[QUOTE="jrgoffin, post: 16064339, member: 4360"] This is absolutely the way to go for probably 99% of the Cobra owners out there - an upgraded front caliper. They obviously must be accompanied by good pads, rotors, and of course, quality tires, but most have no need for larger rotors up front. Baer makes a fantastic caliper in both [b][URL='http://baer.com/13-Front-Track4-Brake-System-4261276.html']4-[/URL][/b] and [URL='http://baer.com/13-Front-Pro-Plus-Brake-System-4261209.html']6-piston[/URL] that mate well to their two-piece (lighter) rotors that can be added to all four corners. Just because the PBR calipers have two pistons vs. four (i.e., "half"), does not mean they are [i]half[/i] as efficient. The reality is that those calipers are actually decent for most of the cars out there, and the stopping distances they provide are not substantially reduced compared to something like the '00R Brembo caliper. What is improved is feel and resistance to fade due to the solid (axial) mounting. Here's a chart right from the '00R program (that is on my site), comparing the 'early' PBR calipers with the 38mm pistons, to the 'late' versions with 40mm pistons (same as on the Terminator), as well as the Brembo set: [ATTACH=full]1531709[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
