    Brakes?

    My current set-up is "Drag Race Only" and Im thinking its time to change it up to some that are more "street/course" friendly.


    So, is anyone running "Big" brake kits on their Fox body? Whatcha got? post up some pics!

    If you dont want to spend a ton you can simply do an 03 cobra brake setup. Parts are plentiful and there are a ton of pads to choose from. Good pads even on stock brakes make a huge difference

    With the cobra front brakes they can be modified to run a 15” wheel with a small 5/16-3/8” spacer. I ran that setup for years.

    I do like the Cobra brakes. Even at 3800 pounds, they work real good. Id love to try them on a lightweight fox.
