Look at something other than Baer brakes -- frankly -- they're not great street brakes. Look at StopTech or Wilwood... they have far better street manors. I find that Baer brakes don't work worth a damn on the street - they just take too much heat to get working - and street driving doesn't create any heat. To make them work at all - you have to go to a super agressive pad. I actually used to think it was something I'd done wrong -- then figured out it's the Baer brakes.
Welcome to LatG!
Nice car! Is this a recent purchase, or has it been in the family for a while?
Thank you. It' a recent purchase I picked up about a couple months ago.

Good to know. I was initially looking at the Wilwood and was told that they were not as good either. I'll take a look at the stoptech setup.
Welcome!! You have a nice starter there. I see you say you're new from Houston, but your location says DFW. If you're in Dallas, I'm in Mesquite. Keep us posted with lots of pics.
