Man this video was so perfectly done everything was so clearly presented

this was super helpful. i was gonna spend about 1,400 on a big brake kit but this seems to be a way better option for me with limited track time. thank you for this video!!

I’ve watched a few others on this swap after watching yours. You do a great job explaining everything. Thank you for the help.

Bro made this video so simple and easy to understand. Thank you so much.

I'm gonna put this kit on my supra. Thank you for the crisp and clean video

Excellent stuff - thanks for the heads up on the S&S kit. I sourced my ATS calipers from marketplace for $200 and I pulled a set of '43' rear calipers from a Taurus at the local yard for less than $40. Looking forward to seeing how this works on my 2004 GT.

Great info and glad you mentioned the Taurus calipers

This popped up in my feed, now I'm tempted to do this to my foxbody instead of the 03 Cobra brake upgrade.

I'm really enjoying your videos. Your car seems to be getting setup very similar to mine, with like goals. Although, I am not nearly as far along as you. Stock 94 GT 5-speed convertible, "budget grand tourer". Just welded in the stiffler's fit system last night, and picked up BOSS 302 Brembos for $120 locally. Bought a slightly used set of high performance summer tires too. 14in rotors on the way, along with solid steering rack bushings. Eibach front and rear swaybars showed up yesterday too. I share this car with my parents ( both 60 years old) and live in WV, surrounded by great driving roads. I have to walk a fine line between making performance modifications...and not doing anything to upset my wife and my parents experience. lol Your car seems to be setup in a way that would be the solution for what I'm looking for....while keeping it pleasant for them as well.

Haven’t seen you before on KZfaq but after watching this video I’m subscribing. I liked how you explained everything and went into detail and added the part numbers with list of everything needed. I have a 86 Foxbody with these ATS calipers. 306 Turbo, aluminum heads and on and on Also have a 01 Cobra but currently working on the Fox. Cobra has been sitting I’ll probably sale it I don’t drive it but anyways good video bud.

You convinced me to do this to my 00 Mustang

Well done. I recommend this upgrade not just for the increased braking performance, but to eliminate the front PBR Cobra caliper which has a very poor brake pad anti-rattle design. Only the bottom of the pads use an anti-rattle clip, while the top of the pad has no clip but rather the pad just rides in the caliper bracket slot. Brake grease in those slots and plenty of tension on the lower anti-rattle clips (LRS-2296A) will keep the pads from rattling for about 6 months, then, you will need to regrease and bend out the anti-rattle clips to maintain tension on the pads and keep them from rattling. I have had front and rear Cobra brakes (rear M-2330-M) on my daily driver 2001 Mustang GT for 10 years, so trust me on this one. I will say that braking performance with front and rear Cobra brakes on a new edge GT is exceptional for a daily driver, however the front caliper pad rattling will drive you nuts, especially if you own a convertible, which I do. Also of note and in favor of this Brembo upgrade is the fact that the 2003-2004 Cobra and Mach I calipers are really for 12” rotors which is why so much rotor is not touched by the pad on a Cobra 13.1” rotor. If any Ford owners know how to permanently get the rattling out of the stock PBR calipers, please let me know or I am going to perform this mod for my daily driver just to eliminate the PBR death rattle.

I kinda wish you touched on the potential need for the MC to be replaced to one that uses bigger lines to accommodate the braking pressure which would be needed to efficiently use the new brakes. Been on the forums all day looking at that very issue since my 94 uses 11/16 lines and would need to be upgraded to 1" or 1.1" lines and MC found on the 99-04 Cobra/GT models. The 79-95 GT/v6/Cobra all use smaller lines and a different brake assisted boost system and depending on what year a person owns those variables also can change. I guess at the least this comment addresses it. So you folks at home DO YOUR HOMEWORK before you try this mod that said it is pretty easy to do and very worth it.

This video was super detailed and helpful. Looking to give this a try in the future!

Great video and how to save money without paying that Brembo price if you were to order it exactly for that car , 👍, You didn't mention it but that set up will definitely stay cooler under heavy breaking & less brake fade , I recently did a drum to disc conversion on my 1994 F350 and it also used a Cadillac caliper, Idk if Brembo was making the calipers or not ,So if anyone is doing that conversion look up( Graveyard Broncos ) for the complete kit & save money, Some welding needed for the brakets to the axle tube.

Dude such great info, thanks for this video I had got the Brembo kit a month ago but couldn't figure out the rear brakes or the wheel options

Rear Cobra brakes use a 11.65in. and are vented which is worth the cost of that upgrade. That said with the stock brakes with the Taurus caliper upgrade I'd still gut the stock proportioning valve with the kit from Maximum Motorsports and add an adjustable proportioning valve. Wilwood has a valve that bolts right in place of the union in the line on the right side of the engine compartment on the firewall.

Really well done video! Thanks for explaining why the need for Taurus rears and giving all the piston diameters. Very comprehensive and very much appreciated! I’m looking into piecing this together right now and previously had my eyes on the Ford Racing kit. I’m running 18” AFS Mach 1 wheel on my 03 and would very much like to keep them so hopefully they give me enough clearance over the stock 17”? Worst case I’m using a wheel spacer and ARP studs I guess?

I subscribed because of the job you did with this viddy. FANTASTIC!!!

Genius thanks bud!

AWESOME video! Never knew this kinda thing existed! Wish I could adapt this to an svt lightning though!

I'm not sure if you've seen, but Lincoln Mark VII rear brakes are absolutely huge as well. That might be another cheap rear brake upgrade.

Great video!!!! Every informative and to the point. Just subscribe.

Nice job. I do have a question. You mentioned gain in pedal travel due to larger calipers. i don't see how that would be correct as Hydraulic fluid does not compress. Unless you have air in the lines. One thing that comes to mind is the stock master is in the car type to move a lot more fluid. You master acts as a pump and you are now trying to move a lot more piston diameter. That would be why your pedal got softer. I think upgrading the master to something with a larger piston diameter would help with the extra pedal travel.

Thank you bro!! Amazing breakdown video! Think this is def the direction Im gonna go with my sn95 now. One thing I'm thinking, and will have to do a little research on, you mentioned softer pedal feel, gotta be a master cylinder upgrade out there that would probably help with that🤔

I’ve had this set up on my car for years now, you can use 11-14 none Brembo mustang rotors which are bigger then the cobra 13” rotors to have more pad contact on rotor (Cobra rotors are smaller causing some of the brake pad to not ware evenly) and avoid having to use the spacer s&s requires on the inside of the rotor for 13” cobra rotors

My god that make your mustang slower with GM parts was priceless 😂😂

How can I measure my existing rims to know if they will work with this upgrade or not?

Have mine off in powdercoating and found out Powerstop sells the Taurus calipers powdercoated!

Is this kit capable of accommodating a 17" wheel, or does it require an 18" or larger wheel?

Fan Freakin 'A' Tastic! Great! Thanks.

I think you need to upgrade your master cylinder to improve your pedal feel. I know the fox cobra upgrade kit came with booster and master to correct for the upgraded brakes front and back. I started with the original cobra upgrade on my fox station wagon, now I've upgraded to the cobra r brembos and the taurus calipers will be the final piece. If it turns out that the ats brakes provide significantly more stopping power then I may try them. The internal crossover may be a concern because the force used to clamp the rotor is also trying to separate the two caliper halves. Great video. Nice job!

Super helpful video (like all of your videos), thanks for the details and tips to ensure that this particular upgrade produces the best possible results! Is it possible to adjust the rear braking bias (if using the 38mm rear GT/COBRA calipers) back to 30% using an adjustable proportioning valve (passenger side firewall unit) when upgrading to the ATS Brembo calipers in a Fox chassis 79-93 application? Does the 43mm Taurus rear caliper upgrade apply to 94+ Mustangs or 99+ Mustangs only or all Mustangs from 79-04? Surprising that no one else talks about the brake bias change with the larger pistons in the ATS Brembo calipers. I purchased the S&S engineering adapters, great folks to work with! I'll have some actual track testing/experience that I can share once I get the setup installed in my '88 LX 5.0 and on the track next summer. I'm currently running the 13" "COBRA" rotors with MACH 1 calipers (same as the COBRA calipers), '93 COBRA booster, and 1" 93 COBRA master cylinder. Looking forward to trying out the change on the track. May try Hawk HPS pads instead of the ceramic pads though or may try out both since they are so easy to change with this setup.

Thanks for the info .you got a new subscriber

Yeah well done geek good job

Hell of a video

could i use the 43mm rear caliper with the Lincoln 73mm front caliper? 5 lug conversion no sn95 spindles. but using 93 cobra booster and and matching mc.

Great video! I am adding this setup to my '85 GT and Cobra rear disc for strictly endurance racing use. Since Repair Geek indicates the bias is similar to stock, does anyone know whether the stock brake distribution block on the '85 Mustang will work ok with this upgraded brake setup? I recognize that I will need to install a '87-93 GT booster and a 1 1/16" MC.

That whole rear rotor has paint on it!

Isn't going to provide much stopping power over the factory cobra setup. First, it's the same diameter rotor so leverage is not increased over stock. About the only two benefits you get are larger pad surface area (a meager increase in brake torque) and higher thermal capacity and more even pad wear with 4 pistons versus 2 from stock. If you really want a big stopper, get a kit with a 14" or even a 15" rotor, though different wheels are usually required for this.

What about using stock cobra rear calipers?

Technically all you have to do is drill out the spindle to a 14.3mm opening and it all bolts up without the kit. You will have to either machine the contact area to spindle 2mm or space the rotor out 2mm for perfect Fitment.

Great channel super helpful are your fr500s 17s??

The link you shared on amazon for the braided brake no longer there, can you recommend something else that will work

Hi, just wanted to make sure, so the rotor listed in the description will fit in the front with the ats calipers correct? I am looking into doing this and want to make sure it will fit. Also, maybe stupid question but do you need brake pads for the tarus calipers in the rear?

What size are the rotors? I want sport rotors, but you linked OE style smooth rotors and they don't list the size.

Super video...

Think link for the braided brake lines are no longer shows, what lines are you using?

Wouldn’t you be able to use a proportioning valve to fix the bias?

94-2004 cobras also have the same rear caliper as the Taurus,

I need a link to the front braided brake lines to use for 95 mustang gt. The links listed aren’t working help please ?

Do you have a link to the spare tire wheel and tire you bought?

Just an fyi for anyone that needs it, test fit before paint. Also this setup does not work with 03-04 cobra factory wheels without a huge spacer. I am going to grind down the face of the caliper a little to hopefully clear.

Struggling to find these rotors. Do you have a part number for the set you installed? Link in the description brings me to a different set on Amazon. Appreciate all the details in your content. Thank you.

Nice content. Is there a steering knuckle upgrade to use with that 4 piston caliper for classic full size ford cars. What is the bolt pattern?

Wait so we need the 11.5" rear cobra rotors with the Taurus calipers in the rear? Just want to double check before I pull the trigger on the rears. I already have the brembos up front and need to fix the variance

Looks good man. what size rim you use on the front? what offset clears the Caliper?

With the Rear Taurus Calipers, do you need to install the 11.65 rotor conversion bracket still, or can you put these calipers on with a cobra rear rotor? I am not wanting to pull the rear axles out....again.

Did this make the brake pedal any deeper, as in you have to push the pedal down further than before the upgrade? Increasing slave piston area will require more fluid. Did you replace he master with a larger one?

I'm in the middle of this upgrade (amazing video!) and am currently wheel shopping. Anyone have any idea of the offset that will fit these?

I contacted Russell for braided brake lines and I’m confused. Their first email response to me merely said to check their catalog and answered none of my questions. I followed up earlier today stating that they do not have a listing for 03/04 Mach 1s and asked if there was a part number not shown in their catalog. I also asked if their lines would fit/work with ATS calipers….they said I’ll have to build my own set! 😫 I have an 03 Mach with traction control, would the part number you used work for me?

I wonder if this would also work on a crown victoria

I install cobra rear calipers on my fox body mustang a Taurus calipers are bigger

Just Bought A Pair 200$ Shipped 😎

I want to upgrade my 06 mustang brakes ( rotors/calipers/pads) I would so appreciate any recommendation! You know your stuff brother. I was looking at the z23 but not real impressed unless you think differently?

Would this be an upgrade for ford explorer 8.8 brakes

Love it did it , I noticed a softer brake pedal , which I figured would be the case with more pistons up front . Would it be wise to upgrade brake booster ? Or just run it ?

Is it worth going with the 11.65" rear rotors or do the stock GT ones make full contact when you have the Tauros caliper?

Would the ATS brembo’s clear 17x9 wheels? I have the oem Tri-bars on my 95 GT but I’ll be switching them over for Cobra R wheels soon. Regardless both would be 17x9

I cannot find the caliber bushings. Can you send me the link?

Out of curiosity would it be possible to use this brake setup designed on a Mustang on a 2000 Ford Ranger with stock front and 8.8 Explorer disc brake rear end?

i wonder if this will work on a 08 crown vic…could be nice

what are your wheel specs to fit this

do you need to do a 5 lug conversion?

Can you use that rear caliper with 95 gt rotors?

I cant find SSE Engineering on Facebook

sub'd good info! Thanks!

Question does those brake lines require bubble flare? Or inverted ?

so is there a rotor I can use if i need to use the stock gt sized rotors . Id love to go to a vented rotor, but I cant fit that behind my rear drag wheel?

would sve series 1 wheels clear the breaks?

I installed a 5.0L on my vehicle, I’m looking at upgrading my brakes any idea if this will fit an ‘08 Ranger?

Have you ever seen these brakes on the front with 17” racestars? The small 4” ones, thanks. I searched online a few times with no results

Is all the brake lines stocks lines

I'm curious would this work for a 6th gen Ford Taurus for front brakes? This would help a lot on my 2013

How’s the brake pedal feel and initial bite? Does it make a huge difference or just marginal/compromise besides getting the willwood or bear breaks? I’d rather by once cry once hahaha 😭

There are cheaper Cobra calipers besides SVE. And BREMBOs are very expensive. Those Cobra calipers stop HARD.

Are they cast iron or aluminum?

Forgot to ask what thickness the rotor spacer is? Thanks for the informative video.

Where can i get the front caliber inserts from to bolt to the spindle

I run the same brake setup

How well do these calipers work with stock foxbody 87-93 brake booster?

So just to clarify, if I were to use the ATS calipers in tandem with the Taurus calipers, and a 1 1/16 master cylinder, I would NOT have to use an adjustable prop valve as i would retain the “stock” bias with the Taurus calipers ? Or would I still need an adjustable prop valve? Have a foxbody btw but considering this setup

Will these work on a 1967 Camaro I want to do a brake upgrade not sure which route to take

Did you upgrade the master cylinder, if so, what did you go with?

Hello, I've ordered the parts for the front, but do you know what is needed to be able to mount to the Taurus rear calipers onto a Foxbody (91) rear end? Great video, thanks for making it!

Awesome video. I read the s&s bushings can also be used for the XTS calipers and run 14” rotors. I am building a fox with coyote supercharged. I want stopping power but moving up to 14” could create a rear caliper problem. Do you know which rear caliper would work to keep the bias as intended ?

I have a 94 convertible will I need to update the master cylinder?

I've been seing mention of a slightly larger rotor, 13.1 or .2 i think? Is there a Mustang/Cobra rotor that will center and face the full pad so there is no material on the outside creating a lip? And also you rotor link goes to a 14" rotor. Seems incorrect. Also, the Banjo bolts link looks nasty. No copper bushings and looks like cast garb. any link to a better banjo bolt? Can you use the stock Cobra brake hoses with a new Banjo?

After a year how do these hold up? I want a set of big brakes eventually but cant justify spending 1.5K+ on just 1 set..
