Hello all,

I recently replaced my Baer GT+ system on my 2002 Firehawk. The Baer system is for sale for $825.

Consists of everything it originally came with for complete install:

* C5 PBR polished calipers with red "Baer" lettering (extra cost bling option);
* Baer two piece rotors, alum hats, slotted rotors--no drill holes. Unlike the C5 upgrade these rotors are two piece and can be easily replaced at low cost by ordering a new set from Coleman Racing or from Baer. Additionally, the rotors are larger than the C5 setup--they are 13 1/8". The greater mass provides for more heat soak area etc;
* Baer proprietary brackets;
* Bedded in pads not previously used;
* SS rubber covered hoses;
* all included fastners;

These fit w/my stock 17 inch wheels.

New you're looking at about $1100

Regards

Well.....I got (2) replacement rotor RINGS over the winter (slotted & zinc-washed) for $440. That may seem expensive, but the rotors are of very high quality and aren't throw aways like I hear a lot of people doing every track weekend or so. My 1st set of rotors lasted 15,000 street miles and about 15 track days using Hawk HP+ which are hard on rotors. No cracking, just getting thin from the miles. My stock rears had the same track days, but 30,000 street miles, and they were under min. thickness!

I may try Coleman for replacements next time depending on the price. I am rather happy with the price and performance of the Baers.

PS....I still highly recommend brake ducting.

Regarding the cost of replacement rotors, I just spoke to Coleman Racing Products, (800) 221-1851,

They advised the cost of a pair of rotors (13 inch) is $244 for a pair. Add $11 if slotting is desired.
