Those are 18” Saleen rims. Man I would love a set of those brackets to run them on my Cobra.

What was the total cost mooch?

Holy crap, OP... That is fantastic.

Are the V calipers pricey compared to Brembos? Also - if the front brakes are too big vs the rears it can affect your bias at the limit, so be careful.

This guy is right, OP, are you upgrading rear brakes too? The gen V vipers (non ACR) have a notorious brake bias where the rear end starts to wiggle under heavy braking.

Looks outstanding. Definitely in for more details on this!

This^^. I have a V and always thought the brakes were works of art. Beautiful job.

Very nice

Very cool. But, it sits a bit too low for my taste.

Awesome work. I also agree on painting them to get rid of the V. Or find a decal big enough to cover it?

What is needed besides the bracket?

I needed to run the tubular A arms for the brakes to clear when turning and modify the spindle.

That's impressive. What was the total cost for the swap?

I did a few extra things such as stainless braided rear hoses and a bumpsteer kit and it all costed me just under $2k

I want to upgrade the rear brakes eventually too, not too sure if the stock master cylinder can handle it though, but I plan on looking into it soon.

I plan on looking into upgrading the rears at some point as well.

I'm still on the fence about the V, I would like to find an overlay that just says brembo I think

One of my favorite cars on this site, amazing job. I agree with removing the V & adding a Brembo overlay or something of that sort.

OP great job on this, been following your old thread when building the A-arms and happy to see this all come together.

Figures just when I did the Racing R upgrade... Lol Great job mooch!!!

Do the team z arms keep the wheels centered? One thing I hated about the k member I ran. Pushed the wheel centerline forward and out a bit. Corrected some of it with fox length stuff but it always bothered me.

Yea my wheels are still centered, I have the stock K member though

Awesome upgrade to an awesome car!!! I'd love to know if this upgrade could be done on my Crown Vic front end under my 68 F100!

Need more info on what you did to modify the spindles..

I had Mike send me these, I didn't have any pictures of mine

What kind of wheels are those?




If anyone is interested, I will have these hopefully available as a kit shortly. PM me if you are interested and I can give more details. Until then, carry on with #moochpics

I'm in.

Looks great! are you sure the rotors are on the correct side of the car?
