Default Baer Brake Upgrades!



Baer and PBR, in their first official collaboration, have put together the AlumaSport Brake Package. This dynamic integrated system is designed to dramatically increase braking to offset the increase in potential rotational mass derived from the larger wheel-tire upgrades. Even the lightest wheel upgrade, coupled with tires load rated for these vehicles, produces significant increases in weight. Modest 20" wheel-tire packages often add 30 lbs. or more per corner than OE 16" combination. The result is measurably longer stopping distances and a huge reduction in vehicle safety. This integrated system has been track proven to deliver performance improvements of over 20%.

Each package consists of -

AlumaSport high-performance pin-Drive 2-piston calipers

355mm diameter (14") EradiSpeedTM directional rotors

All necessary bracketry and hardware for installation

OE proven and accepted performance pad material
Installs easily with simple hand tools
Dramatic 20+% decrease in repeatable stopping distance
Increased heat absorption with faster thermal recovery
Maintains OE civility and fully compatible with OE ABS
Dynamic visual appearance and firmer pedal feel
Packages inside 18" or larger wheels

If you would just like to upgrade your rotors the Baer Eradispeeds are a direct replacement to your factory rotors -



EradiSpeed represents Baer's premium line of performance rotors. Featuring the dynamic appearance of cross-drilled, slotted and zinc-coated surfaces, EradiSpeed units are also purpose-cast with quality iron materials for performance far beyond the factory units they replace. Furthermore, EradiSpeed´s curve-vaned design also provides greater airflow and heat dissipation.

EradiSpeed rotors feature:

Faster thermal recovery
Increased heat absorption
Increased friction and lower wear
Cross-drilled, slotted, and zinc-washed
Limited lifetime warranty against warping
The EradiSpeedTM product line is offered in the following four categories:

EradiSpeedTM 1-piece direct OE replacement rotors
EradiSpeed-PlusTM 2-piece (hat & disc) OE replacement rotors
EradiSpeed-Plus-OneTM 1-piece increased diameter replacement rotors
EradiSpeed-Plus-TwoTM 2-piece (hat & disc) increased diameter replacement rotors

We have part numbers ready to ship to you today! Our pricing is up to 15% off of Baer's suggested retail plus we offer free shipping for these packages in the 48 states!

My understanding is that they don't have a kit out yet for the 05's. Is that true or did they recently release one?

I emailed them and they said that they do not have their alumasport line out for the 05's yet. He said check back at the end of November. He didn't say anything about any of their other products or anything about the rear drums. I agree drums work good but look like

My 05 SS still has disc on the back so I guess these would fit it. Damn, they look sexy.
