[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 16064851, member: 6247"] The 13" Y2KR 4 piston Brembos are a very nice upgrade over the 13" OEM Cobra 2 piston floating PBR calipers. You have to remember that auto manufactures only spend the minimum amount of cash layout when it comes to brakes, suspension or even creature comforts for that matter. If you want the 'good stuff' you have to opt for the better/higher performance model or performance options, otherwise you're just going to get the bare minimum. The four piston Brembo calipers are infinitely more efficient than the PBR calipers because not only do they have twice as many pistons, they also don't have to rely on a poor floating caliper design to stop the car. This translates into more clamping power for the pads on the rotor with less pedal effort at the same time. In addition, when you hammer on the brakes you will feel a significant difference in your seat of the pants 'dyno'. Floating calipers are fine on the front of your mom's or your wife's grocery getting mini-van but not on something you would call a performance car. This is why high performance cars today have a fixed four, six or more piston caliper on the front of the vehicle. Look no further than Shelby, Corvette, or Porsche brakes and you'll see what I'm talking about. [/QUOTE]
