Help on big Brake Kit!

[qbcsvt]

Hey guys im gettin ready to order the Baer Big Brake kit!

Ive been trying to look around on what type of brake pads it uses and cant seem to find anything.

What kind of brake pads do these things use and where can i get them if they arent stock?

Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure the Baer's use the same pad style as the 94-04 Mustang Cobra, and the C4 Corvette.

Yep, I just go to the store and order pads for a '98 Cobra. Bendix titaniums at Advance Auto.

We run PF pads on our race cars, and they work pretty darn well. Not a big fan of the guy that runs PF though, I wouldn't trust him on pretty much anything. It's too bad too, otherwise they would be a lot bigger player in the braking world, they have some pretty nice racing caliper designs and stuff too.

Really? Whats his deal and how does it affect his business?

 

[Rara]

A lot of people consider him to be the equivalent of a snake oil salesman, and don't trust him; consequently, he doesn't get much OEM business because of this perception.

Also, I've heard that he is/was suing several engineers that left his company because of the way he runs things.

Hmm, not good.
Perceptions usually become the reality in the end unfortunately.
