    Brake Options and Spindle Requirements

    There seem to be many combinations of brakes listed for the Roadster Kits. The 11" Ford front brakes included in the Complete kit. Wilwood Brakes and 13" Ford Cobra brakes. The Complete kit also includes FFR two piece spindles. This clearly implies that both the 11" supplied and the Wilwood option fit the FFR spindles. However when looking at the 13" Cobra option the discussion always leads to SN95 spindles.

    So first question, will 13" Cobra brakes work on FFR spindles with out a special adapter plate?

    Second, if a plate is needed does FFR make one?

    Third, are the parts needed to use SN95 spindles included in the kit?

    94-04 Cobra brakes will bolt straight up to the Factory spindles. The mounting locations and hub are the same between our spindles and the SN95.
    If you get the base kit you get an adapter that works with both the Fox spindles and the SN95 (two sets of mounting holes). The complete kit comes standard with the FFR spindles unless you order a pin drive set-up, then it comes with SN95.

    Thanks Jim exactly what I was looking for... now I will go out on a limb and assume the same applies to the new Coupe?

    Yessir, same spindles, same options, except pin drive coupes retain the standard FFR spindles due to the larger wheel wells.
