Finally! Baer extreme plus front big brake kit installed!

well finally after months of waiting for the kit to arrive, then finding out it doesnt fit, then searching for a wheel that would fit, last nite i finally installed this kit.it looks good and works even better. i mean this thing really gets you stopped quick. i had to use my 20s for now but i am going with a 22 inch american racing rt-s in black. i have one wheel so i test fitted it and it cleared. i have pics but theyre cell phone ones so enjoy!

test fit on the rt-s

Looks good!!! What offset did you end up having to go with for the wheels?

the rt-s are +30mm but i think the design of the wheel helps with clearance

Is there a big and noticeable difference in stopping power?
How many pistons in the caliper?
And I cant remember but what was the cost of the kit and what site or where did you purchase it from?

ive never had a brake kit before but compared to stock its way better like nite and day. with this kit i dont have to put as much pressure down on the brake pedal. these calipers are 6 piston and i got it at styling concepts but the price went up like 800 bucks since i bought it

Very nice. So can you give us a step inside your shoes, your reactions when stepping on it. Anything to help us identify with the magnitude of change from stock?
