ColtSmoke Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Late Model Resto. has this break package http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/M2300X/1996-04-Mustang-2000-Cobra-R-Front-Brake-Rotor-Kit it is over $1,200.00 ($600.00 ea. Caliper) But includes other items, rotors/hardware & such. I look for the caliper itself to verify but could not confirm a price. If you look @ what the rotors and other pieces are worth it pans out to less than $1,200.00 (600.00 ea. caliper). Can I run this package?

TurboShortBus Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Shop around, as Summit and Jeg's sell that M-2300-X brake kit for $1200. It is CMC2 legal. I use it on my TTD car, and am very happy with it. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Ginsberg Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 FWIW, since you are just getting started down the path of CMC racing, my suggestion (designed to help you save a few sheckles now, with the goal of getting you on track sooner), is to put together a standard SN95 13" Cobra/PBR setup. Once you've really gotten to the point of out driving the Cobra/PBR configuration, spend the $$ wisely on a serious brake setup. While there is nothing wrong with the M-2300-X kit (both from a functionality and rules perspective), you would be miles ahead in both driving skill, and being able to afford a more race-oriented setup that is 100% CMC legal. You could likely put together the SN95 13" Cobra/PBR components for ~$300-$400, probably even less if you knew all the right places to look.

CMC#11 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I completely agree w/ Adam on this. The 4-piston calipers are nice but are down at the end of the list of things to do to the car. I just got a set after 5 years of racing. I switched to the StopTechs 2 events ago and they are super-sweet but definitely not needed for a new racer / build. If you are interested I have a set of caliper brackets, Cobra calipers (plus an extra set of brand new spare calipers), SS lines, and a few sets of PFC01 pads (with different pad life left). I also have rotors I can throw in but it might be more beneficial to get new ones instead of shipping these. Let me know if you are interested in the brake package and I'll put a price together and get pictures for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael don't sell those pads and rotors!! you need cobra brackets for 13in rotors and calipers, I don't believe you need the spindles but I could be wrong.

Adam Ginsberg Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I need SN95 Spindles to put that stuff on my '88 fox right? Correct. For a Fox3, find a set of 1994/1995 spindles. 1996-2004 spindles will work, too. You should be able to search around and find a set, or you can check on ebay - a 10 second search netted this set, with a BIN price of $190, and it includes hubs. Not a bad deal, IMO. You could also search for a complete SN95 brake setup like this - 2004 GT brakes. Eric Varner won a championship using that exact setup on the ol' #17. you need cobra brackets for 13in rotors and calipers, I don't believe you need the spindles but I could be wrong. Jeremy is correct about the brackets - sort of. If Michael has the Baer modified Cobra/PBR brackets, they will support both a 12" and 13" rotor. Simply moving the bracket to the correct bolt holes, as well as a slightly different spacer depending on what rotor he's been using (cut down Cobra, or 12" Crown Vic), allows the change in rotor. That equipment only works on SN95 spindles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboShortBus Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) FWIW, I will begin parting out a 2003 Mustang GT rolling chassis (no engine, trans, front fenders, or front bumper cover) in a week or two. It was hit in the side near the right rear, and it fubarred the passenger side of the axle, but the front chassis and suspension are fine (spindles, hubs, A-arms, etc.).

What about steel braided/Kevlar Break lines to go with my new calipers? [/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 WOW! I just looked and noticed there is no provision for non-OEM lines. I do not know of a single CMC car w/ OEM lines. I'll look to get the rules updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look to get the rules updated. What happened to if its not in the rules you can't do it? HAHA, This is why I am asking so many questions, I don't want to miss something. I almost used factory lines. Now I have to check is slotted & drilled Rotors Okay? CMC- 7.32.8 -2. Rotors shall be cast iron only and may be vented. No cross drilling or slotting is allowed. CMC2- 8.7 -.1 & -.2 Make no mention of slotting/ drilling Or Brake lines. $600.00 a wheel buys some fancy shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColtSmoke Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 I got the '95 GT spindle/hub. I am stopping @ the Autozone for '95 Cobra rotors, Fresh hardware, '95 Cobra power break booster/Master cylinder. When I get home, I am ordering the calipers Adam recommended w/ the optional steel braided lines. Break parts, Check! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMC#11 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I am stopping @ the Autozone for '95 Cobra rotors, Fresh hardware, '95 Cobra power break booster/Master cylinder. The master cylinders came in different bore sizes that change the pedal feel. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but "I think" the SN95 GT cylinder has a 15/16" bore, the 93 Cobra has a 1" bore, and the SN95 Cobra has a 1 1/16" bore. The 1 1/16" bore will have the most firm pedal of the group. I personally run the 93 Cobra cylinder and like it but it will all be personal preference.

MHISSTC Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Sorry, this is a pet peeve of mine... BRAKES are what you need to safely convert your race car's kinetic energy into heat. BREAKS is what your car does when it hits a concrete barrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was in charge neither would be allowed (and my car has a wing). JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
