Got my Baer rotors and painted calipers today!

I put this in exterior since I did this brake upgrade mostly for looks, although I did gain some performance benefit as well.

Painted my calipers Arrival Blue and got these nice drilled, slotted Baer rotors from Jason at A+. Can't wait until late spring when I do the matching Baer rear disc conversion. Let me know how these look:









Thanks!

Looks good Steve ! I like the color matched calipers. Too bad the rotors don't stay that nice looking for long .

Yeah I'm gonna probably upgrade to bigger ones when I do the rear disc conversion. But for now, definitely nicer than stock. Baer's website is a little whacky right now, but I plan to see what size the rotors are that come with the kit as soon as they get their products back up.

Steve I TOLD you it would look great! One thing tho, you have the rotors on the wrong sides! Those slots should look like they would slap the ground not poke it. The reason for this is to vent the gases from hard brakeing. The way you have the slots the gases will build up near the center of the hub holding in the heat. If you flip them the rotating of the rotor allows the hot gases to be vented.




Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.

Hmmm they came with instructions that the mechanics were looking over and these guys are performance specialists, but I'll have a look and get them to redo if needed.

Thanks!

The easiest way to tell is that if they are ONLY things that they have are the holes then yes they go the way you have them cause the vains aren't straight so they catch the air as it spins and the air flows out of the holes cooling the rotors. BUT if they have slots
they go the other way cause they are ment to shed the heat NOT scoop up the air as it has no where to go to. That and they SHOULD have been marked right and left.

And no problem Steve glad to help you.

Steve You know what I just saw that the slots on yours do NOT extend all the way to the edge of the rotor so either way you run them the heat and gases can't go anywhere. Your slots are basicly for looks. Nothing wrong with that but what it means is you can run them either way. BUT if those slots extended to the very edge of the rotor ( like mine ) then yours would be backward but your fine.

Sorry for any mixup.
