Aight guys,so heres a dilema i have. I want to get new brakes, my rears are already fading and my brake pads are almost metal to metal. shoul di pay the $480 per axel,that big o tires will charge for new power slotted rotors, i think they will be 13in, and new hawk brake pads, or should i go to buyfordracing.comand get the rear set up Cobra Brakes instead? and also, if i buy a new rear set up, should i get red orthe charcoal they have?

RE: Cobra Brakes
I would just buy the powerslot rotors and do them myself $480 you could almost buy a front cobra brake setup and by just slotted rears for that much and do it yourself...Brakes aren't hard to do...but $480 for rears is rediculous...I would not pay that..

RE: Cobra Brakes
Buy Cobra backing plates and Cobra rotors and that's your complete rear kit. The calipers and pads are the same. Do them yourself, it's super easy, but you'll need a special tool to compress the rear calipers piston.

Brake Upgrade
how does this sounds for a rear set up? i found this on the stang suspension, baer 13in drilled slotted zinc plated rotors for $269.95. and the brakets that i need with it. and for pads, only $69.95. how hard is it to replace rotors and pads? i have never done it before and kinda wanna save some moeny.

RE: Brake Upgrade
Don't forget, if you upgrade from 11" to 13" brakes, you need different calipers and higher flow fuel lines, which is why the Cobra conversion kit is one of the best ways to go, although some kits don't come with the drilled and slotted rotors, but there are a few that do.
