BAER big brake kit

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Z)</div><div class='quotemain'>so, if we got the Gs with calipers upfront and in the back.........we cant use the same kit on both front and rear?????</div>

no, the calipers on the back are much smaller - the only rear bbk as far as I know is the powerslot one. Besides, the front does a good majority of the braking, and anything bigger on the back would be a waste.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(wanderingpinoy)</div><div class='quotemain'><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Z)</div><div class='quotemain'>another question..........stock calipers are single or two piston calipers?

if they're single, is there any modifying involved if the big brake kit comes with 2 piston calipers?</div>

Sone of the older Galants had 2 piston calipers stock, but otherwise its one piston.

The Baer BBK I believe is 2 piston, and should be direct bolt on.</div>

so there's nothing special to do when going from a 1 to 2 piston calipers right

guys know if any of the 2g or 3g set ups bolt on 8gs?

nothing special if you are using the 8g galant/3g eclipse 2 piston caliper. but if you are using an aftermarket kit there might be. check with the manufacturer to see.

Sorry I meant to say rear suspension and there a 5 lug pattern. Of course I am only basing this on the fact that the 2G KYB Shock for the rear fits the 8G.

most of the rear brake parts we share with the 2g eclipse. i mean at least for the rear disc setup

[DE-StratRT]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the 4 lug, -5 lug bit is based on the engine installed. V6's seem to have the 5 lug, I4's the 4 lug. Can anybody verify my thoughts here.

There all 5 lug based on my Staggering Guide.

Not true... I have a I4 with a 5 lug pattern. Rear disc brakes tend to be either turbo or V6 rides. Of course there are some I4's out there with the upgraded rear disc brakes.

Bottom line is if anyone is willing to use the rear brake conversion for a AWD GSX. I don't have a listing so I don't even know if there is even such a thing.

[Censee]

are these baer calipers 2 piston calipers?

[DE-StratRT]

The ones I bought are

whats the stock calipers on your car??

[DE-StratRT]

Single caliper. it's a 2004 Stratus R/T Coupe with the V-6. Pretty much the same parts as an 00-04 Eclipse. You can look at pics of the baer kit on my web page (link is in my sig, look in the How To section).
