my whole life i thought it was about speed, that is untill i was going about 75 and had to slam on my beat up stock 98 gt brakes. and skidded and hit the car in front of me, hmm that was a problem the solution......a upgrade to the cobra brake kit with brembo rotors found on 03/04 cobra, man i just got them installed today and i think i have switched from drag to road racing, man those brakes almost put me through the windshield

ROB 98GT

does it feel like you car nosedives less with the cobra brakes during hard braking?

jersey98gt

yea it has much better control and, i had an abs failure with those old peices of ****, these brakes are definatly wortht he $$$$

just so you know, when uit comes time to replace your rotors buy slotted but not drilled. slotted rotors increase performance and are what you will find on all of the ultra-high performance automobiles like the carrera GT for example: carbon fiber rotors -slotted, not drilled. drilling the rotor is strictly aesthetic and marginally decreases performance.

BTW, what size are the rotors?

jersey98gt

they are 13inch, and i never heard of drilled decreasing performance

Slotted rotors also wear down the pads faster for the increase bite.. Because every time those slots go around, they are slicing some pad off.

i still think drilled rotors look bad ***. does it decrease your performance that much?

jersey98gt

it doesent decrease performance

metaldrummer

your absolutly right, decreasing the surface area of the rotor actually in contact with the brake pad doesnt have any effect on performance at all.

I agree that drilled rotors look awsome but like I said, there is a reason that actual race cars dont have drilled rotors. on street cars, the permance loss may be less than 1% but its a loss nonetheles.

jersey98gt

ok the reason they are drilled, is to decrease the brakes from heating and provide better ventalation
