Got mine in December. Followed the bedding/break in procedure, and haven't had any complaints. These things rock! I only wish I'd done it sooner.

This is what i would get when i'm ready.Thought i'd say it as to show another choice , these i likey..http://www.tceperformanceproducts.com/

No fitment problems here it's a snug fit. But that just makes it look more tasty

I had to have the drivers wheel rebalanced due to the wheel weights hitting the caliper. No fault of Baers, just a coinsidence. I removed the weight and drove over to my favorite tire shop and all was good.

Otherwise, I am a very happy customer. It's like a supercharger for the brakes!

Takes the words right out of my mouth^^^^. Rebalance the fronts and off you go........

I got mine from Trilogy Motorsports, as they are a Baer brake dealer. No fitment problems at all. You will need "low profile" tape weights to clear the calipers.

Same experience here. I like em!!

Purchased mine from Trilogy as well.

do these kits come with braided hoses? and what color are the calipers.....sorry to dig up an old thread.....thanks again.....

[DEFYANT]

Mine did not come with braided lines. My calipers were.... I dunno what color they are! Here:

thanks for the pic......so you used the factory brake hoses???

[DEFYANT]

Nope. I figured I was in this deep with a major upgrade, why skimp out on a set of SS lines.

More pics:





They might look a little crappy. About an hour before the pics, I wiped them down with a wet rag to get the brake dust off. Like most brake rotors, they clean up well after the first stop.

SS braided brake lines are available from our friend and vendor Todd@TCE. Dennis also has them, and may be a reseller of the TCE product.

I used the TCE lines on my KB#1x and I was very pleased with them. Kenny Brown only offered front kits, not the back, and none of that is available anymore. Look up TCE here in the vendor forum, or, give Dennis a call at 904.276.5003.
