After cracking second pair of Baer 13'' rotors I am sick and tired of them. Can anyone recommend good substitute for front brakes - have Baer Track Kit with 13'' rotors which are x-drilled and therefore prone to cracks - okay for daily driving but not usable for roadracing. i was looking for MOVIT's but the are asking eur 2300 for their cheapest kit...

 

Why not just get a pair of the Baer rotors without the cross-drilling?

 

Well I wanted to go for Eradispeed ones but they say on homepage that they are x-drilled and slotted...

 

Have you considered cryogenic treating?

Baer's website also says that they will custom configure brake kits with any rotor options, so undrilled rotors should be available. I'd call them.

 

slotted only...no drilled. or if you can find them...blanks.

oh, and someone pointed out to me the other day that NASCAR doesnt run blanks because they're better than slotted/drilled but because it's a weight issue. the cars have to be a specific weight and if they can shave weight in a specific area and not on the rotor then they'll sac the braking for weight...just something to think about.

i dont believe in all the myths about drilled or dimpled rotors...but if GM, BMW, and Porche use them then they must be good for something

 

Well he says they cracked anyway and he did only autocross not roadracing where you have speeds of 100mph. And honestly braking performace of Baer even with HP+ pads was not the one I'd expect. But before saying yes to MOV'its - are there any other options? Stoptech doesn't produce kits for 1996.
