[QUOTE]Originally posted by cobraracer46: [QB] Sydewaysix quote: [b]"but when its really not necessary why not save your money for something else?" [/b] Why not? Well, its interesting that many Eroupean and Asian auto enthusiasts run the big Brembo Gran Turismo brakes in the front and rear of their Porsche, Mitsubishi Lancers, BMW's Mercedes AMG's while 90% percent of the Mustang crowd run cheap brakes and spend the money else ware. I always wanted my Cobra to have the exact same high end Brembo GT brake system that you would normally find on Ferrari, Lambrogini and other high end cars and that is a big reason why I installed a Brembo GT kit in the front of my Cobra and why I am currently building a custom Brembo GT brake set up for the Cobra IRS. There are advantages throwing away the stock Cobra IRS brakes and installing a brembo GT system. From some racers who find the rear stock mustang brakes inadequate "Cobra rear brakes absolutely SUCK for a race car! Heavy calipers, expensive pads, fast wearing, poor release. They almost parked the car after a race. Made it very difficult to more the wheel. " "MM developed these IRS brake kits on our own American Iron racecar because we found the temperature of our standard Cobra rear rotors exceeded 1,200 degrees at the end of a track session. Once we installed this kit our rotor temperatures were reduced to less than 900 degrees, and the rigid four-piston caliper greatly improved brake pad life and pedal feel by eliminating taper wear of the pads."
