How big are the rotors on a 94-98 Cobra?
GT’s came with 11″ rotors in the front and I am not sure about the rears (may be 10″). 94-04 Cobras have 13″ fronts and 11.6″ rears. Used to be a running joke with my friends that I could stop better with my back brakes than they could with their fronts. very good price! 94-98 Front GT/V6 rotors are 10.84″ with 66mm caliper.
Where are the brake rotors located on a Mustang?
Brake rotors spin along with the wheels since they’re both mounted to the hub via the wheel studs. The brake rotor is high grade steel and will often get a coating of rust very soon after a vehicle is washed or sits in the rain. You’ll see this often with cars at a dealership waiting to be sold. This is nothing to worry about.
What kind of brake system do I need for a Mustang?
If you want no-holds-barred braking, then a big brake kit is your logical upgrade. The aftermarket rotors are often offered in two variations: slotted and cross-drilled. Both are a vast improvement over stock. Basically there are holes, or slots cut into the surface of the rotor.
What’s the minimum thickness for a disc brake?
Disc Brake Rotor Minimum Thickness (also known as Scrap Thickness) is the minimum safe working thickness of a rotor at which it must be replaced. Risk: Continued operation at or below Rotor Minimum Thickness can lead to Brake system failure. As the rotor reaches its minimum thickness, the braking distance increases, sometimes up to 4 meters.

What happens when you hit the brakes on a Mustang?
When you hit the brakes on your Mustang, the pistons in the caliper push on the brake pads, which causes the brake pads to clamp the rotors. The force of the pads on the rotors creates a lot of friction, and with friction comes heat.

How can I check the thickness of my brake rotors?
The rotor thickness should be measured using a micrometer. The thickness should also be gauged before and after the rotors have been turned, to check for proper thickness or depth specification. 1. Raise the front or rear of the vehicle, depending on the rotors that need to be measured, and secure the vehicle with the jack stand.
