      Anyone done a Baer T4 upgrade yet?

      I bought an upgrade kit for my 13" track system.
      Received a box with the 2 calipers and brackets.

      Anyone already done this.

      Better be prepared before I start the conversion.

      I did the upgrade to my 13" track system to the 6P calipers/brackets. Very straightforward. Just had to shim the caliper with the supplied shims to get it centered over the rotor. Not sure if the T4 setup requires that.

      I'll be watching this thread for sure. I have the GT setup (C5/C6) and I was wondering what the upgrade options are for that kit. You would think it would be fairly economical, maybe...

      Can you get 17" TT2's over those T4 or even six pot callipers?

      Very nice! I hear the rear set up is right around the corner and should be avail around the end of this month. I am looking for the complete f&r kit.
      They look great... And those are 18's your running?

      I'm planning same, 6P's still sitting on shelf and not sure I will need them. Do the 6P's lock up front brakes?

      We got one of the first sets on Project Olds. They installed very well and work awesome. More than enough braking for my needs. I'm sure you'll be very happy with them. I had the car at Motorstate Challenge and road raced and autocrossed, no brake fade, no knock back, no issues. They worked really well. Can't say enough about them or the guys at Baer.

      No issues with mine. I still have the single piston Baer calipers on 12" rear rotors, hasn't been a problem with brake bias for me.

      I'm currently running ($1400)Baer Track one piece rotor 13", 2 pot Zinc washed, drilled, slotted, grooved up front with Baer Iron sport 11.625" Zinc washed, drilled, slotted, grooved in the rear. I have 17 x8 and 17 x11 wheels.


      Possibly looking to improve braking as I have just added an additional Procharger blower.
      Will upgrading to ($2200) Baer Pro-Plus Systems 13" drilled, slotted & zinc washed 2 piece rotors with Baer 6P staggered bore 6 piston callipers give me an appreciable decrease in stopping distances with Toyo R888 255/17/40's?


      Or will it just allow more time before brake fade????

      If you could describe the difference in feel, braking distance repeatability it would be appreciated.....
