i know people r doing this, just wondering if its a big diffrence, costly and what is needed, i have stock brakes with cross drilled and sloted rotors and hawk pads now.... any info would be appreated thanks in advance :??:
gt500 brakes on a 03 cobra
- Thread starter mod mod t56
- Start date
The rotor is an inch larger, the larger the diameter the less force needed to stop hence quicker stopping performance and less heat. Plus the GT500 caliper has larger pistons then the cobra R brembo. Thank about it you have caliper designed from a 4000lb GT500 stopping a car that weighs 3300lbs. Also recommend braided steel brake lines which are big improvement over the rubber oem.
so whats needed to make it work what should i expect to pay
My Dad just brought a '13 home, going to put my 18" AFS Cobra wheels on his front end sometime soon to check the clearance. I'll try to remember to post in here when I do.
There is a ton of info on this on the Vintage Venom site.
SN95 Mustang: Shelby GT500 Brake and Wheel Conversion Kit — Vintage Venom - Vintage Mustang Disc Brake Kits
Need the conversion kit, the brakes, and wheels with the correct offset. If you have any interest, I have the kit and am selling it. I started the project but have now changed directions and need to let it go.

The 2013s are a 6 piston now. They're alittle bit bigger than previous shelbys. Pretty cool if it fits under your 18 AFS. That would be a nice upgrade.
I've actually wondered if the '13 6 piston and rotors would bolton to the vintage venom kit made for the 07-12 gt500's? I have the VV kit and it is an absolutely great kit. Very easy to do and the brakes are a definite improvement.
