Two piece 13" Cobra front rotors now available in two versions

[ac427cobra]

Just to review here:

So far we have the two following people looking for the heavy duty road race versions of the 2 pc rotors.

I'm sending PM's to you both to confirm interest in the road race set of 13" front rotors.

If you're not on this list and you're interested, let me know.

We are going to be gearing up here shortly running more rotors and hats. The 13" IRS rear kit is coming together as well. I'll be starting another thread for that.

Stay tuned!

Just curious if these have been made or not. I should have the cash together by the end of the month or the beginning of February.

About those 13" rears, what if Ive changed to live axle? shouldnt the spacer work the same? Is it a spacer that adds to the factory bracket or a completely new bracket?

These rotors will become more and more popular as people discover the one pc Brembo's from Tire Rack are no longer available! :read:

I honestly can't answer you regarding the 13" rear SRA brake question.

Sorry for the hold-up here guys. It's our busy season at work and my CAD guy is up to his eyeballs in alligators. But he's promised me we'll hit it after work one night this week.

The GT500 hats and rotor drawings are what's holding this whole project up. I get my best prices running all these parts together and then I can pass the savings on to end users.

I appreciate everyone's patience!

sure you can. are the rear 13" setup a spacer thats between the factory mount and the caliper basket? if so then it will work on Mach 1s. If its a all new bracket that for the IRS then obliviously wont work on a mach 1.. Thats all that a cobra swap to solid axle swap is. People use the Mach 1 brackets to retain the OEM cobra rear brakes

Bump for my question above this post concerning the 13" rear on Solid axle.

Also, mark me down for a set of front drag rotors.

Thanks! Jud

It's my understanding the Mach has the same rear brakes as a Cobra. Maybe someone can confirm that. I've got a Mach, but it has an IRS! oke:

If that is the case, theoretically this 13" caliper relocation bracket should work. If somebody with a Mach SRA wants to try the 13" kit when it's ready I'll gladly work with them and if it doesn't fit they can return it and get a full refund.

We are working on the parts as I type! We appreciate everyone's patience!

Hey bruce. If you need a test car, i have my 01 cobra with a SRA but kept my cobra brakes with using the Mach/bullit rear axle plates.

 

[Screamin03Cobra]

Bruce do you have a set of street/strip rotors available now? If not when will they be ready?

 

[yellow03vert]

Any updates on the rear 13" conversion? Also what would it cost for the street version? Thanks

Yes, the brakes are the same from a mach to a cobra. I have a mach 1 with a SRA and another with the IRS so I can tell you if it will work or not. I also have another that has a 96-98 cobra SRA in it, but it should be the same as the mach axle, just a little more narrow.

Yes, I have a pair of the 13" front Cobra ('94-'04) 2 pc street strip available right now. :-D Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

Sorry for the delay here guys, I've been on a Cruise for the last week. :-D

There was a minor issue with the original caliper relocation bracket and we redesigned it. The new parts are now at the machine shop being machined hopefully this week or next.

All of the rear 13" conversions are the same. There is no difference between street, strip or road race versions like there are with the fronts.

Pricing for the kit is going to be a bit more than I anticipated mainly because of the cost of the the aluminum rotor hats and the cost of the Hardcoating. (plating) These are very expensive parts to manufacture.

The kit will consist of two 13" directionally vaned, slotted, zinc plated rotors mounted on Hardcoated aluminum hats. (the rotors are actually a slight weight savings over the OEM Cobra rear rotors) Two zinc plated steel caliper relocation brackets with mounting hardware and installation instructions. The kit is going to be right about $645.00 plus freight. I hope to have completed kits ready to ship by late Feb. or early March.

That sounds like what I am looking for. Does this kit retain the stock parking brake?

Absolutely. That was one of the design requirements going into the making of the kit.

Last question does this kit weigh less than the stock brakes? You said there was a slight weight saving for the rotor I am trying to keep my unsprung weight down. Thanks

Yes, slight weight savings. Post #28 in this thread shows the rotor weights.

FWIW
