Re: Anyone interested in Cobra adapter brackets

Yeah, that is the weird thing with them. However, that is how they are on the mustang from the factory so I can't imagine that there would be any issues with them being like that.

Performance wise, think about it this way: More of the 'meat' of the pad is concentrated at a larger radius from the hub centerpoint, and therefore will have a bigger impact on brake torque. the pad material near the center of the rotor isn't as effective. The cobra pad doesn't have any material that comes to the inside edge of the friction surface, but has a 'long' pad that covers a larger angle of the rotor and at a larger radius. I think this would give you pretty good braking torque.

down side: it looks weird. And the evo/etc pad probably lasts longer due to more overall surface area.

Let us know if you find something else!
