I did a seach and found this.
"I was speaking with Stazi and were thinking of coming up with our own version of a Baer kit. He explained to me that that Baer brakes are just Cobra calipers with a different bracket. He said if he could get a hold of a baer bracket he could copy it and make it at his work. Both he and I can get realy good deals on Ford parts."

did anything ever happen with making this bracket??



if your talkinng about the current cobra how can the brakes be the same as the baer kit?the cobra brakes are made by brembo.



Close, but not quite. The current Cobra uses rotors made by Brembo, and calipers from an australian company called PBR. Of note is that the current Mustang GT also uses calipers from PBR, except they are aluminum vs. the cast iron of the Cobra calipers. If I were to go through all that trouble to make a custom setup, I would probably find a way to use the aluminum GT calipers, but that's just me. Even still I would probably go for a complete kit from Baer or TCE or whoever over putting together my own deal for a contour. It will be cheaper in the long run, and much easier.

Of course, there will be some that will say "but I want to do my own just for the experience, I don't care if it costs more" well, fine, by all means, but I think if I were in that boat, I'd go for a whole lot more than the Cobra calipers, maybe some large brembo 4 or 6 piston fixed calipers, maybe some 14" two piece rotors, you know, the crazy big stuff.
