you dont use any old brake parts up front, you reuse the rear calipers though

I love the way Baers look!

Those dirty lookin' tires are another story though!

your gonna need the cobra calipers, pads, lines, banjo bolts and 13" rotors up front.

for the rear you can use your stock calipers, cobra brake pads(thinner) but you will need to purchase the cobra rear caliper mounting plates to install the 11.65" rotors. and installing the mounting plates requires the removal of the rear axles!!!!a pita if your a novice.

for an alternative in the rear you can do the steeda rear 13" upgrade kit that includes the rotors and mounting plates that DO NOT require the removal of the axles....a true bolt on.

For the rear you could also go with the Baer Eradispeed 13.25" rotors which can be had for about $220 + shipping and use the factory caliper, they come with a bracket that doesn't require removal of the axle.
