Default Cobra Brakes

About a year ago I installed 99 cobra brakes (calipers, etc) on my 2000 Mustang GT. After driving for a few weeks, I noticed that my calipers were bouncing back and forth a little. I took it back to the shop and had cobra shims installed to fix the problem, which it did. Now I find myself in the same situation... the caliper isn't in a fixed position. It rocks about a quarter of an inch back and forth. Anyone know how to fix this? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

Should put some locktite on the bolts that hold it in place. Make sure the lock tite is rated to withstand high heat.

bro in got the same problem with my cobra brakes. its a floating caliper so u should replace the pins and the shims too. i replaced the pins and put the old shims in there and it almost fixed it. so if i get the shims i think itll fix the problem. id try both of those things

I've been running 13" Cobra front brakes for about 10 months and haven't noticed a problem. What exactly is it doing?
