Default Is anyone running with this rotor?????

I was looking at the Bear eradispeed plus one rotor. It's a 15" rotor using the stock calipers. I have the 14" SSBC rotors on now and I have put my 20" Foose speedsters back on the truck. My question is will the 15" baer rotors fit with my rims. By my measurements I will have just a little less then a 1/4" gap between the rotor and rim. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

i think it will fit just fine, the 14" rotors require an 18" diameter rim minimum right? i wouldnt think the 15" rotor would be too big for a 20. btw how do you like the ssbc 14 inch setup, why are you switching? i was looking into there setup recently and was wondering about the quality of there kit.

Pretty sure those are 14" rotors. The Baer Extreme rotors are 15".

Eradispeed + 1 is a 14" 1-piece
Eradispeed + 2 is a 14" 2 piece

Nope they are 15" rotors. I called summit and asked.

baer has a template that you can print out to measure. I did that but couldn't get it exactly to scale ( mine was a little bigger than scale) it looks like it will be tight but will work. As far as the ssbc goes I hate them. The set I have now is the second set. the first ones were covered under warrenty but both sets have had the same prob. They crack where the cross drills are which I believe is extememly unsafe and will never pass inspection so I'm going with the Baer to see how they work.

SuperchargedSS is right, the Eradispeed plus one IS a 14" rotor (1-peice) and should come with mounting brackets for the caliper. the Extreme plus is the only way to get the 15" rotors (which comes with the 6-piston calipers)

I agree w/ those guys. I think it'a 14", 15" is extreme. I don't have the time to check right now, but go on Baer website to confirm. Better yet, on Mon., call Ben @ Baer, tell him you need a template. That template will be exact, not a photocopy which may tweak your findings. Somewhere, I thought I saw that on their site. It's been a while since I've been on site.
Cross-drill SSBC, never heard of a person I could talk to having cracking issues. Again, I have heard it can occur, but never anyone I could get in touch w/ like yourself. That's why some use slots or ballmill spots.
Let us know how the Baers work out.

Well I now think you guys are right. Jegs says they are 14" but the guy I'm talking to at summit says 15". He did say however Baer is a new product to them and he could be wrong????? Both are the same kit so I will just assume they are 14" which I know will fit. I'll let you know how they work.
