Default Front Cobra Brakes Are On.

I got the fronts on today. I am going to start on the rear bakes later after dinner, finish them up tomorrow. I forgot to put all the new fluids in the picture but I have some Motul RBF 600 Brake fluid, Royal Purple transmission and differential fluid, and Mobil 1 Steering fluid.














And put a whell on to see how it will look in the end.

I must say it was real nice when I got my cobra brakes on. Congrats. You'll enjoy them quite a bit.

Yeah after seeing Sean paint his I knew that was the way to go. Not hard to do at all, just one more step in the process.

Yea, those calipers look way too plain though.....just IMO I know they're for performance not looks, but even the six-pistons on my cobra have been color matched and they never show rust either.

are the rears vented or solid? im not talking about slotted or drilled...im talking about the center of the caliper if you were to look at the edge. weird question i know but i could never find the answer.

if you dont understand, just take a pic of the new rear rotors lol.

They are a bit plain, more plain than what I expected really. I didn't want the red 10th anniversary calipers, and I couldn't see paying the extra $100 or so it would be to get black Cobra calipers, plus I don't have a Cobra, so why pay to advertise it.

The Cobra rear rotors are vented.

Nice pile of parts. Looks like you got a bigger power steering cooler too.

Yup, that is actually a smaller one than what I originally tried to install. I had a dual circut cooler what was just absolutlely massive as far as fluid coolers go, but it was too big and way overkill.

Big brakes are always nice. I love my baer setup but regardless of brand, big brakes are awesome!
