Thanks. So according to that, the front and rear rotors are 12 5/8"? If that is the case, then putting 14" rotors on the front AND rear shouldn't mess up the brake bias at all.

Yeah the fronts are 12 5/8 stock. The 14" kits are hella expensive. Maybe they'll go down with the new body style coming out.

Eh.. $700 front and $600 rear isn't too bad.

WTF.....where did you find that?!?!?!

The cheapest I've seen USED was $1400 for just 14" fronts with 4-pistons...

You're probably looking at complete big brake kits. I'm just looking at rotor upgrade kits, since there's nothing wrong with the stock S197 calipers. Here are the ones that I am looking at >

Throw some decent pads in there, and you're good to go. No need to spring for a BBK unless you track the car (at least in my opinion.)

BTW, $1400 for a used 14" brake kit is WAY too much. You can get this Ford Racing kit NEW for a little less than that >

Oooo nice. I never think to look at Brothers....Nice deal.

I've never done just a rotor upgrade. I figured you couldn't with the stock calipers. The Cobra has six-piston 14" but I never just tried to upgrade only the rotors. Seems like the caliper wouldn't get full contact on a bigger rotor......

EDIT: NVM I found it. Caliper relocation kit. Bumps up the caliper to accommodate. I'm guessing that's what you're doing?

Yeah.. I plan on doing that if I bump up the power a bit. Should be enough to suit my needs.

I'd say so. Tell me if you get it how well it works. I was looking into a brake, wheel, tire overhaul next.
