the Baer kits do indeed use the older cobra/Fbody/C5 PBR caliper, as was stated above. You are essentially paying a lot of money for a the adapter bracket.

And brand new everything rather than used junk.

Same exact thing without the Baer name $569 brand new. All Ford OEM parts. Just need bracket adapters.

It's been a few years huh? Best price I have seen on that kit for any car is $9xx.

So what rotor does Baer use? Is it an off the shelf rotor? Or a Baer one?

I think it's basically the '03 Cobra calipers and rotors.

That's the one. I'm sure prices have gone up, but you're still getting a complete package with warranty, instructions, all the brackets and hardware, plus SS lines in one box rather than having to try and source it all separately. Plus the calipers are painted since looks do matter to some.

I'm sure its a quality off-the-shelf rotor (aka not parts store junk) thats slotted, drilled, and zinc-plated (if you want...I got mine just slotted and plated). I know either the 1G or 2G uses a Corvette rotor and the other uses a Mustang Cobra rotor.
