SSBC vs baer/wilwood
 
ANyone with experience in using SSBC, BAER, Wilwood systems? Looking at 13" front and 14" rear disc with 6 piston calipers. Trying to decide which direction to go. I do not like the look of the bear track calipers, but the baer monoblock seem alot more expensive then similar "looking" SSBC or Wilwood billet calipers.

Any help would be appriciated!

I would think you want the 14" in the front and the 13" in the rear.

How much do you plan on spending on your brakes? I personally like the Baer systems as they are rock solid and very reliable. I have heard of problems with the Wilwoods. I think the SSBC's are cheaper, but with my brakes, cheap was never an option. Brakes need to be rock solid. I choose Baer.

I dont think there is a right or wrong choice here. BUT, You may want peoples opinion on customer service. My 2 pennies is I think Baer is a great system if they would get rid of the ugly rear caliper, really needs to match the fronts. Wilwood from what I've heard is real nice and I have spoke to them on the phone more than once about some systems. SSBC Force 10 system is nice looking but I think they're pricing includes some extras that I personally don't need. But I suppose if I would call and talk to them they could build a system to suit my needs. Brakes is a little down the road for me but I would call all three and weigh them out yourself.

Wilwood, They look by far better and are a bit cheaper. I am looking at a set of 12.19 cross drilled and slotted with 4 piston Dynalite Calipers on all 4 corners delivered to my door ready to install for about $2000.

Baers kit is only a 2 piston up front and 1 piston in the back.
