yorgog Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 I ordered the baer eradispeed plus 1. I also ordered Earls stainless brake lines and ATE Super Blue racing brake fluid. I want to order pads. I think I am going to go With the SBS brake pads. The only question I have is are the Bear rotors thickness. Do I get the same ones as stock. I think that is what I am going to need. I only paid $1055 to my door for the Baer system. I need some more info because I would like to have everything here when I do the install.

TurbochargedBerserker Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 SuperDave: ... This time he had a half a truck length on me. Still not enough to offset the $$. Oh yeah, my old truck only has anti lock on the rear. His was 4 channel 4 wheel anti-lock. He should have smoked me on the test. ... I think the 0-70 braking distance for SSS is 190(ish) feet. If he was a 1/2 a truck length behind you, he stopped roughly 30 feet sooner than you did. I know your truck has the brake up grade, but since we don't know the distance you took to stop let's use 190 (which makes the % increase on your buddy's system smaller in any case). So he stopped in 160 feet. 160/190 = 84% He beat you by 16%... To me, that is a pretty big upgrade. To put it another way, how much would you pay for a mod that gains you 2.84 seconds in the 1/4? Or could boost your skidpad number by .11? Or even 55 horsepower? Bet we're talking a thousand now In the end? I wouldn't pay for a brake upgrade until my horsepower called for it, or like SuperDave did, I had to do it anyway. Um... Wow this is an old thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I have used a set of the Bendix Ultimate pads on my '99 Expedition, and *loved* them. Unless I hear differently, I plan to buy a set for my SS. Does anyone here have experience/comparisions between these pads and the Hawk/PFC compounds?? Mr. P.

SuperDave Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 I only paid $1055 to my door for the Baer system. Did you buy your EradiSpeeds online, or locally? That's a pretty darn good price! Some of the others may be interested! Good info, I really like the Hawk pads, they work well with stock or aftermarket brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Hey fellas There was an article in Truckin about the Eradispeed +1 and the Alumasport kits from Baer. It showed some impressive numbers, especially if you are going to larger wheels than the stock 20s. They actually stopped in a shorter distance with 22's than with the stock hardware and stock wheels. Wizard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
