Baer EradiSpeed two piece for front and back.
There are the plus,2-piece and the plus ll,2-piece Rotors.
What is the (difference) and which type is the (BEST).
There are 13-3/8" and 12-3/4" fronts at Ecklers and 14" rears.
There are 13" fronts and 14" rears at mid america.
Help!

Baer brake rotors
I would advise going this route. The slotted and drilled rotors do not increase performance or decrease the stopping distances. If you're doing it for looks then realize that you will be paying a lot of money the next time they need replacing. There are other methods to get better braking such as upgrading the fluid and keeping it fresh.

The Eradaspeed +2 (2 piece rotors with aluminum hats – oversized backs) are the best. That’s what I have and I love them. I have yet to find a rotor that looks and lasts as long as them. I cannot say they increased my performance but they didn’t hurt. When you get them you can tell they are quality and they are made to last. I also purchased them for the looks. The back 14 inch looks killer. It fills up the rear wheels - which is how they should have been from factory.
I had a problem when I first received them. They sent 13 inch fronts and my factory rotors are 12.75 or 12.80. So when I put caliper on it would hit the top of the bracket and the rotor would be locked in place (would not rotate). I called my supplier and the sent the correct rotors in two days. Since then I think I seen a bracket relocation kit now for the front if you want to run the 13 inch (or larger?) but I don’t think they will work with the stock size rims.
Buy the Eradaspeed +2 - you won’t regret it! Just make sure they send you the 12.75 fronts and 14 inch backs and you will be fine. Measure them before to start the brake job so you’re not reinstalling the old ones and waiting on parts.
