cmsismyname Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Is there a difference? At autozone 01 calipers cost more and have a bigger core charge so i'm assuming there is some sort of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iRoush Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 yes there's a difference. 94-98 calipers have (2) 38mm pistons and the 99-04 have (2) 40.5mm pistons. They also physically look different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmsismyname Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Is the piston size difference worth the extra 58 bucks per caliper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsismyname Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Also if i get 94-95 cobra calipers will I still have to modify the spindles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRoush Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Is the piston size difference worth the extra 58 bucks per caliper?bigger piston = more braking pressure so I'd say yes.Also if i get 94-95 cobra calipers will I still have to modify the spindles?where'd you see you have to modify the spindle? my 98 didn't... I'm not saying you're wrong I just never heard of that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that applies to the cobra brakes to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmsismyname Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Ahhhh makes sense now, so i'm at $350 for a cobra brake swap with a master cylinder if i can confirm that I'll have everything I need doing it this way I'll hopefully be doing this sometime soon.

ttocs Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I though there was a different bracket that was needed as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

330CubeGt Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Check out RetailMeNot.Com or somthing like that, If buying online through Advanced Auto Parts sometimes they have stoopid good cupons you can use on that site. I use them all the time and get $50 some orders at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number Tew Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 i'm on their email list. they always have killer deals on line. You might be waiting for a while for some calipers. They rarely have them in stock. I got super lucky when I bought mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnyxCobra Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 this is very interesting, I never would have guessed they were different as they seem to look the same from the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SniveTroll Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Some of the remanned calipers be prepared to retap the banjo bolt holes. Lots of folks over tighten them. Pbrs are soft and threads pull. Sent by smoke signals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
