      Baer caliper + rotor question

      Hello guys, does anyone know what is the minimum and maximum rotor width that would work with the Baer 6S and 6P calipers? Is it possible to use these calipers with thinner eradispeed rotors that were designed to work with factory calipers?
      For example Is it possible to use any of these calipers with 0.8" rear rotors?

      Thanks

      I don't see why not. But most likely would involve a modified caliper bracket or vertical shimming or reverse of to accommodate the most likely different rotor diameter.
      You could/should keep the same "centerline" as far as caliper over rotor so long as this rotor/hat you are thinking of using has the same or similar offset.

      To compensate for the rotor thickness and to not have the caliper piston travel "too far", you could either research thicker brake pads by some of the aftermarket,,,,, or you could simply have some brake pad spacers lazer/water cut from stainless in the same shape as the pad backing plate that would double as heat transfer shield and in your case a "spacer" to take up the shortfall of your thinner rotor. There are companies out there that make such a spacer but have personally only seen for some of the C5/6 ZO6 calipers and some for the Brembo Dodge Viper calipers. Most on the market I believe are out of .125" Hope this makes sense.

      Yes, it makes sense. Thank you.
