Re: FS: Baer Brakes setup $1800obo

well the calipers are PBR, and have the same stampings as my C5 rear calipers that i have...plus they have the same backing plates. I don't think that it's the same backing plate as ls1. And yes, they have the drum style parking brake.

For ease of sale, i'm just going to sell the front kit. I'll think about what the price should be.

those might be rear ls1 from a non traction control car (i could be wrong), whats the number etched into the back of the caliper?

Re: FS: Baer Brakes setup $1800obo

I think youre right , sorry.
but just looked up in old installpapers of Baer where I read that I can use vette C5 brake pads for replacement??? are these the same as LT1
original they are PBR rear brakes and delivered in the BAER rear brake kit.

Nothing to be sorry about, this stuff isn't always intuitive and Baer isn't going to tell you what the OEM application is if they don't have to.

Perhaps this will help:

LT1 rear calipers use a D413 pad.

LS1 rear calipers use a D750 pad.

C5/C6 rear calipers (not Z06 & ZR-1, of course) use a D732 pad.

I think that the Baer documents were referring to the '88-'96 C4 Corvettes, which also use the D413 rear pad.

The '94-04 Cobra front calipers - likely used in the Baer front kit as discussed above - use the same D412 pad as the '88-'96 C4 Corvette front calipers.

Back to the LS1 stuff,

C5's use a rear cartridge bearing mounted in a spindle, not an axle tube and roller bearing, that was the clue that something wasn't quite right.

Here is a good pic of the LS1 backing plate, albeit with the sensor:

While the LS1 & C5 calipers and rotors are similar, they are not the same.

You can verify it here.
