Brakes/Wheels Details
Brembo '00 Cobra R Brakes. A noticable improvement in braking over the two piston, 11.5" diameter stockers. The Brembo rotors are 13" diameter and the aluminum calipers are four piston. The kit also includes very nice stainless braided brake lines by Goodridge. The rotors are powder coated a silver that comes very close to to body color.
The big discs really help fill out an 18" wheel.
No big brakes here in the rear. The rotors are Brembo Sport Series stock replacements. To make the stock caliper look less out-of-place compared to the fronts, I did a little work with a Dremel, files and sand paper to clean up the castings. I then hit them with several coats of Plasti-cote Brake Caliper Paint. The dust shields are powder coated the same silver used on the rotors.
Definitely a cleaner look than stock, though the brakes look a little lost in that wheel. Who knows? Maybe a set of Cobra rear brakes is in this car's future.
