RE: Cobra brake fron upgrade

Yea, my front brakes and rotors are about to go too. I'm considering my options. I might just go with the cobra upgrade myself....or the mach 1 & paint them red. Wasn't there a red mach 1 kit too?

RE: Cobra brake fron upgrade

wait so the mach 1 brakes that are $349 are the same exact brakes as the cobra ones on american muscle selling for 569? the only difference is the color scheme on the calipers?

Yes, and Yes. For 569 you can get the brackets and blanks for the rear so you can run bigger rotors in the read and the mach1 brakes from bfr. Good luck man

No, you need brake brackets to fit a larger rotor on the rear brakes, the brake bracket for the rear just moves the caliper out a little bit further to allow the bigger rotor. There is a seperate kit for the rear brakes on buyfordracing. If you only wanna do the front brakes then just get the mach1 brakes from buyfordracing, if you wanna do both then get the mach1 brake kit($349 I think) and the rear brake kit($175 i think) buyfordracing has.
