Hi guys:
My apologies if I asked this a few years back... I can't remember last weekend so you'll have to forgive me ... but I need my Cobra to brake way better.
I am told the 1993 GT rotors are a perfect fit (given the proper wheel). Is this true? My speed-shop, that knows Mustangs, said they won't fit. I think they are wrong on this one, if one compensates for the shorter hat with less backspace? Right?
So, let's assume you all say I can put 4-bolt GT rotors on? What do I need? I need really good braking. The car is putting out about 425-450/500-525 and stopping is getting pretty white-knuckled. Any advice is very much appreciated guys. It's almost May and time to bring my baby back out on the road.
Thank you!
Brad

Re: Cobra brakes
With that kind of power output, I would seriously consider an aftermarket upgrade (slotted and/or cross-drilled rotors & improved pads) rather than trying to stick with '93 rotors.

Gt rotors will fit,

Is there a performance advantage of GT rotors over the stock 93 GT rotors?

Re: Cobra brakes
Not at all. The swap is to make the aftermarket '93 Cobra wheels fit properly. Purely aesthetics.12SVT wrote:Is there a performance advantage of GT rotors over the stock 93 GT rotors?
Re: Cobra brakes
Hi guys, time for annual summer visit. I actually had Ford install some GT rotors (Stop Tech) and Hawk pads this week. Let me tell you: before stopping was an adventure everytime; now, there is bite and stopping power. It's day and night. It's a cheap fix so if you havern't done it, do it - but I'm sure you know all this.
