Default New rotors.

I just ordered the Baer Eradispeed rotors for the front and the back of my Z. Plus I got the stainless lines and ceramic pads. I was just trying to find out if anyone here has em and what they think about them. Thanks!!

I have Eradispeeds and GM ceramics. Very happy with the combo. A little less stopping power with the ceramics, but almost no brake dust.

I have the same set up along with my 19s and 20s.

However, they all come off for the track day. Baer's will crack, the ceramics wont stop me, and the show wheels are for show.

But, they look good!

I have the Baer Enhanced slotted/drilled rotors (not the EradiSpeeds), GM ceramic pads, Goodridge SS brakelines and SuperBlue DOT racing fluid. I love look and feel. Some say I give up some breaking using Ceramic pads. Since I don't track my car that's a moot point to me.

And when I'm out with my buddies attacking the twisties I have no difficulty braking as hard as I need to, in fact many times I engage the ABS. I figure if I can engage ABS the tires must be losing grip before the pads are failing me.

I have ZERO noise and almost no brake dust.

Take a look at me set up:
