Yeah, I just got my internet back and went and checked them out. Yeah, it was the ones without the Calipers I was talking about. But I do know for a while Lethal Performance had the ones that included the Rear calipers as well for $1800. So to me it's seems better to just save the extra $500 and get the rear calipers too.

Hi Boozshey,
Baer doesn't offer a kit with a rear caliper for the S197GT.
HTH!

Hey There,
AP Racing - as a point of reference, in 2006 alone, AP Racing brakes were chosen by the series winners in Formula One (Alonso), NASCAR Nextel Cup (Johnson), Busch Series (Harvick), Craftsman Trucks (Bodine), LeMans 24 Hours (Magnusson, Gavin & Beretta), LMP2 (Maassen & Lohr), GT1 (Gavin & Beretta), GT2 (Bergmeister), GrandAm GT (Lally), Daytona Prototype (Bergmeister), BTCC (Neal), DTM (Schneider), WTC (Priaulx), Australian V8 Supercars (Kelly), P-WRC (Al Attiyah), British Group N (Higgins), and more.
Also, specialty manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Bugatti, Caterham, Holden HSV, Koenigsegg, Lotus, Noble, Spyker, TVR and more rely on AP Racing as the brake kits they install as standard equipment. Says something for sure. Here is a picture of the 6 piston front brake.
<<SNIPPED>>
As always, feel free to give me a call (866-278-8287 x134) or shoot me an E-mail (PageN@Stillen.com) if there is anything I can do to help.

No offense but I've been in the performance autoparts manufacturing and distribution business and we provided andrecieved a lot of free ornearly free stuff to use on race and show cars. Coming from a vendor youmust know this and the offerto sell is inappropriate in this thread.
HTH!

RE: Aftermarket brake kits
Oh I had mistaken this for having rear calipers also, but it looks like it's just brackets and rotors..

RE: Aftermarket brake kits
Thanks for the level set F1Fan. I have to admit the big brakes talk can be contagious - not that I regret going with the AP Racing 4 pots - frankly they area huge improvement over the stock brakes and I was going with 18" wheels anyway - maybe if NASA rescinds the 18" wheel allowance I'll look at something else.
Is there anything that you would think that could be improved on the Baer GT Plus package. I have had ZERO luck with Baer products in the past but then again, if I used that as the only measure I would never have bought this Mustang because I have had ZERO luck with Ford products in general until now.
I know that there is a whole lot of research going on around brake systems that may make it to the products we have available so curious what your thoughts are.
