I have the 13" Baer Track Series rotors all the way around with Baer calipers up front and stock calipers out back. I'm using Raybestos pads.

I hate the Baer brakes.....they were on the car when I got them and I would love to get rid of them!!!

Oh without a doubt. They look really good and stop GREAT. The problem I have with them is the constant CLICKING noise coming from the rear rotors. It never goes away. I talked to Baer and they said it was "normal". Something about superheated air coming out the back of the holes. It makes a popping sound. The front are just fine.

have you tried getting them replaced by chance under a warranty or is there a way to make the holes bigger to keep the quieter?
