cobra brakes

[lunchbox0029]

I have two sets of rotors and calipers off a 98 cobra
does anyone have info on what it takes to install
and what else I need I would like to do all 4 corners if not able to do so Is anyone interested in left overs
and who or how to drill out rotors

The rotors have to be redrilled, you have to have the caliper brackets, and you have to have wheels big enough to clear.

They don't generally, without at least a spacer. If the rotor diameter is bigger than about 12.2" they won't clear, either.

So Im guessing 12.2" is pretty big compared to stock. IDK the exact size of my Powerslots, but I know their smaller than that. Spacers?? Really??? That sucks.

I dont think I would ever put spacers on my hubs. Especially the wheels that are moving the car Have you put spacers on? Does it look silly?

The Pumpkin has the original Bondurant/Roush incarnation of the "Cobra" brakes, and it has spacers roughly 1/8" thick to make the slicers fit. I can't tell that they're in there, but maybe somebody with a more critical eye could spot the extra track width in the front. Might need a pretty finely calibrated eyeball to do that, but...

Since I don't personally really want to race the thing with 6" wheels, I'll be putting different wheels on that have more clearance and won't require the spacers. I may also move my 12.5" Baers from my silver car to the Pumpkin, which would make all that moot, too...

so I need the cobra brackets?

If you are going with the 13 inch cobra brakes some 17s still won't fit.

TexanTony just put a set of cobra brakes on a customer's car. The customer had 17s but they still didn't have the clearance.
