Brake up grade is here

At least the Baer kit that is on Sarge's new car had two piece rotors. And, the PBR2 piston stopped the Marauder S in 15 feet shorter
Maybe pads and rotors will do you, I would love to see them side by side and drive both cars. Right now it is all conjecture as I don't know anyone who has comapred the Baer/KVR/etc set up side by side.

I can only go on what I have been told, I have never seen the kit, mentioned but look for both of us. I was told its a one solid rotor, not two piece.

With any luck my brakes will be ready before I put my car on a trailer for my Texas trip this fall. Then Sarge and I can see who stops quicker. And, no, I will not make the same test on who gets up to speed quicker!
 
JohnnyB: I haven't decided yet, but I will either use my local guy or the folks out at MustangMagic. Are you doing the upgrade too?
 
Ok guys, here it is: Today I did half of the brake upgrade. The rear rotors and carbon fiber (KVR) pads are in, the fronts are not in but will be shortly. Now before anyone flames me here, I know that the rears only do about 30% of the braking on these cars, but I wasn't ready to do the fronts yet and had time to do the rears. I also installed the Eibach springs (yes, I know Dennis doesn't like 'em, but I really do) and swaybar. The handling of the car is much improved. For such a fat boy, this is one kick azz car!! The stiffer front springs cut the nose dive from braking and the sway bar reduces body roll. The rear brakes by themselves have given me much more brake at the time with much less fade. I will report more when I do the fronts, but so far, so good! When I do the front rotors I will also be doing Dennis' shorty headers, x-pipe, and hi-flow cats. I can't wait!!

Ok guys stop reading, stop drooling, and start dialing Dennis. He will hook you up!! And, no this was NOT a paid for endorsement.

P.S. I am taking up a collection so I can buy Dennis' supercharger for my car. Anyone care to contribute?
 
LOL Well it's not that I dont like the Eibach I dont like it with 17" wheels it bounces to much, but again I will wait till I put the factory wheels back on the will give you my opinion.
 
13,000 mile on my stock MM brakes and I noticed some car and steering wheel shaking when I push on my brakes.
Sounds like fromt rotors are getting warped.

Dang-it!
