They must carry different stages/levels.
They have a Pro-PLUS kit
They have a 63-68 kits & 69-82 kits.
Front Kit 13" rotor # 4301338 $2,383.34 buy Baer Direct $2,145
Front Kit 14" rotor # 4301339 $2,438.89 buy Baer Direct 2,195
Rear Kit fits years 65-82
13" rotor # 4302220 $2,050 buy Baer Direct $1,845
14" rotor # 4302221 $2,105.56 buy Baer Direct $1,895

Then they have the extreme plus which is more pricey.
When I was doing my brakes Baer wasn't even considering the C3 in their future cataloges. Glad things have changed. I wanted to strangle that sales rep thru the phone when he said "we don't see enough demand for a brake system for that generation of corvettes". This was within the last three years.
Their kits sure do look nice.
