Ok so i got a question for ya. I got to thinking about tire sizes, id like to go from stock tires/rims to 18 inch rims and a 275/35/18 tire. if i do this will i need to get new brakes? Thanks.

 

No, your stockers will be fine.

 

but an upgrade to Cobra brakes is cheap insurance.

 

i can find these on AM.com?

 

yeah, thats where I got mine.

 

what do you mean by cobra brakes, can you give me a link please?

but there is no real point to get the rear upgrade, the rear Cobra brakes are only a few millimeters bigger. I got the front kit for about $450.00 I think. screw that $1100.00 BS.

EDIT: wow I just checked on AM about the front kit. I was like WTF!!! the price went up $250.00!!! boo!!!!

 

The black cobra fronts are only $560..why pay an extra 100 to have red calipers? lol..

 

I didnt pay that much for mine, and I didnt provide the link.

 

Remember how randy said ford raised prices on all of it's OEM parts in 08?

 

cobra brakes should be on every v8 mustang that gets driven like a v8 car. There's always the 1 or 2 guys that do just fine with stock brakes but most of us drive kinda fast and more brake is mo' bettuh buttuh. The jump to the 18" rim makes a big difference in stopping distance. I'd at least recommend a more aggressive front pad.

 

ahh...yeah. sucks. **** FORD. oh...wait...but I like my Mustang. dammit!

lol.

 

buyfordracing.com has the best deal on the brake upgrade. Get the Mach 1 package and it is only $330.

wow, american muscle has the cobra brakes for $660 for front pair. buyfordracing has the same package for $430. Can you put the cobra caliper brakes on a V6?

 

yep. GT's and V6's have identical brake setups from the factory. Installing the cobra kit is almost too easy. BFR has about the best prices I've been able to find which makes me suspicious. Do your research on the company... see if their prices are low because of high sales volume or just sucking *** and not being able to get customers any other way.

 

This is what im aiming for,minus the dif hood.
