So I was surfing around and found a sale on a Bear 13" rear brake upgrade kit here: http://tinyurl.com/o4bb5

They say you use your stock calipers. When I did my fronts I got new calipers.

So do you think that I need new calipers, or will this kit work?

Thanks

They are larger to reduce brake fade - they don't get as hot nearly as fast. Plus...they look sorta cool all big n junk lol... Just get a set of cobra rear brakes, I love mine.
