Some Cobra Brake Upgrade Questions, what about rotors? Please Help

[Matt94GT]

I have a set of 13" Cobra front brakes, calipers, rotors, hardware on its way.

I want to know if SS lines made for a 94-95 mustang will work with these brakes?

Also want to know if crossdrilled rotors help that much? I was looking at Brembo but the dealer im dealing with has some called Magnums which he says most perfer.

Quote from him "Magnum is also top quality rotors, everyone likes them, they are also directional which has better internal cooling, I would go with the Magnum over the Brembo" he says the Brembos are not directional "The vents on the front rotors of the Cobra (BREMBOS) are curved, and the left and right rotors has curved that is curved to the opposite direction."

Does any of that make sence to anyone? The magnum ones are cheaper by about $20.00

Also if I were to buy these its a front and rear kit, will the cobra specific rotors work with my stock GT brakes? I would assume so since there almost the same right?

Thanks for your time,
Matt

Yes I like them, and if it was me at the counter getting ready to buy a product, I'd spend the $20 more for the good stuff, Brembo , Baer , Wilwood , and Stainless Steel Brakes. Most rotor's I buy come from Baer and Brembo .

Unless you do roadcourses and stuff often I wouldn't recommend slotted or cross-drilled rotors. The rotors will stay cooler and provide better braking but they'll warp more easily and won't last near as long.

The stainless lines are the shit! I have them on my 96 GT with 03 Cobra brakes. When you step on the brake pedal its like stepping on a brick. You get instant stopping force as soon as your foot hits the pedal.

I have the Mach 1 calipers, Brembo Cross Drilled rotors, and the Stainless Steel lines. They are the shi.... stuff!!! Money well spent, wouldn't change it for nothing.
Make sure you have the right bolts for the the lines to the calipers!!!

Guess, get the Stainless Steel hoses, I just had a rubber one bust on my........ it's a good thing the rears are independant from the fronts.........
