Brakes
 
What are the best brakes that i can get for the 03 GT? I have 9 inch wheels up front. I want them to look real good too.

03/04 cobra/mach brakes...theyre the best for the money. its more than enough for street use and light racing

Zaff03GT 04-20-2008 08:13 PM

is it not worth the money to go for something like brembo?

No.

You can get mach1 brakes (front) which have brembo rotors for $350.

4 piston calipers in front just ain't needed for a street car. Cobra brakes are plenty and a fantastic upgrade.

Do you know how much they differ from mach brakes?

mach and cobra breaks are 2 piston instead of 4 piston. but cobra brakes are more than enough for what the majority of us mustang owners.

I meant the difference between Mach's and cobras..are the cobras really worth the extra 100$? Or is it just paying for the name 'cobra'

the cobras are slightly larger from what i hear.

I have the Bullet/Mach brakes and they rock all over the stock ones.

After i put em on with new tires i ran out to 70mph and slammed the brakes as hard as i could, hit 0mph in under 4 seconds, they diddnt lock up and i dont have ABS.

I knew I've seen this debate before.

there's no effective difference between mach/bullit and cobra brakes except for the label. There have been piston size differences in some and banjo bolt differences in others but for the most part, the two piston 13: setup, no matter what picture is on the caliper, is more than sufficient for just about any street stang with appropriate pads.

Now, go buy some brakes. Install. Come back and tell us how wonderful we are.
