Default BAER vs BREMBO--Who makes the best 15" brake system and why?
15" BAER vs. 15" BREMBO

Does one have a performance edge over the other?

Are their top-of-the-line stuff about the same price?

Who's got the bragging rights right now??

I want to use a 15" system for my wheels that's why I'm specifying that size.



Thanks

What car are you using these on?

If the car is fairly small, that size of rotor will probably hurt your performance more than help it. A 15 in. rotor carries a lot of weight.

This said however, if Bling is what your seeking, 15 in rotors are pretty impressive.

Doing a mopar E-body like TJ.....

he did the BAER 15" rotors & 6S calipers, but wondering how it would compare to what Brembo has to offer against those.

Stoptech has carbon brake kits for sale. A set retails for $15,000.

andrewmp6, the Baer's 6s calipers are completely different animals than their PBR calipers that are also used on the C5/6's.
