Mmmm, stopping power:







13.1" Mustang Cobra rotors with 1G Stealth R/T TT calipers and a 1" wheel spacer.

(Drooling on the floor). HOLY CRAP!!!

Very Nice.

hmmm, eric... i wonder why this is going now?

Pretty sure I was having trouble with old fluid boiling too quickly, it seems better after a fluid flush and bleed. It was probably the original brake fluid.

This is mainly so I can attend trackdays during the summer and not have to worry about sucky Japanese brakes.

You can say that again.

Just as a bit of info, a mere 3% moisture contamination in your fluid will decrease the boiling point of your fluid by over 100 degrees.

On a litmus-paper test, most 10-15 year old cars I've tested are in the 5-7% range, meaning you have instantaneous brake fade, due to a brake fluid boiling point in the low 200's.

Bleed'em skippy, get some fresh DOT 5.1. Not plain dot5, it's a different fluid all together.

Wow, I can't believe you went to the expense of Cobra rotors and 3S 4-pot calipers and your going to rely on a piece of card board to mount the calipers!!! Hahaha

Looks good Eric!

I noticed that too. What the heck is that spacer made of?

If I had the real caliper adapter, they'd be on the car already.

And yes, that is cardboard.

get the me the cardboard and I will it made for ya buddy

looks good man, you'll have to let us know how this all turns out and works for you in the end

You must be going to some bigger wheels too. There's no way those cobra rotors will fit under the stock wheels.

he has some sexy 18's he picked up from Spy

Got these all put together the other day:


They work pretty well, no fade was evident in testing. I think an upgrade of stainless lines and a 3/S TT master cylinder may be in order, as the pedal feel isn't the best.

smooth man! I like that look! that has to be one of the best matched wheels I have ever seen with a DSM.

I get red x's on all the pics

same

No more red X's, at least for a bit.

That looks really sweet, man. Good job!

Good lord, with those brakes you ought to be able to stop faster than an MR. I can't believe you actually got those to work. Good job!

we may have to talk..... I might just be interested in doing the same...(depending on cost).. what did the whole set up cost you....otherwise I will just stick with the slotted rotors and ceramic pads.......... also... did you do the rear too???

13.1" Cobra rotors, new at $20 a piece from Rockauto.com
VR-4 TT calipers with 30% left pads, used at ~$40
adapter to fit caliper, ????? (made it myself)
wheel spacers, $20-$75 depending on how big of a spacer is needed
adapter ring for rotor/hub interface, $10

I've got about $140 in the front brakes right now.

OG DSM Goodness. At it's best.

How much would you sell a copy of the brackets for?
