Plug wire set & brakes
Does anything know anything about this kit for wires and cap and rotor? As it stands I have a crappy autozone bosch wire set and some cheap cap and rotor. My mileage is terrible (I'm sure my o2's aren't in great condition either though). Anyknow know if this would be a good set to buy?
Also, does anyone know what kind of brake pads (what size the calipers were) the '93 cobra R uses? (front and rear)
Just bought motorsport kit M-2300-k from ebay for $700 with 15k miles on it hehe... 5 lug, need new rims too (my friend might be able to hook me up with fresh take-off bullits for $500 or so w/rubber). Didn't get it yet, but I'm REALLY looking forward to it hehehe!
Thanks all!

RE: Plug wire set & brakes
That seems rediculously expensive if you ask me...
Ford Racing plugwire sets should run you about $40 or so, and a MSD Cap & Rotor kit for $20... getting both of those includes everything that Granetelli kit has, at less than half the price. For the difference you could upgrade your coil to a high-powered MSD TFI coil that produces hotter spark, and you'd still be cheaper than the granetelli kit... just letting you know, wouldnt wanna see you get ripped off.

Get in MSD cap and rotor but dont get ford wires they just sucks. They have to much resistance. The more resistance the less spark gets to the plugs. MSD and taylor have the best wires on the market

RE: Plug wire set & brakes
I havent had any problems with the OEM wires. I run NAPA gold wires, theyre a direct replacement, and they have a lifetime warranty (always a plus). As for cap and rotor, Standard ignition makes really good stuff, use that or the motocraft stuff, cant go wrong there. As for the cobra brakes I believe its a 13" rotor w/ 4 piston cals. Not positive, but pretty damn sure.

Yeha, I thought the price was a little high. Crap bosch wires cost me 40 from crapzone (autozone) and I read that the ford wires have a TON of resistance (sure not as much as bosch though). I want that blue though. Does taylor make a ford blue set w/low resistance for around $60? Where do I get them? Only saw like 3 taylor sets on summit.
