[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 13377774, member: 6247"] People that are 'happy' with the OEM Cobra brakes typically are people that have not been exposed to cars that stop well. Are the two piston floating PBR front calipers that came on your Cobra decent? Yes, they are decent. Just like the suspension, the differential, the clutch, the exhaust system, the power level and cooling system are all decent. Everything is decent. Nothing on the car, as it came from the factory is clearly outstanding with the exception of possibly the power level. Ford is in the business to make money, putting expensive components on the car at the factory will raise the vehicle's cost. Raising the vehicle's cost puts the car over certain buyer's budgets and less units will be sold. This equates to Ford making less money. Ford is not in the business to do that. This is why people mod their cars because they came from the factory only 'decent'. They mod the power level, the cooling system, the exahust, the CAI, the suspension, etc. Only after they do those mods do they finally realize that their brakes also need to be modified as they are clearly the weak link. Brakes, for whatever reason, always seem to be the last thing people think about modifying. Power always seems to be the #1 mod. There is a reason that Ford put 14" Brembo brakes on the 2007 Shelby GT500. That reason was 500 hp. There are a LOT of Terminator owners that are still running the 13" OEM brakes with 500 rwhp or more. When I put the 14" Brembo front brake conversion kit on my car, it was immediately one of my top four favorite mods I did to the car. When you see serious brake mods on a car they usually include large Brembo calipers and two piece rotors. People that are more budget minded opt for Stop-Tech or Baer kits which sometimes include heavy one pc. rotors. But Brembo still is the undisputable top dog when it comes to brakes, which is why we offer them. When you want to run with and pass Z06 Corvettes on a race track driving a Mustang, you're going to need brake and suspension upgrades and we are here to help: [url=http://www.fulltiltboogieracing.com/index.htm]FULL TILT BOOGIE RACING[/url] :thumbsup::coolman::beer: [/QUOTE]
