Shelby Baer 6S front & Eradispeed rear brakes on KR?

[2010KonaBlueGT]

As the title says, can you put the Shelby/Baer 6S brake calipers & rotors on the front of a KR with the stock/OE 18" Alcoa Dura-Bright wheels or is there a clearence problem?

 

What about the rear wheels and the Shelby/Baer Eradispeed rear brake rotors (14"?)?

 

For those that have added the Baer 6S brakes on ANY GT500, will the FRPP/KR front brake cooling duct kit work with them? I see that you are supposed to eliminate the dust OEM shields when you add the 6S brakes but the instructions don't say anything about the FRPP/KR vented shields. From the looks of them, they are the same item just with a tube welded on them.

 

Or does the KR use the JLT/Shelby style of duct that is just the tube with two mounting ears on it?

 

If I can't use the FRPP cooling ducts with the Baer brakes, I may have a set for sale, new in box-never been opened!

 

 

Thanks in advance,

Hi Phill,

 

I added the rears to my 08 convertible and had the stock 18" SVT wheels and there were no clearance issues.

 

I have no input on the fronts or the ducting clearances.

I have installed the Shelby Extreme's 6S's with no problem on the front of the KR, you do need to trim the shields and masage a bit to make them to clear thought. No issues with the wheels. Be sure to check weight placement as it is close.

I put the front and rear Baer 6 piston brakes on my KR and I DID have clearance issues. The wheels fit on, but there was about the thickness of a piece of paper gap clearance. I was not going to risk damage to my calipers and wheels so I put on the 20' Alcoas.

 

Shelby Autos claims they have no issues with this set up, but I sure did.
