GT500-07 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I am, but I have the entire 6P kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reino Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Many of us bought them from blue oval including myself. I have not had time to install them as spring is here and ive had a lot of project going on with my bike. Im sure someone on here will post but if not search for the Baer Rotor topic in this forum. I believe everyone posted positive results with the pads and line upgrades done at the same time. I also think Swede is still searching for test results done by NASA and until then hes skeptical.

07SGT4578 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Im sure im gonna eat some crow over this, but oh well. You will gain very minimal improvement with just the rotors, you should seriously consider replacing the calipers too. I am running the Shelby/Baer 6 piston kit on front, and let me tell ya, BIG diff. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilmor Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 If you have a lot of money to spend, and like the looks of the big brakes / calipers, get those (also requires new wheels). If you have a lot of money to spend, and plan on competitive endurance road racing, get the big brakes (also requires new wheels). If you don't have a lot of money to spend, and want to keep your original bullit wheels, get OEM size drilled / slotted rotors (such as Baer Decelerators or similar), upgraded pads (such as Hawk HPS or HP Plus), s/s brake lines and high-temp fluid and you'll be fine for autocross, drag racing, track days and probably some shorter-duration competitive racing too...plus, they look good also. In other words, it all depends one what you're ultimately trying to achieve and how much money you have to spend on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardluck33 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Love 'em: did a brake pad upgrade (kept the original calipers) and SS lines all at once--big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STILLEN Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 looking to upgrade to baer drilled/slotted rotors in the stock/oem size on my '07 Shelby GT...anyone using them now, and if so, how do u like them???---pics would be a plus! FYI...Stillen is running a special for May on brakes. I've got great pricing on AP Racing big brake kits, but I am also running a brake rotor/pad special as well. You can choose cross drilled/slotted, slotted only, or cross drilled only. http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=42760 Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewnagle1964 Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Have the Baer DecelaRotor's, Goodridge stainless steel brake lines, Hawk HPS pads and ATE Super Blue DOT 4 racing brake fluid With the stock wheels this is what works best for me !

judgeman6970 Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 thanks for all the info/pics...just looking for better looks, and "some" braking improvement(street car only)....ordered the baer rotors....and will buy pads & s/s lines when $$$ is available.....I assume most prefer hawk pads???

SWEDEMAN Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 i got em...look great, work fine. nice low $ upgrade :happy feet: $$ cost? In another thread I noted the new OEM size rotors (slotted&drilled), SS lines, high performance pads, upgraded brake fluid and installation was $1100 dollars. Is this "around" the best $price$ that can be had when your having a professional shop install them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFBLUE Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Just found this thread. Got my Baer decelarotors installed today when I was up a Carlisle, PA for Ford Nationals. Great price and great looking. $400 installed. Next up will be the Hawk pads...need to save my pennies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFBLUE Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 That's a great price. With the $47 shipping I still came out ahead by getting them in Carlisle...but maybe I could have had them installed cheaper around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFBLUE Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Question: Is there a aftermarket brake caliper that will work with these rotors and the stock wheels? Read that these were originally designed for use on Foose stangs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFBLUE Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Question: Is there a aftermarket brake caliper that will work with these rotors and the stock wheels? Read that these were originally designed for use on Foose stangs. May have partially answered my question Baer GT and GT-Plus Brake System The Baer Claw® GT brake system is designed primarily for late-model Mustangs and the Subaru WRX (excluding the STi). The large2-piston PBR pin-driven calipers provide increased pad volume for a measurable increase in performance. Rotors are 1-piece and come in 12.75" to 13" diameters, depending on the application. Cross-drilled, slotted and zinc-coated surfaces are standard; a smooth, plain rotor is available upon request (optional). The Baer Claw® GT-PLUS covers a wide range of larger, heavier cars, trucks and SUVs and is a cost-effective alternative the 6-piston EXTREME-PLUS system. Featuring large 2-piston PBR pin-driven calipers and a greater pad volume, performance of these vehicles is greatly enhanced. Rotors are 2-piece and come in 12.75" to 14" diameters, depending on the application. This design incorporates an aluminum hat, reducing overall weight. It also allows for differential expansion of the rotor plates, reducing the "bell effect," lowering thermal transfer to the hub, and ultimately prolonging bearing life. Note: 17" or larger wheels are required for both the GT and GT-Plus brake systems. Check wheel fitment with Baer fit check http://www.buybrakes.com/baer/gt.html 2 more questions: Anyone know if this will fit with the stock SGT wheels? Are these 2 piston calipers are any better than the stock ones? Probably just need to call Baer on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just need to call Baer on this one. According to this source Fits Shelby and 2005-2010 Baer Brakes GT Plus Front System Fits all cars except V6 cars that don’t have the optional ABS, requires 18" or larger rims. Will not fit with stock 18" GT wheels. Certain spoke designs may not allow enough clearance for these oversize calipers. http://www.stage3motorsports.com/product/B...k_Calipers.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bxrman Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Put mine on this weekend!! :happy feet: Mee too! I will post some pics when I get a chance....question - did you change the pads and lines at the same time? I was eager to get the rotors on, so left the stock pads and lines for now.....do you know if we have to remove the calipers again when changing the pads/lines? Not a huge deal, but a hassle......

I replaced my pads, but didn't change my lines. Definitely have to remove the calipers when changing the pads, but you don't need to remove the bracket.

jwhite1967 Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 For those interested in the Baer Decelarotors and Hawk HPS pads. I ran Hallett Raceway two days for the Mid America Shelby Meet and they worked just fine. Air temp was over 100 both days. I have Goodridge stainless brake lines and use Motul RBF 600 brake fluid. I don't have brake ducts but plan on doing those. Definately get more brake dust with the HPS pads but no noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahmann Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 These are the complete set up, rotors and 2P calipers.my question is , if you already have the baer rotors, can i buy just the calipers???? From the description on the Baer site: "Fits all cars except V6 cars that don’t have the optional ABS, requires 18" or larger rims. Will not fit with stock 18" GT wheels. Certain spoke designs may not allow enough clearance for these oversize calipers." I just ordered a set of the rotors from Lethal. The EBC black zinc rotors I bought from Summit aren't working out all that well. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
