IASHELBYGT Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 I have a set of the Front Baer Extreme brakes - 14 in slotted and drilled rotors, 6 piston calipers on my SGT. Probably way more brake than I need, but I got them as part of a great SAI sale a few years ago. About a year ago I noticed that on a hard brake over 60 mph the front end would shudder. I thought maybe warped rotors. I called Baer Tech and they said to get them checked out and to burnish the pads with a red scotchbrite pad. I took the car to a local shop and we put each rotor on his spinner and checked it with a dial indicator and all was okay. We also burnished pads and cleaned everything. It was marginally better for awhile, but is now doing it again. Wheels are also balanced and true. I'm about getting ready to just order some new rotor rings but before I do does anybody have some tech suggestions on what else to try? Has this happened to you? Thanks, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IASHELBYGT Posted September 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 So an update since I posted. I called Baer Tech and they said to go through the pad bedding process again, so I'll try that and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through the pad bedding and rotor seasoning process last fall. Overall it didn't really help. My next steps next spring will be to pull all tires and have them rebalanced and rotate front to rear (I have 20 x 9 all 4 corners). See if its a wheel/tire issue rather than the brakes. If that doesn't work then I may buy new rotor rings and pads and see if that fixes it. If neither of those things fix the problem then I will likely just go to another manufacturer's brakes, possibly some Shelby Willowwoods.

slbgtsc Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 I just picked up a set of Baer 14" 2 piece rotors for my Brembo package and I know the rotors are specific to left and right any chance you have the rotors flip flopped?

No, I checked that too. The rotor hats have an R and L on them and I assume L is drivers side and R is passenger, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slbgtsc Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 The rotors I picked up were unmarked so I looked at some pictures to verify mine were installed correctly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hU0U-XBcrMY I haven't had a chance to bed mine yet as the roads are messed up after a recent snow.

IASHELBYGT Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Just reporting out on an old problem. After many months of trying different things I put new rotors on and problem solved. Car stops on a dime and no shudder. Even though I had the old rotors tested, that must have been the issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
