Ford Mustang: Brake confusion???

Thanks, Serge. What do you think of stainless steel hoses, or are braided
hoses the same thing?

I do want to replace my calipers, too. I painted them silver about a month
ago, and the paint started to harden so one of the calipers looks
ridiculous. :-( And I suspect I might have a cracked caliper...

Cindy,
If you want to stay with the 11" front brake setup go with a set of the
aluminum dual piston PBR's that are on the 99+ cars. This will offer a lighter
caliper that has a larger clamping force area which will be an improvement over
the stock 94-98 cast single piston calipers.
If you want to go larger, the 13" Cobra and Bullitt brake setup from Jim at PPI
(Mustangparts.com) for $400 is an excellent deal. I am running the Bullitt kit
on our 97 and couldn't be happier.The kit includes both new calipers, rotors,
and hoses.

I did the PBR switch to my 95 GT and the brakes have never felt right since.
The pedal is really soft like there is air in the line (which there isn't).
Any idea as to why? I was wondering if the dual piston setup takes more
fluid than the single piston units which would require a master cylinder
change. I also added the braided lines so its not a rubber line swelling.
Since my car has ABS could that be messing it up? With ABS disabled due to
a bad sensor I could lock up the fronts with the stock brakes, but there is
no way I can do that with the PBR setup. (I have since replaced the abs
wheel sensor). I wish I had waited till I got my 17" rims and went straight
to the bullitt/cobra setup.
