[Georgie]

YEAH I CHECKED UR SITE LIKE A THOUSAND TIMES..I CALLED UP CLASSIC TUBE, THEY NEVER GOT BACK TO ME..I GAVE THEM THE PART NUMBER M2300K AND THE GUY TOLD ME THAT WAS A FORD PART #..ANYWAYS.. ARE UR FRONT CALIPERS TWO PISTON??? AND I INTEND ON RUNNING UR SAME WHEELS EXCEPT 10" WIDE IN THE BACK... NOW FOR THE FRONT SPINDELS..IF I'M RUNNING UR SAME WHEELS, WHAT SPACER SIZE DO I NEED AND WILL THE BEAR SPINDLES FIT THE CENTER CAP ON THOSE WHEELS???

THANKS, AND BTW MY CAPS IS STUCK ON SORRY

Call Classic Tube and tell them you want the "Baer M2300K Killer kit part#1263005" that is the track front, sport rear, 5 lug all around, and baer modified spindles. The front calipers are two piston PBR calipers (same used on the Cobras) and the rears are a single pistone PBR (same used on Corvettes). As for the front, you may have to run a 1/8" spacer to clear the center caps. You could always go with the 94-95 sn95 spindles instead of the Baers too. The Baers offer a nicer hub than the sn95 but that's about it. The sn95s offer a better position of the steering arm thereby reducing bumpsteer. I run a bumpsteer kit with the modified Baer spindle and have no complaints.

So how much $$ is it from that Classictube place? I just did some quick searching and most places have it for 2400-2500$. That's wayy too much money. Is there a cheaper 5-lug conversion/brake kit?

 

[Georgie]

ok..but if i want to upgrade to 31 spline axles( moser ), what should i get...can i delete some parts from the kit??

does baer offer other kits with the same mounting parts, lines etc.. except no rear axles and 4 pistons in front??

 

[68torinogt]

Yup, you can get the kit w/ 31spline or 28 spline Dutchman axles or no axles. You can also upgrade calipers to the 6 piston Alcon calipers for the front. I decided to spring for the optional caliper polishing, 2 piece drilled, slotted, and zinc washed rotors, and ARP studs. The total for my kit shipped w/ options was about 3K.

I found classic tube to have the best price because they are the largest dealer of Baers (in other words, you can negotiate with them) and they get first priority from Baer. Unfortunately, Classic tube will get you a good price but they don't know really anything about the brake kits. To figure out what it is you want call Baer and talk to Rick 602-233-1411. He will put a kit together for you and then you will just order the kit through classic tube since Baer doesn't sell directly to the public (for less than a$$ raping retail).

You can also learn some more about what is included with each kit at this site: http://www.streetortrack.com/Disc-Brake-Conversion-Kits-c-938.html. I did a good bit of research at this site before I ordered from classic tube.

Keep in mind there are other options out there. Some will say you can piece together a junkyard kit, or go with the FMS 2300 kit, etc. I spent a few months researching all the options and decided this was the way I wanted to go. I am very glad I did but there are other options too. Good luck and feel free to shot me a PM if you have questions.

tunedine302.. will the sn95 spindles fit ur wheels???

 

[68torinogt]

the sn95 spindles work as long as you get the 94/95 will be the same width but the newer ones are 8 mm wider.

i have does a ton of research on the brake systems and upgrades. i now know where to get the m2300k killer kit so this thread was sucessful!!! thanks

 

[tunedin302]

That's right. Get the 94-95 SN95 5 lug spindles. I would also get some new hubs for the spindles.

Can the Baer kit be made to work on the 86GT? I know the Ford Racing 2300 kit can if you use 87 spindles. I assume the same would apply to the Baer kit, but I was just wondering.

whats a price tag on the m2300k killer kit?

 

[tunedin302]

whats a price tag on the m2300k killer kit?

When I bought mine, the base price was $2245

 

[Mustang5L5]

Buy, the M2300K kit, sell off the front 13" rotors and calipers for $300 and then buy the Cobra R brake kit.

What year Cobra R kit are you referring too? I assume you mean the Brembo calipers? Also, could just upgrade to the 6 piston Alcons and 14" rotors.

 

[Mustang5L5]

I meant the 2000 R brembo kit.


I think that it's overkill for a street car anyway. The Cobra or baer kit is more than enough brake for a street car.
