Considering upgrading my Baer brakes...

I love my Baer brakes. They are the "Track Plus" large two piston caliper brakes. They stop extremly well from high speeds, but just with my lust for speed, I lust for yet even better brakes. I was looking on Baers website a while ago, and noticed that with my rotors, steel braded brake lines, and brackets for my current setup, it would be very easy, and fairly affordable to upgrade my calipers to Baers new 6 piston setup. This is an improved setup over their previous 6 piston caliper setup that was claimed to stop a 3500 pound car from 180 miles per hour to 80 miles per hour in under 3 seconds! :drool:

I would sell my current setup (or if no one was interested, I'd put them on my LS1 Formula in my sig :hmm:)

Here's pictures of my current setup;

Here's the really hard question, which color should I get? I love the way the silver ones look (as they are the same as what I have now). I think they really make the car look mean. But I also really like the copper ones as well. They would really offset the car. The polished ones also look sweet, but I have to confess I would not like polishing them all the time to keep them looking good.

Which color should I go with?

Copper

Silver

The polished are realy sexy!!!!

but like you said, maintenance would SUCK!!!

I prefer RED for everything I own, but I think I can hear in your text.... you want the SILVER.... which do look mean bw

So are you selling your current ones?

Maybe, I haven't decided for sure yet. If I did sell them, it wouldn't be until next year at the earliest. It depends on how much I would get for them vs how much I would want to put them on my Formula.

...and yes I am leaning towards the silver ones, however I wanted to hear everyones opinion on what they think would look best.

Those copper calipers are sexy.......really sexy.

Yeah, I kind of like them also. I think they would stand out in a good way on the car.

I'm still getting info from Bear right now that will really determine if I am going to go through with this. If I can swap out just calipers and use the same bracket I have currently, then this will probably happen. However if I have to get new/larger brackets for the larger calipers along with all the other items that go along with it, then I'll be looking at a considerable amount more price wise, and I'll probably not go through with this (or if I do, it'll be a while). I am also trying to get info on how much a difference these new calipers would be. My current system is a pretty killer setup. If these aren't going to be that much of a difference, I'll probably also pass on doing this. Time will tell.

I like the copper ones, they look sick

I also like the copper ones..

How much would you be selling your current setup for? It would be just the calipers right?
