Please specify which kit..the link goes to the front kit page and doesn't show just one kit. If you are referring to the 13" Track kit, I know some guys on here run that kit. I've heard only good comments on Baer's stuff. The only exception is that their rotors are very expensive, but IMO their kits are over priced...I can build you a 13" x 1.1" C4 HD kit with braided lines, zinc washed and drilled/slotted rotors for $1000 all day long.

The baer track kit is great but pricey. i have the two piece kit which i love the looks but you pay for it. however for what i wanted with the car the looks superceed other options indefinately for the extra $400 i spent. would have been cheaper but the polished caliper and special color for the aluminum hat added a good $250 on to the price. I would much rather have a 4 piston setup but no one seems to make a kit for our cars.

The quality of the kit is excellent, the rotors are pricey but very well built and they last. you get everything you need in one shot and they work. keep up on the pads and you will be just fine. i have 20,000 miles on mine and they look the same as the day i installed them.

i am currently thinking replacing my 2 piston track setup with their alcon 6. i would only recommend the track kit with the 2 piece option as otherwise in the looks department you can get the same performance/looks out of other much cheaper oe units.

ed has been around for quite sometime, if you need help he's the one to talk to.
