More Info on your Baer Brakes Setup

Brad,

Can you provide more info on your brake setup from Bear. You mentioned the following: Claw EXTREME-PLUS 14" Front Rotors, MonoBlock-6S 6-Piston Calipers & EradiSpeed-PLUS-TWO 14" Rear Rotors.

I'm seriously thinking of getting this same setup but I was wondering if maybe there was more to it than what is mentioned. I had a couple of questions if you don't mind answering.
  1. Did you replace the brake lines and fluid as well.
  2. Did you replace the rear pads.
  3. Did you get the brake balancer too.
Thanks,
Scott

Brad is heading out of town, and I know svopaul is the one who installed it all so ive directed this thread to him. Hopefully when he gets a spare moment, he can fill you in.

1)We did replace the front brake lines with Stainless Steel braided lines, fluid was changed.

2) Going by memory(it's been a while) I believe Rear pads did not come with the kit installed on PSH...only the rotors and correct brackets to locate the stock calipers for the larger rotors

3) No brake balancer was installed on PSH and was not necessary for proper operation. We tested the car from triple digit speeds and the brakes performed flawlessly. I've also driven PSH on-track and found the Baer brakes to perform great.

Thanks for answering my questions. I'm getting the kit from a friend at cost and it's still a bundle of cash. I'm going to track this car so I think it will be worth the money.

Thanks again,
Scott
