And how do you like it?

I am starting to get ideas for my 4 wheel manual drum to 4 wheel disc swap.  Lets hear your combos and any comments you have on them.  I would like to hear about the entire system :2thumbs:  Thanks guys :cheers:

I've since painted the calipers black.

The red was a bit obnoxious, but the black is a bit too subdued.

I might repaint them silver or dark grey before I'm through.

Sorry about all the fingerprints and flash glare.  :eek2:

Remember the average response time to a 911 call is over 4 minutes.

The average response time of a 357 magnum is 1400 FPS.

I am torn I was originally planning on the same exact setup you got, but I have become enamored with the front Viper brakes, but it is a lot more for that.  I will most likely go with the rear pbr setup either way, I just think the Viper brakes in front get serious "cool" points but you certainly pay for it.

Where would you get all the parts?  :shruggy:

No. The Cobra brakes won't WOW everybody. They are definitely a budget friendly option, and mine is a budget build. They should be more than capable of stopping my Cuda with authority. They certainly beat the look of a stock 11" disk, or worse, an 10" drum behind a big modern wheel.

http://chucker54.stores.yahoo.net/caadki.html  they have kits depending on the rotor size and new or old viper calipers.  The calipers new are big $$ I want to say it was $1,500-$2,000 for JUST the calipers.

:iagree:  They are a great option and MUCH cheaper than the Viper setup :scratchchin:  It will probably come down to how I feel the day I pull the trigger and order the stuff.
