Baer Brake Track Kit
 
Anyone out there using this kit, if so how are they?

I have the 13" Baer Track Kit and it's much better stopping power over stock 11" rotors. I would recommend the C5 setup if they'll fit inside your rims; didn't fit my 17" Enkei Winn rims. Not all 17" rims have the same inside clearance.

I've got LS1 brakes with C5 rotors. Thats basically the same as the Track kit. I love it! Awsome braking, lower cost, and the pads and rotors are readily available when I need them.

The Baer track kit is basically the C4 corvette caliper, with a 13" rotor. The Baer GT kit is the C5 corvette caliper and a 13" rotor, and the rotor is thicker on the C5 system.

If it were me, I would try to find an adaptor bracket to mount the C5 caliper to your F-body. That's what I did. HUGE upgrade. Bob Bishop is the most popular bracket, but he stopped making them. You can find imitations on Ebay I believe. My entire C5 front conversion cost me about $860 including all the needed parts shown in the pic below, including shipping.
