Re: PBR calipers

Hi Simon,
My only comment is that they are not what they are advertised to be. They are pre "99" not 99-04. They are still good calipers, but being the earlier model means they are smaller bore diameter. For that reason not preferred by me as they have less torque output.

Re: PBR calipers

These look identical to what was supplied by Roaring Forties for my kit which I purchased in 00/01. I think they'd be more than up to the task of a 2400 lbs car with good pads and rotors.

Re: PBR calipers

I agree with Rob. Earlier Mustang Cobras used these. I've built two Shelby Cobra replicas with this setup. Plenty of brake for a 2200lb car. The front and rear sets are available from Ford Racing Parts for about US$450. There rears have an integral parking brake.
