Brake upgrade mod idea....

[EHardy1971]

I've been thinking about this for quite awhile,and it looks like it would be a fairly straightforward bolt on.'95-up Explorer front brake calipers (which are twin piston) on SN-95 spindles.I measured the caliper bracket hole size/distance between the ones on my coupe,and the ones on Tonya's Explorer,and IIRC,they are the same.Has anyone heard of,or thought about this besides Marc and myself?:shrug:

What size rotors are on an explorer

10",same as the SN's on mine.

damn, you're cheap :jester:

How much are the explorer ones? I know you can get pbr dual pistons from newer model mustang gt's and I believe some of the v6 cars had them.

:yup: But mainly curious to see if they will interchange.

I can get the Explorer ones for around $10 each.I've been looking down there for the PBR's,but they don't have any SN's that new out on the yard.

I would hope they are bigger than 10". The 10" rotors were phased out in 1986 and Fox body cars went to an 11".

On a side note I think you can d0 13" Cobra's very cheap look around and you can buy the parts very reasonable I did mine for $300 about 10 years ago when most of that stuff was new.

I was thinking that as well.

I agree with Craig. If you are going to go to the trouble, do a 13" upgrade. You won't believe the difference it makes!

[EHardy1971]

I stand corrected,they are 11's.It stops good now with the 4 wheel disc setup I have,but with more go,you need more whoa! I'll probably wait and do 13"s,since I like the Bullitt front calipers.
