detjoe Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Just saw the post on another site and wondered what your thoughts were seems cool,cost effective and a good upgrade. Discuss. Might be worth a GP over here if we could work it out??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drako Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 I have been following it on GMFS. It is a great and MUCH cheaper alternative to bears. However I am sitting on the fence and will be for a while until I see a few more install's and the longevity is tested. From what I remember the brackets are under $200 for all 4. Whats pricey is the actual calipers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 but its still way cheaper than anything else. this might be my last mod after I get these heads/cam sorted out and maybe a drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTMD8R_SS Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 This mod is on my to do list. If i remember correctly 1bad2k is going to do the conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelleyperformance Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 looks pretty good... it was fairly confusing whether they would work with the baer eradispeeds or not. i dont like the powerslots, for cosmetic reasons. i have a truck at the shop and i think the owner will jump on this, so i can get a set on there and get some pictures and results up.

blackvert Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 also waiting on longevity tests....not too thrilled with aluminum caliper adapters but the price is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John I am pretty sure if a few more of "you people" ( the tech guys) give the ok on the design and in practice application of this.....people will frekin jump on this.

04CHASE Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 ive already sold my set i was going to use so there will be some that will be trying it for sure. btw , the baer 6s kit uses aluminum brackets as long as they are thick enough it hsould be fine.

misterp Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 These are a steal, I'm glad to see someone did the legwork and figured it out. Basically performance 14" brakes for the price of Alumasports but with 6-pistons up front and I'm sure none of the dreaded brake squeal as the pads wear down. Mr. P.
