Default New Six Piston Kit Released Today From Baer!

We have been waiting to announce this kit for quite sometime. This a complete new 6 piston kit than the 6S Baer is already doing. It is slightly smaller in actual size of caliper, but don't be fooled, will brake just the same as you would expect from other similiar kits, or better.

Competively priced!!! Call Driverz for a quote, and you can read more about the system below, or now on Baer's site:



http://www.baer.com/announcements/20080627/index.php




Baer is proud to announce our new 6P caliper and PRO-PLUS Systems!

Our new 6P calipers and PRO-PLUS systems are smaller then our EXTREME-PLUS systems and components, but don't be fooled by their size. These systems are just as elegant, eye catching, and effective as its older brother, the 6S. If you're looking for something eye-catching to place under your stylish wheels, pushing your vehicle to its limits on the track, or simply wanting a strong upgrade to your existing brake system; our PRO-PLUS systems are the perfect fit with a perfect price. Other manufacturers may try and sell you their technology that they "deem appropriate for street use," but don't be fooled as Baer builds brakes for the way YOU want to drive!

The Baer 6P Caliper Performance Features:

* 6-piston configuration delivers increased driver control (modulation) and more immediate onset
* Staggered bore sizes minimize pad taper
* Stainless pistons reduce thermal-transfer from the caliper and pads into the brake fluid 2-piece construction employs 6-crossbolts to maximize caliper stiffness and rigidity
* Stiffest possible caliper design. The single most important performance element of any caliper, stiffness is the ability of the caliper to maintain its shape under all braking conditions. This optimizes the pad to rotor interface and provides the highest possible force while delivering the best “feedback” to the driver under the widest possible braking conditions. In short, Baer has it, the others don’t!
* Lightweight; Our new design allows for optimal performance, yet weighs in at just 3 pounds!

Design Features:

* 6P calipers were designed to employ the same pad as is OE on Corvette C5 and C6 applications
o What does this mean to you? This high performance pad style is available in more compounds ranging from street use to full race than that of any other pad, including many compounds available directly from Baer!
* Six bolts secure the inside caliper body to the outside, all are bolted from the inside or back half of the caliper out of sight
* Internal fluid transfer eliminates the need for an external crossover tube or outside bleeder

Esthetics:

* The ultra-smooth exterior of the 6P is then finished in a RED (STANDARD), BLACK or SILVER are no cost options
* 6P calipers are standard in all Baer Claw® PRO-PLUS systems
* PRO-PLUS systems are available in 13 or 14”, as pictured to the right
* Front 6-piston diameters are 1.625 / 1.375 / 1.1875 inches
* Rear 6-piston diameters are 1.1875 / 1.125 / 1.000 inches
* All PRO-PLUS systems feature curved vane, directional, 2-piece rotors

Brackets are available to upgrade existing Baer 13-inch TRACK systems to 6P calipers.





For more information, call us at 951-609-3483.
We will be installing this front 6 Piston on our 55 Chevy in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for pictures.

I have the AFX spindle w/ Eradispeed rotors. Do they make a direct bolt on replacement for the C5/6 2 piston caliper? It only states that the pads are the same.

Baer has updated their application list to include the C5 and C6 vettes so you should be in luck.
