Are the front brake rotors on the 93 Cobra the same as the GT? I know they are not a direct fit, but can the GT rotors be modified in some way to fit? I need a new set for the front of mine, but I am having trouble finding any Cobra replacement rotors.
93 Cobra Brake question
- Thread starter 93_Snake

The front brake rotors on a Cobra and GT are a direct fit....but not a direct interchange i.e. they will physically bolt right on using the same bearings, same calipers etc. The difference between the two is the Cobra has a thicker "hat" area then the GT/LX. The hat area is were the wheel studs come through the rotor. This area is thicker on a Cobra to compensate for the different wheel offset the cobra uses.
The GT/LX rotors will work if you are in a pinch BUT the front wheels will sit in enough that they rub the inner fender liners and control arms when turning sharp.
You can find '93 Cobra rotors on ebay quite often. Also check with LRS ( www.50resto.com ) or with PPI ( www.performancepartsinc.com ) as they usually have some available.

Most local parts stores carry them and I believe are the same price as the GT/LX.
If you buy the GT rotors i'll sell you some chrome pony wheels with 245/50/16 "Z" rated tires on them
j/k
but i do have the wheels and tires for sale

I would guess that the PPI ones are OEM ford ones, and 50 resto are aftermarket, such as raybestos, wagner, or bendix...I believe theyare availible at local parts stores, better ones like fisher or napa...can probably get them for you. plus, they usually have more knowledgeable countermen than the cheap places
