I called to see if Baer made a 13" non drilled, non slotted rear rotor kit for my 2001 GT. I didn't want said options because I went with the Cobra Front upgrade that had standard 13" rotors. Well to make a long story short, speaking to Bill Kopinger, he informed me that that even though they didn't advertise a non-drilled kit, they'd be glad to build me a set minus the holes and slots. It may not sound like a big deal, but I was having a hell of a time finding some big rotors for the rears that wouldn't break the bank. I'll have to get back to you guys to let you know how they turned out as they aren't installed yet. And if I can figure out how, i'll post up a picture or two. Oh yeah.. $235.00 + shipping for rotors and brackets.

Are you talking about that 13" rear brake rotor upgrade that uses the stock calipers?

Yes that's the one. I'm hoping the quality is up to the Baer reputation. I guess i'll see when they're on.

I've heard of alot of issues with that rear kit. One of the reasons I stayed away from it. Maybe they got the bugs worked out.

I've also heard of issues, but I think the main problem was with the crossdrilling with no ventilation between. I heard that it was causing noise. I'm hoping my rotors cut plain won't have that problem. I'll let you all know if they work out well.

I have heard people complain of fitment problems/ bracket location issues/cable issues and one guys was locked up. I know a few who ditched them for the 11.65" Cobra rears

I don't see a point with upgrading the rears to 13's.

You must do some serious racing for that.

Yeah 13" rears seem a bit excessive to me.

considering that the rears at most to 30% of the braking, i would say that the cobra brake upgrade is all that is needed. if you really want 13s on the rear, then do it, but it doesnt offer any additional performance.

looks a lot nicer, but not worth the money.

Yeah, 13" rotors in the rear are a little overkill, but they will look great. And what the heck, if I get a little better performance then that's and added bonus. Recently the wife and I added Eibach springs, shocks, and struts. CC plates, SLP Loudmouth2 catback, Cobra front brakes, and subframe connectors. I never realized that a foxbody car could handle halfway decent, but the car has gone from understeer, to neutral/mild oversteer, which is easy to control with the feed pedal. This summer comes the KB 9#, and I figure the car will be pretty much setup for some serious fun.

I got the Baer 13" rotors on the back yesterday that are cross-drilled and slotted. I know they don't match my front Cobra 13" brakes, but they will someday when I replace the brembos.

Sweet. Those things look big even inside of the 18" wheels. Did you have any issues with the install?
