Default Baer brake upgrades









Here is something you don't see to often! A price decrease from the manufacturer. That means we were able to lower our regular prices even more. Our new pricing is -

4301066 Baer Claw GT+ front brake package - 13" $929.99
4301067 Baer Claw GT+ front brake package - 14" $989.99
1301177 Baer Select GT+ front brake package - 13" $879.99
1301176 Baer Select GT+ front brake package - 14" $939.99
1302132 Baer Track+ rear brake package - 13" $1089.99

Baer's incredible new GT 13 and 14"Front Brake systems provide performance braking at a consumer-friendly price. What’s equally important is that the 13" system works with OEM wheels! The 14" package is designed to be used with 18" or larger. Each front kit features 13 or 14" rotors with PBR 2-piston calipers to produce solid performance and stopping power. This kit has exceptional modulation, performance, and race-proven durability that make it an ideal street or track system.

ROTORS & PADS
The rotors in this kit are 13 or 14", 36-vein directional 2-piece construction and are the very finest products from DBA. These rotors are cast with DBA quality to Baer’s specification of high quality iron, and additional material in the fire path, which increases the rotor’s ability to withstand aggressive braking. A typical two-piece rotor sold by Baer saves, on average, five pounds of rotating mass. Should you choose the popular Baer Rotor Upgrade to the slotted/drilled/zinc-washed rotors, you will gain benefits such as the elimination of pad out-gassing, a more aggressive initial bite, the elimination of pad glazing, and improved wet weather performance. Is Zinc Washing just for visual appeal? Absolutely not! The Zinc Washing provides a protective, rust resistant plating finish for durability. SBS Pro Touring Pads included in the GT System are the very best compound for Street Performance. This compound is for ideal where extra brake performance and extended pad life is required. To insure low-noise operation when used on the road, Pro Touring brake pads are equipped with noise reduction features similar to OE pads. The friction level steadily increases during lower speed stops.

CALIPERS
PBR Calipers are recognized by many as the finest floating calipers in the world. Their lightweight design and Pad Guided Caliper (PGC) technology have made them the #1 choice for many OEM applications. Because of PBR's widespread use, service components are readily available. Don't be fooled thinking PBR makes your average 2-piston calipers. In fact, on some vehicles they will perform better than some 4-pistons offered by the competition.

HARDWARE
Some manufacturers cut corners to maximize the use of pre-existing hardware products that may not be an exact fit. The hardware included with each Baer brake kit has been custom designed to insure a perfect fit. Baer designs and machines their own brackets, hubs, hats, spacers and more.
The Baer GT Kits include everything you need for a complete front brake upgrade, including detailed instructions.

ROTOR UPGRADE
Upgrade rotors are available with the following features
· Faster thermal recovery
· Increased heat absorption
· Increased friction and lower wear
· Cross-drilled, slotted, and zinc washed

NOTE: The 13" package is designed to be used with your stock wheels while the 14" package will work with 18" or larger!

The TBYRNE GTO will be running these soon!

Those look like a nice package. I have a 13" front package on my 85 Vette and still like them. Someday the GTO will probably get the same treatment.

Do you know if anyone will sell the brake lines alone? I'd like to upgrade those as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Cory
