I think the best brake upgrade for the fox is the Baer system. If you want to use 17X9 wheels, the Cobra brakes will require different offsets for the front and rear. With the Baer kit, you can use the same wheel on all four corners. I also run 255/40-17 tires all around.

i'm kind of partial to the wilwood 6 piston stuff. talk about stopping on a dime...
but cheaper routes.. BAER and just a simple Cobra SPEC system will do your car good..
I have a set of front and rear cobra rotors... just need to be reworked..

If you want to keep it cheap I did a 93 cobra brake setup on my 83 5.0 but I took the cobra front calipers to kragen and got a core charge big enough to cover the purchase of some bigger lincoln calipers. No fade, they stop much better. You might have to get a bigger master cylinder such as one from a lincoln mark VII

that ad appears fraudulent.
'93 cobras had 5 lug didn't they?
or am I wrong?
also, the '93 cobra rear brakes are only 10.65", the same as the t-bird spec which I already have.
thanks for the link though.
I might just get a prop valve, some front 13" brakes, and then get around to the rears around about the time the diff goes or the axles break for the 2nd time

93 cobra brakes are stock in the front and 11 inch in the back. The only 93 Cobras that had 5 lug were cobra R's. They had five lugs and 13's in the front and 11.5's in the back. There were very few cobra r's so if you can get one of those brake setups, go for it!

M-2300-K IS the 93 Cobra 'R' setup.
13" fronts & 11.65" rears, brake booser, MS, etc....5 lug.
Regular Cobras came with 11" fronts, 10.X" rears, are ALL 4 lug, & have the Lincoln 73MM calipers.
The M-2300-K is a great kit, but a bit overpriced for what it is. Pretty much any 13" kit out there is going to make your 2650lb coupe 'stop on a dime'.
