Replacing 2nd Set of Baer Front Brakes

Yeah, keep us posted.

I don't know about a brake company rep telling me to go smoke the brakes for "deposits". I've been taught by General Motors Factory Service Training Center personnel that blue rotors and smoking pads are bad things. :shake:

On high quality brakes...not those that would some from General Motors, Ford...or most any "factory" brake set-ups....it is VERY important to "seat" the brakes....otherwise you can get "glazing" on the calipers and rotors.

The advice given to John from Baer was correct (and also given to JD ^^^ from Todd @ TCE). "Seating" is Not good to do with cheap factory brakes...but ESSENTIAL to do with REAL brakes. :up:

Can improper seating cause that annoying squeak when the brakes are applied? :confused:

Thanks for the info. I will be upgrading after I get the Trilogy and driveshaft.
General Motors 'W' body cars used to need seating after turning the rotors, you almost had no brakes at all unless you went out and heated them up pretty good, but I found that if after the lathe finished it's cutting, I took a ScotchBrite pad on a die grinder and put a nice swirl pattern on the rotors while the lathe was still turning and then installed them they would not need seating, in fact they would be at the best ever, better than new rotors that had the 'ground' finish. Anybody try this with the Baers?
 
I've never heard of this happening to any other cars with the Baer Package, ie: Mustang, Camaro, Firebird, ect. ect. ect....
Is this Marauder specific only ?
I'm also interested in the Baer Package, but I'm going to wait on this one, might even think about the KVR kit from Dennis if the Baer kit keeps acting up. :shot:
