It looks like ass but it's very functional. My braking points have moved so much farther to the end of the turn now at the track its unbelievable.
Although I still think I'd go with a Wilwood kit from TCE with what I know now.

And if they were available the increase in stopping power would be marginal. The pad is more effective at braking the further you movew out from the center of the rotor.

Hence why on the later model SVT's they reverted back to the original cliper design as the deeper pad on the E0 SVT's was not much better than the repositioned SE pad.

This is true. However, I still feel like they could have gone with a bigger caliper. The Willwood kit has an enormous 6 piston caliper that covers almost 30 of the rotor surface. The 2 piston calipers on the Baer kit just don't look right on those massive rotors. I wonder why they went with that particular caliper? Cost?
