[QUOTE="JoeAsheville, post: 154262, member: 4116"] [b]Stock brakes are fine for me[/b] Before spending some serious coin on Baer brake upgrades or Brembo calipers, try some stickier brake pads. I upfit my old 95 Cobra with Ferodo pads from Advance Auto Parts, and that was all I needed. I'm very satisfied with the stock brakes on the car, check my thread "Learning the handling on the 03 Cobra"... At last check, Brembo calipers were going for around $750 a pair in some spots while the Baer units were $3500 (basic upgrade) to $7000 for a pair of Extreme+ Alcon 6-pot calipers. A couple more things to keep in mind. Even the Saleen S281E only has Alcon 4-pots, it keeps stock GT rear brakes. Any time calipers are upgraded, say buh-bye to economical pad choices...pads for those Baers are not cheap. The Brembos [B]might[/B] be, since they probably have a Ford part number (they were stock on the '00 R model). Hope this helps... [/QUOTE]
