Re: baer

You can do a whole lot better than $1200 for C5s.

Re: baer

The Baer Kit is very good, but more expensive than need be. I have one and also an ed miller kit.

The baer kit also uses a special baer only rotor that works with their off set. This rotor can only be bought from baer and they are over $200 each.

Re: baer

Nope, I'm just busy and working 72+ hrs per week at the moment at the real job. I have your PMs but I try to reply to folks in order. I'll get back to you over the weekend or hopefully today if time allows.

Thanks for the patience.

Hey Ed,

No rush, but put me in line for that info on the C5 swap.

Thanks,
