Brake Upgrade Q's

[LMH]

Gordon did my rear brakes with parking brake.
It looks like you have Mustang II front suspension/spindles, so there's lots of brake kits available. The rear will be a 8.8 disc conversion.

I would suggest you flush your brake system first. I did that on a Cobra and it was night and day differences.

It went from slowly stopping to sliding the tires.

Last summer I bought a vacuum bleeder. Takes about thirty minutes to bleed the brakes by myself.

Great must have tool.

Those 11 1/4" rotors were for a 3500 lb car. Your Cobra weights about 2500 lbs.
If your are not racing you probable have sufficient brakes.

I am planning on doing some track days because I want to experience this car to the fullest. The existing brake setup is great for driving around town but not good for much else. They feel just fine as is, but I know that doing laps at speed would put a lot of strain on these.
