Alright, I feel I need to respond to this f'ing jackoff.

Where is all this anger coming from? why do you despite baer brakes so much?
huh? Despite baer brakes so much? I have no idea what you're trying to say here.

Hmmm...a bad ass setup. I can tell that you really give good, resourceful feedback. That's great that you track your car. I'm proud of you. BUT, did you ever once try to run some track only pads with your stock setup? If you had, maybe you could speak more intelligently about the differences between the Baer's and a tweaked stock setup. And before anyone says "but then you're not comparing a stock setup to Baer's stock setup" that's true, but my point is that without spending the large amount of money on the Baer's PLUS the aftermarket wheels (which has anyone found any that are lightweight and actually fit our car? I think not) you can get your stock setup to perform much better, possibly to 90% of what the Baer's could do for less money.

He just told that PowerStops warp easy!!
and Dion said even the directions say NO!
track use.
Fine, good. I received a super deal on the rotors from Michael Amisano who is selling his SVT. $260 with shipping for all four rotors. If they warp on the track, I'll live with it. But I also said "powerstop/stock rotors" meaning that the stock rotors were an option, and one that I had tested the last time I was at Gingerman with my Carbotech pads.

I'll tell you since i have the baer setup that they feel WAY FIRMER,,and alot more braking power than any stock size set up.
That's great!! You say they feel firmer and I value your feedback on them. How much better would you say though? Assuming $2K wheels to fit around them and the $800+ for the brakes plus labor (or did you do them yourself?), is their braking power THAT much better than stock with track pads? Oh, I forgot, you didn't mention whether you had ever tried switching pads with your stock setup.
And a 2 piston setup for the money you paid? My gf's Explorer has 2 pistons up front for crying out loud. I'm simply stating that as long as you're spending all this money to get better braking why go with something that is not that much beefier than stock? For my money, I'd rather go to a 4 or 6 piston setup (if one exists).

and dont cry cause you cant afford nicer wheels to house the Massive rotors.
Don't cry? What a mature response. Obviously you are still working at Blockbuster Video and living with Mommy and Daddy. That must be how you're financing your car mods. I on the other hand am closing on a house tomorrow here in the Chicago area, which ain't cheap. (I used the word "ain't" to try to come down to your vocabulary level for a second). In my opinion, you don't need to demonstrate wealth by purchasing car mods that are useless and/or not necessary.

That is the biggest line of BS i've ever heard,,,thats like going into a gun fight with a knife.
Why is it BS? Oh I forgot, you exhaustively tried to get more performance out of your stock brakes before going to the Baer's.

So as soon as i get some real numbers ,,you'll be the first to know!!
We'll be anxiously awaiting your findings.

Don't hate the player, hate the game. O.K. Ice Cube, I'll back my muthaf'ing ass up I guess before you bust a cap in ma ass. shi' fool.
Oh, and your signature. "and almost everything". I guess that means you've also got a supertouring wing, stupid-ass vinyl stickers, and 20 inch wheels.
I think I've sufficiently flamed you here. I look forward to your illiterate response.
