Bought a 97 firebird with a Baer brakes track system on it and was wondering what kind of pads I would need to buy for it. Do these system use C5 vette calipers? Thanks.

No they are not! I have the track plus with the 2piece rotor but it use is the same pads as those. It hate to be the one to tell you this.But they require pads from a 94 to 04 MUSTANG COBRA! When i found this out i was so mad.So please don't be mad at me!

So basically Baer just took calipers from a Mustang Cobra, put their logo into them, and sold them in a kit for a lot of money.
Those are essentially PBR calipers then, which are the same brand that 98-02 cars came with. So I don't see how those calipers would offer any advantage over an LS1 brake swap.
The 2 piece rotors are nice though.
