I'm actually contemplating changing my rear axle setup to use the Baer floater setup. I already have their rear Extreme kit, so I just need the adapter/hub kit. I haven't priced it yet, but since we are going to have to pull the rear housing to resolve a couple of leaks around some welds, that might be a good time for the swap. It will likely come down to whether we can get it done in the 3 weeks between events that I have or not. May have to wait until late March after the FW GG...
The more you track the car, the happier you will be with the floater rear. You can even get away with minimal amount of camber and toe if you want.
