Ordered remanufactured Cobra calipers

[Stanger00]

My cobra calipers were dragging a little on the passenger side and with the amount of time my car has sat over the years I figure it was time for a rebuild.

I heard that we could get these for a decent price from auto parts stores with core returns. I gave it a try.

I was actually tired of the COBRA on the calipers and was hoping I would be able to pick up Mach 1's or Bullitts.

I put in one order from autozone for 2 left as that is what they had available. When they showed up I got one of each.

I ordered one right from rock auto and got a dark colored machined flat caliper.

I got what I wanted and so far after I return and turn in the cores or sell the calipers I will be out of pocket $57 each (worst case) . Paint and decals is another 30 bucks which I had to do anyways.

If you decide to do this beware of stock and that you may get mismatched calipers.

Added a little bit of paint along with the decals.

Just have to bake them and install now.

I painted the brackets with an aluminum cast spray paint.

Thanks. Not much time wrapped up in this project either. Hard fining time between college, work and housework. I need a clone!

Very nice, those turned out great. I've thought about picking up some re-man's as well, but haven't made the gamble. I guess if you were to receive mis-matched calipers you could machine the Baer/Cobra/etc off.

How difficult has it been for others to get a matching pair?

Where did you get the horse?

Do you have any pictures of them installed? I'm wanting to do mine black with silver brackets too. Was wanting to see how they look on the car.

All I have for now. Ignore the rotor hub. I wired wheeled that paint off.

I got the horses from eBay. I think they were 10 bucks for a set of 4.
