I'm going to do a brake job on 95 Cobra. When I checked the caliper's the seal that's on the piston that come's out of the caliper is missing on a couple of the piston's, if that is what they are called not sure just guessing. How hard is it to replace those seals? Also what are some good pads to use for a little more stopping power? This things heavy.
Should I replcae the brake line's how much will this help? Thanks for any input.

the pistons either pull or screw out... after that, the seal is basically a drop in place... they arent too difficult.. Raybestos pads (the $19.99 lifetime ones work just fine one most street cars. brake lines shouldnt need replacing unless they are cut or unless you're running too fast for brakes..

On the brake lines I was wondering how much stainless steel braided brake lines help out. Also were can I find those $19.99 pad's you mentioned for the Cobra Front brakes The least expenise I've found so far was around $60 or $70. Thanks

Auto Parts stores.. they have $20 lifetime pads... they work just fine for the street.. the performance pads have a much more aggressive face, and take out rotors way to quickly..
