Baer Rotors or System Replacement?
I have a question about what size/type rotors I can go with. I currently have Baer Brake Sport/Touring kits on my '90 Firebird. I want to get replacement rotors, however, I'm not seeing any 12" that duplicates what Baer uses. Here are the kits:
Baer Claw Systems, Front 84-92 F-body. (Sport) PBR 2 Piston, 12" x 1.10" Rotors
Baer Claw Systems, Rear 89-92 F-body, OEM 9 bolt with disk. (Touring) PBR Single Caliper, 12.00" x .81" Rotors
I'm thinking I could go with '95 Vette ZR1 fronts/rear...but I'm not sure of the thickness of those rotors. Also, would 13" fit? I haven't looked that close at my setup to see if they'd clear or not.
I'm seeing DBA makes Baer rotors and I might be SOL...however, 93-97 FBody rotors may fit the rear.
If I'm going to be spending $700 or so for freakin' BAER rotors, I'll just junk this setup and go w/ EbMiller.
Thanks!

Re: Baer Rotors or System Replacement?
arent they just c4 HD rotors?
if you can return them, maybe try a set and take some measurements amd see if they are the same

Re: Baer Rotors or System Replacement?
They aren't the HD's, b/c those are 13". Yeah, that's what I plan to do, just get one and test fit them. I read that the "rear" vette rotors are different offset, so it'd have to be front vette rotors all around...Idk the truth to it, but we'll see.
