[badd9t1gt]

papa tom is doing a set of 04' cobra brakes for his new notch that he picked up...

I will be doing the front Cobra brakes next week on my '90 Notch. I have 03/04 front calipers/rotors, however I will be doing Lincoln rear axles with 5 lug disc.

What kind of help were you seeking?

You may have to change out the banjo bolt inorder to fit your stock brake line. I had to do this when I went from 02GT brakes to 03 Cobra brakes. Other than that I believe it should fit perfectly on the fronts. I didnt do the rears because I didnt see the need but I heard there is another bracket you need to make it work.-Shane

i know the front arent too big of a deal, but i wondering about the rear. im pretty sure i need to change my master cylinder do i need to change my brake booster as well? and is doin the proportioning valve a big deal?

I changed out the master and the booster from the same car. I got it out of a 2001 V6 mustang. and yes you need a portioning valve.

get on maximum motorsports....they have kits for these swaps that includes parts and such. pretty cheap. you do need a new master cydinder...booster should be okay, or you can go with a manual conversion..a new prop valve is not required, but you should do it. if you do you need to eliminate the stock prop valve

I don't have cobra brakes on my fox but I do have 94 brakes. I bought brackets to relocate the brake calipers inward and I think there are brackets to mount the cobra calipers. Try looking for some and it all should go together easily. Just reuse brake lines and mix and match the fittings. I did just that on my fox since I have an early fox and there aren't any kits for the rear.
