Is that ducting aimed at the rotor's pad surface, or the center of the rotor? The first pic looks like it is aimed at the center of the rotor, while the center appears aimed at the braking surface.Originally posted by Bingo13

The pad wear could just be your driving style coupled w/ commuting...don't know... but when you've got a car this violent and heavy....plus they are just so DAMN much fun...the more fun ...the more pad wear:beer:

Are you thinking about maybe doing some on track stuff?...
You would love it I'm sure.
And you are already a respected member of an incredible resource...
this forum...
The on track guys here are amazing they have already done the homework...gone out and worn out stuff, broken stuff, over heated stuff, etc. etc
You just need too to target your brake mos to what you are going to do with the car, for example I know that the braided steel lines enhance feel....over the moon...and in a track situation you NEED THEM!!
But if your just streeting...maybe not...see what I mean...
the app. determines the direction you go.

excellent choice!
I'm embarrassed to admit I don't know if the traction control on a cobra functions like it does(IE w/ rear abs brake application) on a town car/crown vic/grand marquis....on these cars a lead foot(my mom) will actually wear out the rears before the fronts and yet the tires look great!
