This kit is cheaper

I plan on doing this along with the 13" Cobra front brakes soon. I'm getting 18" wheels so i need bigger rotors to help fill the wells better.

I agree. Anuone who buys these kits is kinda forced to get slotted/drilled fronts.
I'm gonna email baer about this. Maybe if they get enough emails they will offer the kit with regular rotors instead and maybe even make it a tad cheaper.

They should be available in either slotted or cross drilled.
Slotted/Cross drilled rotors aren't good together.

Exactly.
Plus look at it this way. If you were to upgrade to Cobra 11.65" brakes, you would need to pull the axles and change the caliper mounting brackets. It's not tough, but your average stanger doesn't want to do that. Now for $250 you get a bracket that moves your stock caliper up, a 13" rotor and you don't need to bleed the brakes and it fills out the rear wheel for those running open spoke 17" and 18" wheels.

I have a thing for big diameter brake kits. I have one of PPI's 13" Cobra brake kits on my '88 LX along with rear SVO/Mark 7 11.35" disk brakes. It hauls my light LX down from speed REAL fast.

Most likely i'll go with one of their kits again. I might get the red Bullitt 13" kits this time and paint my rear calipers red to match. I plan on doing the fronts first. Hopefully by then maybe Baer will have come up with a solid 13" rear rotor for their kits. I am really not into the slotted/crossdrilled thing. I want a big rear disk to fill in the empty space that will be there when i get my 18" bullitts or Saleen wheels.
For $250 though, it's a steal. PPI sells the Cobra/Bullitt 12" (11.65") rear brake kits for $400 but you need to pull the axles to install these. The one downside to this rear kit is that it uses a solid 1/2" thick rotor like the GT/V6. The Cobra/Bullitt/Mach 1 uses a 1" thick vented rotor that disappates heat better. If you plan on doing any racing or anything, then this kit really isn't for you. That solid rotor will warp real fast. But for most of us street guys, it will fill in those rear wheels quite well, and i think that's what most of us are looking for.

yeah, i have been eyeing the bullitt kit with the plain oem brembo rotors also for some time now. I am not a big fan of slots or drills either. The 13 inch rear rotor conversion I think would be perfect if they offered a plain rotor version.
