Default Baer 14" Rear Rotors VS Stock?

Has anyone install the rear baer 2 piece rotors on their car? What's the weight difference? How about difference in weight for front rotors? Also, is there a company that make 2 piece rear rotors stock size?

How did you get those big brakes to fit under bullet wheels? They look awesome. Got any more close up pics of your wheels?

Because they're 20's. Most modern wheels 18-20'' will fit big brake kits. Man, that's a beautiful job you did jblood aesthetically on the car too!

That's not true, because I had 20" bullets and they would not fit Big brakes without major spacers. Maybe he has spacers on.

Wow, I thought most 20's would clear a 12-14'' rotor... Guess not.

Offset issue?

Most other 20's and 18's in fact would clear BBK, but the bullet's design doesn't have enough room to clear the caliper. When I had the 20's the rims would barely clear the stock calipers.

Also to mention. The 20's bullet can clear the 14" rotors just not the calipers.

Does anyone know if the Baer GT Plus and the Rear Rotor kit would clear on Shelby Alcoa's?

Don't mean to hijack the thread.

I have 9x18 bullits in front, and they fit the Stop-tech 2-peice-4 piston 14" template with no spacers. Erik

Yes there is a spacer on the front. I didnt want to go with spacers buts its only a 5mm. There was not many wheels to select from after I got the brake kit. Anyone looking to do this should keep in mind that the Brembos and this Baer kit have pretty winde calipers so not many wheels will fit. All 20"'s should fit the rotors though. Buff here is a picture
