Why do people go to all the expense and trouble to run Viper front disks when Baer makes a 4 piston caliper 13 inch kit for $1495...Not limited to Mustang wheels? I originally was going Viper w AR Eng but $$$$ by the time your done

I agree with you Allen. The Baer kit is a bargain. Especially for what you get. PBR calipers (same as on an 03-04 Mustang Cobra), drilled/slotted rotors (same as what's on a 03/04 Mustang Cobra), new hub and caliper bracket.

I have this kit (still in boxes). I'm also going to go with their 11.7" kit (guess what, parts are similar to that same Mustang Cobra!)

Not only is it less $$$, and they are still quality parts, but lets say you have something happen to your brakes. Finding pads, rotors, and calipers is a lot easier and less specialized. Want upgraded pads and rotors? The aftermarket has a plethora to choose from at decent prices (we're talking mustang quantities compared to viper quantities).

To me its a no brainer.

The ARE kit is designed with the 0 offset wheels in mind. He made a special kit for Tim Werner's Valiant so he could use Mustang wheels in front. Tim's Valiant uses a b-body rear so the mustang wheels fit with no modifications to the rear kit.

The Viper kit is well engineered and may even work better than Baer kit. But I feel the numerous cost advantages of the Baer kit outweigh ARE's Viper kit.
