Cobra r brembo brakes

[patrick hubbard]

Has any one done a brembo 4 piston brakes from a cobra r conversion

I don't recall seeing any on a GenIII. I've seen 4 piston wilwoods on a GenI/II so it's doable.

I was thinking if the cobra brakes fit than the cobra r brembo should too

Patrick. You are correct. The mount holes will be the same, but line connections may the problem, I think the Brembo uses a different end. Distance may also be a problem. The Cobra front lines are about 18". Ours are about 24".

At any rate worst thing to consider is having to have a custom line made up.

I haven't looked at the dimensions, but I've always thought the Brembos were a bit wider, but that may just depend on the model.

Making the lines are not an problem o rieleis makes hoses

These are Baer. Might be wrong about them being wider.

I should have said it is doable with enough spacing/wheel size. The larger brake kits to include wilwood and TCE kits that I have seen were under 17" or larger wheels. I see Todd went from SHO motor to Honda for his hill climb car this year.

Good point. Cobra/Mach I kits do require 17" rims. At which point you should look at getting a wider setup to match the extra stopping power. Without ABS the stock brakes can over run the stock size. Ask me how I know...
