Re: 13" C4 HDs Installed...who needs Baer??
Ed, don't take this the wrong way, but the reason some us use Baer is because we want something more than a 2 piston PBR caliper. There are very few people out there who make a brake that has something bigger than a 2 piston PBR caliper and Baer just happens to be the most popular.
If I were stuck choosing between 2 types of 2 piston PBR setups, I'd buy yours no questions asked. But Baer does offer a 6 piston PBR caliper that will fit 13" rotors under most 17" wheels out there.

Doesn't Ed's 13" 2 piston setup fit under 16 inch stockers? I think that's a big advantage not having to go out and spend a bunch of $$$ on wheels just to fit bigger brakes.

Re: 13" C4 HDs Installed...who needs Baer??
No offense taken. Baer offers great stuff but at a budget that some guys don't have access to. Have you looked into a Wilwood SL6 or GN 3 caliper? Both are 6 piston and work well. The GN3 pads are HUGE! I did a SL6 kit with a two piece 13" x 1.25" rotor that fit a stock 16" Z28 wheel, very similar to the 12.2" setup some guys run.
