Other than a kit from Baer.

Does this mean that no one has upgraded to 13" brakes or that everyone has a Baer system?

Ummmm, ok, other than Baer who else makes a 13" kit for our cars? Oh, I guess Brembo does but if you think Baer is expensive then price the kit from Brembo.

If you are looking for an inexpensive way to get 13" rotors up front good luck.

Ditto to what Jeff said.

I've had my track system for about 4-5 years or so, and my wife's 96 Ram Air has had the 13" Track up front for about 3 years.

Over the last year or so, SS Brakes, Aerospace.., and a few others have been offering parts and kits. I've always stayed away from the aftermarket kits that use non standard type rotors or calipers. I like to be able to find repair parts locally when needed (not that I've had to). Also, several companies are offering 'street kits' that use 2-4 piston calipers and thinner rotors. Great for lightweight rod, but not the best when you need heavy repeated braking when street driving or auto-crossing.

Yep, Baer kits can be pricey, but not really any worse than any other complete brake system upgrade.

Hey Kevin, I finally got Baer brakes!

Remember I was pestering you about 2 years ago?
