Baer's Latest Rotor

[carbuff]

Thanx for the explanation, it helped. I understand the full-floater rear end concept, what I didn't get was that the rotor/hat in this part was set up to 'float' in the radial direction. That wasn't obvious to me from the couple of pictures I have seen, but your explanation made it clear.

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.

Does anyone know how Baer handles the axles for their floater kit? Do you have to take measurements and then contact them to special order them? I would expect every setup to be different. If so, what kind of lead time does they have?

Thanx!

Axles for the floater rear are usually the responsibility of the end-user... At least they were when I got my kit nearly 3-years ago (wow - time flies). Axles are available from Speedway and are "off the shelf" with, for all intents, zero lead time unless you have some radically odd rear end width.

And +1 on the R-Spec rotors - they are awesome. I've had them on the front for a while and will be adding a set on the rear here shortly. Brake solutions sure have come a long way in a short time.
