Gotta sell the terminator, need advice

it kills me too being i own a "bad ass foxbody pushing 500 hp" with 4 lug and stock brakes. i guess i was just more worried about getting there than i was about stopping. as far as four lug... whats the problem??? its not like you need five lugs for anything other than sub 8 second runs(which you need a lot more than 500hp for) or for more wheel choices. truth is its just a money thing. it was "put nitrous on the car, or buy brakes". what would you have done? then again after looking over my receipts from last year, with the $750 i spent on filling my nitrous tanks over and over again, i could have bought aerospace brakes. but id just rather be fast, since i cant afford to do both.... yet. if you are like me, your car is never done, and there is a reason for everything if you are serious about foxes go here www.corral.net. you WILL find what you are looking for.

Well, going 5 lug really does not matter, just gives more wheel choices but the brakes are important. I had a 93 back in 94 with the standard for the day bolt on parts and I know from experience that one slow down from 120 to 40 will get the brakes smoking and hardly working. The cobra's come with decent brakes but could always use better pads. I'm not much of a drag racer but I like the mountain roads so the brake department is important to me. Do you have 500 hp with the drums in the back?

yup... and it sucks. i agree with you... i just never had the funds for quality brakes. its not by choice.
