I went with Willwood just for the look of the rear calipers. They match the fronts with a single piece look. The Baers I found had an unfinished factory stock GM look like any street car would have.

I was leaning that way for that same reason. The baers don't look as good in my opinion. I also like them because they can be manual brakes and I like the cleaner look of just a master cylinder in a 64 vette.

I just purchased a Wilwood rear disc brake kit and did so partly because of the appearance as well.

i drive my car alot and the decider for me was that wilwoods dont have seals... my bear/touring classics do....

if you only take it out occationally and not in the rain.. go with willwood, brembo & AP are far supperior to willwood imho, bit the cost is much higher

baer's new 6s and 6p series calipers are same size all around, they work very well and are similer priced to a big wilwood kit. Baer is making there own calipers now, its not the pbr's of old.
