Default Pics of my new Baer brake upgrade

I was to be engaged, but she left a few months ago. I took the money and bought these. I went with: Baer Brakes Baer Claw Track-Plus Disc for the front & Baer Brakes EradiSpeed-Plus Two for the rear. 13" rotors all around. I went with brand new OEM rear calipers too. Also, I had them powdercoated by the http://www.thepowdercoater.com who is a forum vendor. Click on the link below for pics.

Everthing cost me around $2800 (labor included). Just for the rear rotors, $575. The front kit was around $1200.

That ring is a mega nut to drop, good reinvestment!

Brakes look nice!

Where did you get those wheels?

Great job ! Really like the clean rear caliper with the black bracket looks sharp ! How did you manage 13" rotors on the rear?
