On a ****ing dime. When I had the stock front and c5/ls1 rear it was good, now I can make my seatbelt choke the **** out of me.

With the Baer kit, just driving around with normal driving you can't really tell you've got anything special, but when I've had to slam on the brakes a couple of times, I thought my spine was going to snap.
The baer kit is pricey too, I think I was looking at 1250 for the fronts alone. I paid 750 for this and some people can do it themselves if they have machine tools and spend like 200 on parts and that is all. Replacement rotors and pads are much cheaper as well, not to mention you have a much wider selection.

Just curious as to where/whom you brought it from? I think it a great deal.
