which ones and why? Also with the wilwoods, you cant get as big of a rotor as you can with the baers, right? Anyway I want to order one or the other so Im looking for opinions. And I do no racing, so that has really nothing to do with it.

Isn't 13" big enough??
And isn't the offer of intro pricing at 15% off list enough to peak some more interest?
Appears not. Seems most of the Contour owners are not quite the gear heads I was told they are compared to their counter parts in SHOs and Impala SS's to name a few! .....Now, if I could just find that gold plated, swiss cheese, carbon rotor with the red painted, mono block caliper with 15 (?) pistons for $300 I'd retire soon! LOL!
Ok, ok, all kidding aside, shop the kits, the options, the costs, the parts, and the performance and buy what tickles your fancy. Let me know what yoyu want and I'll do my best to offer it up at a fair price.

Don't be so quick to assume were not enthusiaists just need the stuff easily accessible.  You have a website? Thanks! EDIT: Sorry I'm retarded I just looked at your sig, are those prices with the 15% off?

For some strange reason TCE is not linked in the CEG link section...I'm sure Todd has sent the link and I know I have(twice)...who knows? As for Baer VS Wilwood.... The Baer track kit is really just a fitted mustang cobra brake kit. Not bad..but not great. The kit that Todd is selling not only looks a whole lot better your going to get better performence out of it. More pistons, weighs less, two piece so you can change rotors more easily. Todd you got a PM...

Todd you got a PM... Well, personally, I feel that the BAER kit is still a great kit, way better braking compared to the stock SVT brakes (and I have the larger stock calipers). Two pistons on a 13" rotor is a pretty good setup in my opinion. It was the best setup at the time of purchase and I still get stares from people when they drive by and look at my brakes. So I don't think they necessarily look better other than a Wilwood caliper in place of the BAER. BAER can sell you a two piece rotor for the Contour. I emailed them a while ago and they said yes they do have them, at a price of course. That said, if I had the chance to get Wilwoods, I'd have them on!

Dion...you know I have the Baer kit, right? The Baer kit is a big jump over the stock kit. I just think they are alittle heavy.
