Where did you source the Baer rotors? How much?

Streettuned Motorsports got them for me. They're a fantastic shop. I originally ordered front and rear, but the rears are out of stock with no plans to make more. Without exaggeration, the difference due to the rotors is almost starting.

are you for real 6 lbs per corner? Thats a huge difference. Pair those up with some lightweight wheels and you a ton less rotational mass. Are they 2 peice?

No doubt! The steering and its feedback, for example, is impoved to the point where I sometins think that I'm driving a different car. The difference is not subtle at all. The Evo now handles much closer to a light weight sports car than I even thought was possible.

I'll most likely need new tires next year and I'm looking at a wheel/tire combo that will save me ~5lbs per corner. I can't wait!

Thanks! We got them at Sears for $120 each. We bought one at first, but the kids fought for it so much that we almost had to buy another.

The Baer's are really great brakes, you definately lose a lot of rotational weight in each corner....

Pretty awesome...I suppose I will have to wait until mine gets big enough to sit in a seat like that to buy one. Definitly cool that the car is all Recaro!
