I bought these very recently from MartyO in case I ever bought another MM.
I just had the rotors turned today for the future owner.
The pads can be reused, they appear to have 75%+ remaining.

I need the money, so I am forced to sell these.

$700 shipped unless you are in a crazy rural area where it costs way more.
No shipping to Canada!
Lower 48 Only.

Can go out tomorrow.
Contact me through PM's for the paypal addy.

The discolored part on the right rotor is where a wiz disk was used and took the anodizing off.

I bought Killjoy's set and put them on last weekend....

Love them!

Sheared my stick on road force balance weights right off the wheels!

Static balance only with these big boys!

The stick on weights come in a thin or thick profile, gotta use the thin ones.

My local speed shop doesn't carry them.:(

The static isn't so bad....but now I get a bit of steering wheel wobble over 70.

I realize the brakes have been sold but somewwhat along these lines---does anyone know what the preferred or best in their opinion replacement pads are for the Baers?.....also I am gonna need to have mine turned a bit---anyone know what specific type equipment a shop would need for these drilled and slotted rotors---?....I thought I read somewhere where it takes a special type of tool --and not just any plain old brake shop--cause there beauties cost a lot ya know!!!

Anyway thanks for any help

Any shop with a normal brake lathe can cut these rotors, dont let them tell you they can't.
As for pads, 98-04 C5 Vettes is the application, get them in Ceramix from NAPA.

No way is a static balance okay on any wheel wider than like a 14x4.5 from the 1950's. There are two types of 1/4 oz tape weights, and the regular ones like I use are extremely thin and will clear anything. If your shop won't buy those kind just buy some online, they are really cheap, and bring them with you and have them re balance.

I've had these brakes for four years and they are excellent. I have had pad transfer issues with the Baer pads requiring periodic deglazing but not machining. I just cut them for the first time and am replacing the pads with the NAPA Ceramix. I'll follow up after I get some miles on them. As for balancing, the thin tape-a-weight works fine. If your tire store has a Hunter GSP 9700 road force balancer it has a feature where you set the wheel spoke location and you can hide the weight on or behind the spoke.
