Finally got the car back on the ground after a few revisions. Installed the Baer brakes. ARP wheel studs, Re routed the house/emp. Added switch back fog lights. Lowered it a bit more.

ATS brakes an are a noticeable upgrade over the stock cobra brakes. Especially with braided lines. Pedal feel is firm and they grab hard.
How do they feel at initial bite during normal braking? Just curious... When I went to the FTBR kit with 14.5" rotors, 4-piston calipers, and braided lines, I was expecting them to throw me into the dash if I sneezed anywhere near the pedal. Instead, they feel more responsive than stock, but don't really come alive until I start braking more aggressively. Overall, under typical A to B driving, I don't really even notice the brakes have been upgraded which I suppose is probably good characteristic all things considered.

Pretty much the same observation for these bro. Normal driving they are barely more noticeable than stock. Either way they are a big cosmetic improvement behind the ccw wheels lol

I ran a set of EBC Yellow Stuff race pads in the stock cobra brakes back in the day, they bite hard like you are saying, I took them off because they would dust like crazy though. After 40 miles, the wheels were black from dust.

I run powerstop pads in my ATS's, they are ok.

I have the same setup and I feel the same thing as you. Nothing at all over the top normal driving but will get you down in speed quick when doing a nice highway pull.

I upgraded my stock original brakes at 26/27K miles to the 4-Piston Y2K Cobra R Brembo kit in the front along with matching Powerstop slotted rotors in the rear, HAWK ceramic pads, MM stainless steel lines and new fluid. I felt a night and day difference once I had them ‘bed’ in properly.

I ran a set of EBC Yellow Stuff race pads in the stock cobra brakes back in the day, they bite hard like you are saying, I took them off because they would dust like crazy though. After 40 miles, the wheels were black from dust.

I have the original Galfer pads in the Brembos and they dust just as bad as the EBC race pads. But they sure do bite though.

Doesn’t look like he drove it yet. The ATS calipers offer about 3/8”-1/2” more contact toward the hat section of the rotor. Also the pads ever so slightly hang off the rotor, 1/16” or less on mine. So a lot more pad surface than stock cobra brakes.



Nice color, very similar to mine. I did metallic gun metal gray.

I’m curious if the ATS kit provides the same pad contact as the Y2K Brembos?

I like that’s nice/ is it made just for the cobra?
No, but she fits like a glove so it may as well be. lol

About time you give my cobra a nice car cover damnit!
I almost took another shot in between without any covers on it just so I could tag you in it. haha
