SSBC vs Baer vs C5 conversion

Has anyone done a technical comparison on the SSBC LT1 front brake conversions (calipers, rotors, bracket, etc) compared to other kits available?

How about the SSBC force 10 supertwin and the SSBC force 10 tri-poer Compared to:
Bear GTP two piece 13.X" rotor?
The C5 conversion (Bob bishop or G2 version)?

I was looking for any info from price, rotor diamter, rotor replacement costs, to contact area of the pad/rotor mating surface.

I haven't seen a SSBC setup for 4th gens. Do they make one?

Re: SSBC vs Baer vs C5 conversion

SSBC makes the Force 10 Tri-power three piston set-up mentioned above and their Force 10 Extreme, which is a four piston set-up. They also offer rotors and pads for the rear.

I talked to them last fall at Year One's Commerce Challenge and, right now, I'm leaning towards their four piston set-up for my 2000.

Take a look at their website: http://www.ssbrakes.com/

Re: SSBC vs Baer vs C5 conversion

Based on the pricing on SSBC's website I'd be leaning toward the Bishop brackets if Trackbird is planning on making another batch. My second choice would be the Baer GT+ setup when another GP comes along. Thats's assuming you need that much braking.
