What brake set ups are you guys running with your altercation. I am deciding upon Wilwood 13" or 14" 6 pistons or something equivalent maybe save some cash. Cobra kit?

Go Wilwood 14". I only went with the 11" because I wanted to run a stock rim. Turns out you have to run a hub spacer on front to clear tie rod end on a stock rally with this kit. So I had to go 17" rims. Had I known that, I'd have ran the 14" brakes initially. Good luck.

I have been looking at the 03 cobra brake setup from mustangsteve. I haven't decided for sure yet. This looks to be a pretty economical way of getting 13" brakes.

Ha!Benno440, you definitely have a point there! Problem is that I am so cheap I'll look at anything that will get the job done for a decent price!

I have a set if viper calipers from a 1st gen. Wondering if I can make the drum hub, cobra rotor and maybe make a adapter plate to make it work. Just haven't heard of anyone using the calipers on the alterkation kit

Looks like the most effective economical way is gonna be Wilwoods. 12.19 6 pistons should do me right. But, it'll look a bit funny sittin' in 18" shoes. 13" one piece rotors might be my best cost wise, just over $1000.00. But 14" would look the best.

I wish I won that 30million dollar lotto...
