Brake Heat/Chirping
 

My front brakes have been chirping, are excessively hot, and are putting out enough brake dust to blacken the rims within 2 weeks. I assumed brake pads were getting worn, so I picked some up only to find out nothing was wrong with the originals. Spinning the tire while raised is a fight. It's like the pads are clamped down. I loosened them up and drove for awhile, but within 3 or 4 weeks they started chirping again. Just wondering if this is an easy to fix problem, or if I might have to take it in to have the calipers replaced.

tried a good brake flush recently?

calipers could be sticking too. Might be time to replace those, and just spend 400 bucks on the whole cobra front brake kit.

yeah...its a must do mod IMO. if ya gotta replace 'em, upgrade.

That's what I was afraid of. I might do a brake flush first and cross my fingers. I'd hate to dip into the Gear/Tuner fund. :shakeno:

the cobra brakes are just as important as gears and tune IMO. makes your car safer. if you have to buy new calipers you might as well get the Cobra package up front...its not that much more if at all.

Being able to stop a modified mustang on a dime is a must. If your gonna add power and quickness, you'll sleep better at night knowing that your brake set-up is solid and dependable. Thats definitely worth dipping into the gear/tuner fund.

as new here, i want ask where i can found the full complete brake kit cobra, for mustang GT.

You can take them off clean tehm up and relube the slides etc.. this will most of the time fix the problem of sticking calipers.

try the search function. the topic has been covered at length repeatedly.
