Not to deter you but just be sure you realize how expensive it is to do it right. spindles, calipers and pads, MC, booster, prop valve, axles, brackets, brake lines and fittings, fluids, E-brake cable, rotors, wheels, and tires... I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Anyways, add it up. Tires alone are at least 4x$125. It's definitely worth it but reading posts online it's easy to get the sense that it's budget friendly..

Word! Lol!

The mastercylinder/brake booster combo is whats killing you.

[Doug Hatton]

^Performance-wise or price-wise?

Doug, when I had the stock sn95 stuff the pedal feel was fine on my 93, I switched to the cobra brakes and my pedal felt like shit, you neeeeed to swap over to the 94/95 brake booster and m/c I have stock sn95 booster and m/c and the car will throw you through the windshield on a hard stop.

Yeah, I've already picked up the mc and line kit/ proportioning valve. Booster should be here any day.

Well I can give you my current experience. I did the PBR 99 GT fronts and the standard SN95 rears disc. I put the 94-95 GT MC and it stops OK but I think I need the Booster as well. It just doesn't "hit" hard enough for me.

[Doug Hatton]

It sounds like you guys are validating that I'm doing the right thing...

Any updates?

[Doug Hatton]

Not yet. I've received everything except the booster which was drop-shipped. I should have just bought one locally.... Not sure how much I'll get done on it this week. Maybe some if I put some work in in the evenings....

What line kit did you end up going with? Which MC?

[Doug Hatton]

'94/'95 MC, '94/'95 Booster, Maximum Motorsports #MMBAK-3 (3-2port kit), #MMBAK-6 (stock proportioning valve delete), and a FMS proportioning valve.

Sweet! I can use the Maximum Motorsports parts to keep from having to flare new brake lines. I'm installing the same parts.

I'm doing mine right now, except with 93 Cobra MC and booster. Would be cool to see how they compare.

and, just because I haven't gotten to show off to anybody yet
