OMG 13" Rotors....

[Royal-T-Ltd]

If some of you may recall .... a while back i was contemplating which brand of aftermarket brake kit to buy. Well after alot of searching, I decided to call up Baer for one of their tried and proven kits.... and they finally got here.

Customer Service [Rick Elam] A+...
Sheer look / cosmetics A+

i cant wait to install them. I will try and snap a few pictures of the kit to post later today.. These are gonna look great coming from behind my new 18's [whenever they get here]

great to hear you decided on the 13" kit
I dont have it on my gn but my mustang w/ cartech turbo has it and let me share this with you I have the race pads 13" front 12" rear if you didnt have the seat belts on you'd head first through the windshield
my 89 vette has 996 tt posrshe big reds and I appreciate it
Im working on something for my gn/gn's I was leaning towards a fabbed kit with 13" vette brakes myself, have the 1le brakes and a arms and b body spindles I prob wont go this route though....cant stop driving the gn long enough to fab it to fit

I also have the Baer brake kit on my Mustang and love it, looks and performance.

I don't mean to hi-jack the the thread but have you guys heard of people complaining about not be able to launch as good with rear rotors? I guess they don't hold the car under boost as well?

Just thought I'd see what you guys thought.

PS you can also send me the pics and I can host them for you.

 

[Royal-T-Ltd]

i've heard that before. that's one reason i didnt opt for the rears...







.....the other is money $$$ I'll send u pix in a minute.

I can hold 7 PSI, without really trying. 02 Camaro brakes all around.

There are way too many street/ race cars running discs all around, for that statement of rear discs not holding boost, well, IMO.

You know your right about to many street/race cars having disc all the way around and not having them perform well. Such a simple answer to that question, but I guess sometimes thats all it takes.
I guess I'll be buying my Baer brake setup this week then!

Thanks!

You can easily hold 12 psi. boost with the Baer setup 12" front and their back setup.

Tires don't hold it well after you launch where I race however.

Most racecars use transbrakes however so they don't launch much off the brakes.

The Baer setup comes complete and with good instructions, you will like the performance for sure.

Is there alot of fabrication that needs to be done? I've always been interested in a BAER 13+ / 17" setup... I'm sure you'll enjoy your setup...

 

[Royal-T-Ltd]

NO fabrication at all... BAER has done all the work for you.... they come pre mounted on spindles... just take yours off and bolt new ones on.. I know I'll LOVE'em.... I'm just waiting on my rims to be finished.

 

[Robbie-87plz]

I'm ignorant here...but do these spindles have the open wheel bearings or are they the sealed type?
Thanks for the reply...and get some pics up here...

 

[x2cstang]

I have them on my Mustang and I love them!!!

There was no fab involved at all on my Mustang I put it on my car in less than a day.

The front bearing assy is a sealed unit and as said before the rotors, caliper, spindle and hub are already put together as an assy.

Thanks guys, I'll let you know how it works when I sell my Mustang and buy the kit!!!

You aren't doing anything wrong. They don't allow image tags or attachements here. You're going to have to host them somewhere else and give us a link to your gallery.

When you reply, there is an icon below that says "manage attachments"

Do the baer 12" front brakes use the gn spindles and do they come with the braided brake lines?

 

[Royal-T-Ltd]

All Baer kits come pre-mounted on spindles with braided lines... HTH
