[1svtfan]

~~ 1/1/2007 FYI. These are back and available at BuyFordRacing.com. They are $699 now, and include pads and HW. In case anyone is interested...

After reading posts by several folks that this should work, I took a chance and ordered them. They work great. Basically a Cobra R caliper in silver for $600. My car only has 2000 miles on it so the rotors were fine and I had just put stainless lines on it.

Just mounted the caliper:

Installed:

Took it out to bed the pads and it stops great! Looks kind of low key too. :coolman:

so they bolt directly on?


I need new brakes next month....

M10x1.0 by 29mm or also refered to as M10x1.0 Long

Bought them from XRP, part number 494413.

About $20 shipped.

Got them from Steve on this board at Tousley Ford. Cost plus 10% made them about $620 to my door.

He's a great guy, with great service. I should note that they bolt right up with the factory HW, and take about 30 minutes to install.

My package from Ford Motorsport was missing the pads and caliper HW, so it cost me $60 from Brembo around the corner for the (4) pins and pad shims, and LargeOrangeFont supplied the pads.

Steve is looking into in now. Ford may have quit including them with the "sudden increase" in purchases of this kit. :shrug:

IF you only get the calipers you need the following:

2 banjo bolts and washers part number 494413
2 brembo anti rattle springs part number 20.4196.71
4 brembo brake guide pins part number 20.5116.24
FMS Brake pads part number M-2001-X

What makes this a deal is the pads and HW, and reusing your rotors and lines. If you have to buy the hw and pads, you might as well buy the Cobra R kit for ~$895 from Summit. I had pads, and wanted silver calipers... Steve is looking into why mine shipped missing HW and pads. I'll post as soon as I get an answer.

Literaly. Same (2) stock bolts. The factory rubber hoses probably would have worked even, but I already had stainless.

So my Russell Lines should work. Can you have Steve contact me or send me his contact info?
