Baer brakes ???
I am about to upgrade my brakes on my 93 GT. I have decided on Baer but not what size to get. Should I go with thier kit that has 12" rotors front and back or step it up and get the kit with 13" rotors front and back. Itake it to the road course and drive it hard about twice a year the rest is just street driving. My big issue is that I like my 17" ROH Snypers that are on it now and I don't want to get rid of them unless that 13" kit is well worth it(it only comes in an 5-lug kit). New wheels = lot's of $$$$
I would really appreciate any help on this. This will be my first real brake ugrade.

RE: Baer brakes ???
the 13" baer kit will fit in your 17" wheels.. however, you are going to pay alot of money for the name.
Baer uses cobra calipers, brackets, and rotors... so just buy the cobra upgrade kit. Its cheaper

exactly right! I'm running Baer Claw 13" fronts and 12" rears with four lug TSW 17X8s. One thing to remember when you upgrade to larger brakes and stay with four lug wheels, there is NO four lug spacesaver spare that will work!. Won't clear the calipers.Not even the 12" ones. I've even tried the '93 Cobra aluminum spare & it won't work either. Plan on putting together a flat kit with a plug kit, 12 volt pump and a can of fix-a-flat. Oh, and keep your AAA membership paid. And a cell phone and charger in your car.
Full size spare rim, then you will be set
