Default Baer SS vs. SSBC

This may not be pro-touring upgrade, but I am looking to get rid of my drums and cant really upgrade to larger wheels then my current 15'' TT2's. So it looks like Baer Serious Street or SSBC 2-piston systems. Both are priced fairly close, but what about east of install for a 69 camaro, and quality? My shop told me they have had to do some extra work to get Wilwood systems in, so focused on these two right now.

Thanks,
Tim

Baer ss4+ all the way. great products. I have had several issues with ssbc in the past and no longer sell them either because of the poor quality and horrible customer service. I am a dealer for Baer and can get you a great price on a kit with free shipping.

Default Baer is my choice!

Baer is great for ease of install and follow up service!!

Also you can fit the TTII's with a bit of massaging.Thats what I did....
