Need help from those who have 4-piston Brembo calipers

[nytebyte]

I want to get a set of 4-piston Brembo calipers, but I need to be sure they'll clear my 98 Cobra wheels I use in winter. It looks like there is enough room, but I've got to be sure.

I need a favor:
If you have 4-piston Brembos and the stock 03 Cobra wheels, could you measure the clearance between the caliper and the wheel spokes. I'm specifically looking for the average and minimum readings you take.

For example, on my 03 Cobra wheels with the stock PBR calipers, there is 7mm average and also 7mm minimum clearance between the wheel spoke and the caliper. On the 98 Cobra wheel, it varies from 7mm to 6mm at its shortest point.

Also, I'd like to eventually test-fit one of my 98 Cobra wheels if anyone is willing to let me.

I can let you borrow a caliper for a time (and a rotor too, i guess) but I put the cobra pbr calipers back on for the winter because the bullitt wheels with my snow tires dont clear the brembos.

the 00R came with a 98 cobra wheel&tire assembly as a spare.

if you can wait another month and a half, i'll have the brembos back on in march sometime most likely, and i can bring the car over then

Thanks John, I'd appreciate that.

I can wait until you're ready.

Where are you getting them from??? and how much??

Not sure yet, but I'm open to suggestions.

I already have a set of SS lines. I just need the calipers, pads and rotors. I just need to be sure my wheels are going to fit first before buying them.

If wish these silver calipers were around when I did mine. If you don't need the rotors or the lines, it's not a bad deal.

Otherwise they sell the standard kit with black calipers, s/s lines and rotors, but save $75 and get plain rotors if you plan on doing any open track events.

They both clear the 98 and 03 Cobra wheels on my car

If you get a hold of Brembo they will more then likely e-mail you a dimension sheet on there brake kits. I tried to get a hold of them earlier for you but got the reps voicemail. If i get a hold of him i will forward you the dimension sheet.
Thanks
