Here's a picture of my Baer discs!
I attached a picture showing my new brake setup. I can't wait to install them. The front caliper is off of a C5 and the rear is a C4. The rotors are both 13.25". I also just made a down payment on my new intro 20" wheels. Then I'll be able to install my brakes. Yeah!

They had a wheel just like that one on display @ the Goodguys show recently but the spokes were powder coated charcol grey. Nice looking wheel either way.

Love those wheels! That's the Pentia, right?
I didn't know Baer made brakes to fit our trucks. Have a part number so I can order me some? |

Thanks guys. I'm glad you like the wheels. It is the Pentia. I couldn't think of a better wheel to put on my truck. I chose the wheel so that it was a little bit of a resemblence to the classic torque thrust. I also want to show off my brakes.
I guess I'm going to have to take pics of the install. Here's a link for the brakes. http://www.truckinweb.com/buyersguide/brakes/6lug_c10/ The rear is a universal pro-touring 12-bolt setup.

Couldn't have picked a better wheel myself. It'll look real nice with those disc brakes shining through.

Love those wheels! They are possible candidates for mine as well. I noticed our calipers are different or at least appear to be in the pics.

they must have gone to a different design. PBR makes the calipers that I have. those definitely look different.

I can probably beat those prices for the brakes. Contact me if you're interested I got a set of SICK brakes for one of my customer's 90 IROC-Z convertible. Front and rear for about $2500 shipped
Or, call me if you need.. 909-314-5966 My business is AutoGoodies.com

Doesn't Baer also make like a 14.85" brake system for your trucks. I rmember looking at something like that on there website, says minimum 18's for wheels, might even have been 20's.

i will be looking forward to your progress with the install of these brakes. they should make a great difference in brakeing! do they work with the e/brake as well? would these work with 15 inch rims? i guess the cost is very high on these? keep us updated........
