I am not interested in buying a set, Because I already do have this kit on my car and I just wanted to say it is worth it! espically at this price. I paid $694 shipped

-Jeff-
Posted By: m!key Re: BAER brakes - 10/17/03 02:23 AM
does this included shipping??
are the blank rotors zinc washed as well?

if the answer is yes to both of these i am in for sure.

if the price doesnt include shipping i think i can get them somewhere else cheaper. if the blank rotors arent zinc washed i will take a set of the cross drilled but wish that they werent.
Posted By: scottd60_dup1 Re: BAER brakes - 10/17/03 02:30 AM
Keyzer,

I'm assuming this is front only...what can you get a complete set for SVT's (front and rear) for? Also are the hoses S/S? The web site says the calipers are available in colors or polished is this true for these and if so can we get the red calipers if we choose? One more thing, will they include pads as well?

Sorry for all the questions...but I am interested!

Thanks,
Scott
Posted By: Keyser Soze Re: BAER brakes - 10/17/03 04:44 AM
Yes I can get matching front and rear however the rear is no larger.

The hoses are S/S

Yes I believe there is a color choice, I'll double check

Yes the pads should come with it but again I'll double check.

Zinc washed blanks, I'll check on it tomorrow.

I didn't consider shipping into it. Let me find out the weight of these as I can pick them up and ship them myself from my office to save money. Shouldn't be too much.
Posted By: Stazi Re: BAER brakes - 10/17/03 04:19 PM
I'm in!
Posted By: Keyser Soze Re: BAER brakes - 10/17/03 06:06 PM
The calipers are aluminum with a red logo. If you want them powder coated it is extra.

Pads are included

Zinc washing blanks is an additional $60

Shipping is 70lbs and the size is 15x15x12 I'll ship it personally however you want.
Posted By: rmcd79_dup1 Re: BAER brakes - 10/17/03 08:35 PM
Ok, what offset is required for the rims?
Will these work on non-svt's?
Posted By: 97CS Re: BAER brakes - 10/17/03 08:48 PM
I'm interested.

Edit: I just realized something...Rotors are 13.1"? Those are [censored] huge. Damn...what's the regular price on these?
Posted By: Keyser Soze Re: BAER brakes - 10/17/03 10:09 PM
Regular price on these is $785 for cdsz and $685 for just blanks.
Posted By: Keyser Soze Re: BAER brakes - 10/17/03 10:10 PM
There should be a guage you can print out from the BAER web page to see if they fit your rims. Yes they will fit on all contours and cougars.
Posted By: m!key Re: BAER brakes - 10/17/03 10:20 PM
ok, i will take a set of blank zinc washed rotors with red powdercoated calipers. thank you.
Posted By: Kool Aid_dup1 Re: BAER brakes - 10/18/03 01:19 AM
What are Blank Rotors? Does It mean no slots or drilled holes?I'm probally In on this too
Posted By: auiotour Re: BAER brakes - 10/18/03 01:25 AM
how long will these prices last, Because, I am in the works with a new set of rims in tires, since I have stock.
Posted By: rmcd79_dup1 Re: BAER brakes - 10/18/03 03:20 AM
I would love to print that guage out and check, but I'm halfway around the world from my rims.
Posted By: Keyser Soze Re: BAER brakes - 10/18/03 04:05 AM
Blank rotors have no drilled holes or slots on them.

How long do you need?
Posted By: auiotour Re: BAER brakes - 10/18/03 04:21 AM
maybe a month. I am not sure yet. If my project ends at the end of the month, I won't be able to buy them. but if it continues, it will take 2 weeks to get the money.

But you do need 17" rims for them to fit, correct?
Posted By: MarkusSVT Re: BAER brakes - 10/18/03 07:45 AM
i would like to be in on this... i need to find out when until though....
Posted By: Ronan_dup1 Re: BAER brakes - 10/18/03 02:58 PM
That sounds like a great deal alright, but I am running lowly 16", and know that Baer also do a 12.1" kit too, which fits 16" wheel applications (although you do have to check that your wheel will clear the caliper)
Is there any chance that the 12.1" kit will be included in the group buy?
Posted By: tymeks Re: BAER brakes - 10/18/03 05:19 PM
I would be interested but I run 16 inch Rota Slipstreams. Any way we can get some for the 16 inch runners included. And if so how can we check for clearence. Do we call Baer?
Posted By: ChattavegasSE_dup1 Re: BAER brakes - 10/18/03 05:27 PM
I am very interested in this buy! But my wallet isn't right now. How long will this be on?
Posted By: SilverSVT98 Re: BAER brakes - 10/18/03 05:38 PM
Id like in also.

Could you give me the 5 and 10 prices for

Zinc, Slotted, Blue calipers

Thanks.

They have templated on their site. Pretty handy.
Posted By: Keyser Soze Re: BAER brakes - 10/18/03 05:54 PM
For those of you with 16" rims I'll call the contact Monday and check on CEG pricing for 12" rotors.

Here are the a la carte options.

Just zinc is $60
zinc and slotted is $75
CSZ is $100
Powder coating is $175
Posted By: m!key Re: BAER brakes - 10/18/03 07:41 PM
ok stop giving options!
i want to change my order to zinc slotted rotors without the red paint (i can do that myself for way way less than 175 bucks). can you make a lst of everyone? can i just order them now or do we have to wait for everyone else to jump onboard?
Posted By: Keyser Soze Re: BAER brakes - 10/18/03 10:24 PM
Not my prices Mikey. I agree 175 is pricey for Powder coating but that is what they want for it. It's going to be a one time purchase being that I have to go pick them all up and ship them myself. I was thinking that we should end this around early to mid November.
Posted By: tckn19s_dup1 Re: BAER brakes - 10/19/03 02:19 PM
i'm in on plated blanks!

Posted By: m!key Re: BAER brakes - 10/19/03 02:21 PM
thanks for the response keyser. early november is cool with me.

Posted By: Keyser Soze Re: BAER brakes - 10/19/03 11:08 PM

How long to keep the buy open
Before the end of October
Early November
Middle of November
End of November




Posted By: m!key Re: BAER brakes - 10/20/03 02:18 AM
the end of november is too far away. if we get the 10 before then can we order them? i am sorry i am sooo axious but the sooner the better for me. like tomorrow.
Posted By: bmxcontour Re: BAER brakes - 10/20/03 03:36 AM
i would say keep it open until mid- end Nov. this way i can get some more time to sell my SVT set-up i have, so i can afford this. i want zinc blanks... i am in as long as i can get rid of my 98 EO calipers and such....

Ben
Posted By: 97CS Re: BAER brakes - 10/20/03 03:48 AM
I vote for sooner than later, but that's because I'm spending the money for my body kit on this, since the date for the kit got pushed back again. I can understand why some want it later on, but im ready to send the cash as of Tuesday.
Posted By: Stazi Re: BAER brakes - 10/20/03 12:55 PM
I say mid-Nov the latest; after that it's pointless for us northerners as a lot of us will be storing our cars once the snow hits. Who needs awesome stopping-power when you'll just be skating across ice?
Posted By: Keyser Soze Re: BAER brakes - 10/20/03 06:20 PM
Ok I can get the 12" rotors included in this buy but the price is only $10 less. Use the gauge to make sure they will fit.
This buy will end on Friday November 14th. Hope you can make it.
Posted By: Speed Demon_dup1 Re: BAER brakes - 10/20/03 06:57 PM
i want a front csz set!!

how much extra for some csz rear rotors to match?
Posted By: Keyser Soze Re: BAER brakes - 10/20/03 07:44 PM
Rears are $160 + options. So CSZ is $260. Uses stock calipers.
Posted By: SilverSVT98 Re: BAER brakes - 10/20/03 11:25 PM
Does the rears come with Pads also? Or just rotors?

Thanks.
Posted By: Keyser Soze Re: BAER brakes - 10/21/03 01:38 AM
Well you got me again. I'll find out.
Posted By: 97CS Re: BAER brakes - 10/21/03 02:04 AM
Re-cap. EVERYTHING comes with it? for $660 or $600 CSZ? Rotors, calipers, lines, etc. The whole kit?
Posted By: Keyser Soze Re: BAER brakes - 10/21/03 04:19 AM
Yes everything for the fronts is included. Rotors, calipers, hardware, hoses and pads.

If we get 5 or more of any combo, the price is $660 for CSZ. If we get 10 or more the price drops to $600 for CSZ.
Posted By: Ronan_dup1 Re: BAER brakes - 10/21/03 09:41 AM
Hey Keyser, thanks for finding out about the 16" rims, I would love to get in on this, but I will think about it for a little while. How many do you have at the moment?
Ronan
Posted By: 97CS Re: BAER brakes - 10/21/03 10:09 AM

Still have till Friday the 14th correct? I will let you know for sure that week.

If I am in I will be getting Front CSZ and possibly rear CSZ rotors for the rear as well if I can swing it.

Scott

Posted By: 97CS Re: BAER brakes - 10/24/03 10:17 PM
Keyser, heard anything about the rear brakes?
Posted By: Keyser Soze Re: BAER brakes - 10/24/03 10:28 PM
The rears are rotors to match the front only. That is all that they offer.
Posted By: 97CS Re: BAER brakes - 10/24/03 10:32 PM
So for the rear we use our stock caliper and everything else, but in this GB they supply the rear rotors?
Posted By: Keyser Soze Re: BAER brakes - 10/24/03 10:40 PM
Man now you have me confused. The prices on the first page are for fronts only. The rears are rotors only and they are $160 + options.

Just for clarification here - is the 10+ pricing for each type or if there are 10 total people? (Meaning can the items be mixed and matched to get up the the 10 discount level?)

Thanks,
Dan

Posted By: m!key Re: BAER brakes - 10/31/03 03:10 AM

Hey is it to late for me to dive in to the group buy? I'm definitely in I have a 2000 Svt contour!! I'll go for the hole package on the front CSZ The works! Question, does the group buy have to be just for the Contour or can a person be involved with another car? My dad say's he go for it if it's ok He has a 2002 focus svt? If they make it a brake kit for it? Hey Thanks for reading!!!

Nathan Lanktree
Posted By: Keyser Soze Re: BAER brakes - 10/31/03 05:10 AM
I'll let you know tomorrow. If they allow the focus in the buy then we will have our 10. Oh, and Welcome to CEG.
Posted By: m!key Re: BAER brakes - 10/31/03 05:11 AM
sweeeeeeeeeeeet!

how will you accept payments?
Posted By: 97CS Re: BAER brakes - 10/31/03 08:18 AM
Yeah, count me in. I'll get paid this coming Tuesday. I'd like the front and rear, CSZ rotors/package. How much will that run me w/ shipping? I live in KS (66210)
Posted By: bmesserli_dup1 Re: BAER brakes - 10/31/03 03:44 PM
Keyser,

I previously sent you a PM about whether or not anyone had confirmed that the 12" kit will fit the stock 16" SVT wheels. I did not get a response so I am planning to check this myself this weekend. I am definitely interested, just trying to get the guts up to pull the trigger on this one. I do have one question though, can I get powder coated black with white letters?
Posted By: Keyser Soze Re: BAER brakes - 11/01/03 12:05 AM
First off I need to apologize and clarify a typo on my part. This was an origional post by me:
Quote:

Just zinc is $60
zinc and slotted is $75
CSZ is $100
Powder coating is $175




It should have been
zinc is $60
slotted is $75
Cross drilled or slotted or both with zinc is $100

Second:
Focus brakes - usually doesn't allow mix of cars like that on a buy but willing to this time at the same prices. You will need to get SVT spindles to make them work.

16" rims - 12" brakes sometimes do and sometimes do not fit. My sources tells me that the gauge is the best way to tell. You can download and print it off of the BAER web site.

We will be doing credit cards through Street Flight as I am using their business ID to get these kits so cheap. We will start taking them on Wednesday of next week. I hope to be able to call BAER on Friday to order.

I just realized that I have to pick up near 800lbs in brakes and then ship them. If someone is wants in this, this is the time to do it because I will not do this buy again.

Posted By: m!key Re: BAER brakes - 11/01/03 01:56 AM
sorry, so then zinc blanks are how much?


i will be ordering the kit on the first available day. thanks again for organizing this group buy.


now how bout a group buy on turbos.
Posted By: slolx50_dup1 Re: BAER brakes - 11/01/03 03:29 AM
yeah, and how much will the zinc and slotted be? or better yet if you could just pm me the total amount, including shipping to 62424. thanks again.
Posted By: RTStabler51_dup1 Re: BAER brakes - 11/01/03 09:13 AM
Keyser,

I'm in.

This is what I would like...

12.2" Kit
Slotted/Zinc Washed
Blue painted calipers

I don't get to check this site as often as I'd like to please email me at stabler@hoa.centcom.mil when payment is due. What time frame of delivery are we looking at?
Posted By: CustomCougars Re: BAER brakes - 11/01/03 09:40 AM
Keyser: I was talking with Baer last week (sponsored vehicle) and was discussing changing out my rotors for 2004 show season and they said that they are currently on a 8-10 week turnaround time. Have you recieved any ETA from your contact at Baer?
Posted By: Keyser Soze Re: BAER brakes - 11/01/03 03:54 PM
UHHHHhhh, no. That is scarey. They never mentioned anything to suggest there was backorder issue. I will check on Monday.
