Baer Rotor Replacements

[Zack]

I know Fordnut made a mention of this in another thread, but I felt it needed a little more attention...

Many say the DBA rotors are quite difficult to get, and in a timely fashion.

Deal with this company:
www.knsbrakes.com

3 business days from the time I ordered to the time they were at my doorstep.
His name is Mark and hes a 1 guy operation. Super friendly, helpful and straight shooter.

Part #'s are as follows for the rotors only:
52102.1XSL
52102.1XSR

Fordnut's original (and quite helpful thread) here:

The calipers are awesome though! They are made by PBR, same company who makes the Mach1/Cobra calipers.
Rotors are GARBAGE

sweet deal, I ordered some 2 years ago from somewhere else and never saw them. The other places I called said they couldn't sell them to me in the US :lol:
Good lookin out man.

I've been searching for replacements and found this thread. and spoke to the guy at www.knsbrakes.com (http://www.knsbrakes.com/) and he told me theirs a 8 to 10 week wait because they have to ship them from Australia does this sound about rite ?

i got mine in 3 days, Ken (i think thats his name) is a super nice guy. the rotors weren't cheap but i needed em

[kariamack]

I know that i spoke to him .there 500 dollars but he said it will take 8 to 10 weeks ..is that right or maybe he has the wrong parts number . i gave him the ones that are listed

[ImpalaSlayer]

i went with slotted only but like i said, i got then in just a few days

Hello -

Several of you here have gotten the Baer/DBA rings to fit up your kits that need new rotors so I was posting to see how they worked out.

Currently we have blank rings only available and a couple sets of slotted and slotted/drilled coming over on the slow boat.

I got mine long ago, they are working great. Glad Zack found you, it was hard to work with DBA directly since they work more on the wholesaler rather than retail level of customers. They didn't seem real interested in onesy-twosey sales volume.

[Da Dark Jedi]

I tried entering the part numbers and no go. Are there any updated numbers?

[BODYMAN]

Thanks for posting up Ken Iam gonna be in need of them in the near future. I will come to you at that time Thanks!

Ken put together a nice package for me with DBA discs, Stoptech rear rotors, and Hawk pads all around. I'm awaiting their delivery so I can install them. Great to work with, and full of history on the Baer/DBA relationship's early days.

I love seeing these old Zack man threads come alive.
