Re: Anyone interested in Cobra adapter brackets

I actually have the early cobra caliper. Reason being, the piston diameters are about the same as DSM (~30mm i believe). I like keeping the brake pedal pretty stiff and have experience firsthand how your pedal ends up mushy (more travel for the same braking power) when you go bigger with caliper piston diameter and keep master cylinder bore the same.

I haven't investigated pad size but I believe these to be a bit bigger, and obviously the increase in braking torque and cooling capacity due to the bigger rotor. I can't imagine this setup won't be sufficient for even serious track use.

Although I realize looks and 'cool factor' are important to a lot of people.
