Heres a pic... just got the car back today... will tell more once I get them broken in.

Very nice.....be sure you season the rotors and bed the pads before any heavy use.

GrandAmGT99 · 08-27-2003, 01:50 AM

whatd that cost ya...

PACE · 08-27-2003, 05:37 AM

I love those brakes....

SpyhunteR · 08-27-2003, 01:50 PM

what's the price of those badboys?

AaronGTR · 08-27-2003, 04:24 PM

Are those 12" or 13" rotors? Very nice looking too. You'll love the extra braking performance most of all. I had no idea how bad our stock brakes sucked until I got my 12" brakes.

nnewton123 · 08-27-2003, 05:09 PM

they are 13" and they are expensive... bit over 800.. and can be found for less $$ with less options.

Black Z28 · 08-27-2003, 05:21 PM

very sweet, definately worth the money

Tonyyank · 08-27-2003, 05:32 PM

awsome!! No you can stop the fastest!!!

J/K !! That so fits your car very nice !!

up!!

mfuller · 08-27-2003, 06:26 PM

Umm....$800 for that setup is dirt cheap. If you look around, most other big brake kits cost well over a grand. They're worth everty penny, especially the first time you avoid an accident....and knowing that you won't have to deal with warped rotors anymore.

Oh...one more thing. Powerful brakes require grippy tires to work best. If anyone installs big brakes without upgrading tires, I'll personally kick their azz.

nnewton123 · 08-27-2003, 07:55 PM

I had a situation pretty similar to yours matt.... I didn't order rotors will all those options, but that is what they sent to me... so I guess I can't complain.

i bought a set of used 17's for winter use.

Nice brakes...how much did they charge you to install them. Is that the same as the eradispeed kit from pfyc. if not whats the difference between the 2. Plus yours r a lot less expensive. How do you have to break them in?

nnewton123 · 09-04-2003, 03:03 PM

i'm not sure on the install... i had those and headers installed at the same time. It came out to 8 hours of labor... so i would guess 2-3 hours for the brakes maybe. It is different than the eradispeed kit. The eradispeed kit includes comsmetically dressed to match rear rotors. This kit is just for the front.

To break them in you essentially drive easy on them for 4-5 days and then slowly increase the amount of heat to them. There are more specific instructions on the baer website.

mfuller · 09-04-2003, 05:04 PM

Also, Nick has the big 13" 1-piece rotors, while PFYC's Eradispeed kit has 12" 2-piece front rotors (the rear rotors are stock-sized).

Schweppe23 · 09-04-2003, 09:24 PM

whats better 1 piece or 2? whats the difference?
