2014,7,4,16,31,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> nope cobra brackets only fit cobra calipers <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>FivePTSlow</b> <br /><small>Member # 7682</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(2014,7,4,17,9,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by 70stang351w:<br /><strong> nope cobra brackets only fit cobra calipers </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Damn, thought I was onto something <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>sofresh</b> <br /><small>Member # 12393</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(2014,7,4,21,53,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> But are the pbr brake calipers compatible? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Blow_U_In_Reverse</b> <br /><small>Member # 12298</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(2014,7,4,22,36,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> you can cobra calipers for like $50 each at autozone.. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>KARATExxCHUCK</b> <br /><small>Member # 12851</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(2014,7,5,1,5,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I was told incorrect information about cobra calipers and SN95 brake brackets when I was on hunt for cobra calipers.

Cobras share the same caliper with some vettes and a few other cars. The problem is that they don't come with the brackets anymore. You were able to find them with the brackets a few years ago, probably about 5 years or so. You might wanna call a few parts store and see if they still have some kicking around with the brackets <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>KARATExxCHUCK</b> <br /><small>Member # 12851</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(2014,7,5,22,15,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by FivePTSlow:<br /><strong> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by 70stang351w:<br /><strong> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by FivePTSlow:<br /><strong> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by 70stang351w:<br /><strong> nope cobra brackets only fit cobra calipers </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Damn, thought I was onto something </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">i think everyone that starts looking in to this mod hopes for that; the brackets as stated are the hardest to find by themselves. </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Does anyone make a bracket that would allow one to use the 13" rotors with sn95 calipers?
