I have a 2011 Camaro SS that I want to replace the stock rotors with Baer Decelarotor rotors. Anybody done this? Any issues?

I'm thinking about doing the same thing, specifically the rear ones. Maybe all four to match up while I'm at it. Are you getting these?

I also looked into the ebay ones but I don't know if I want to trust them yet. Some of them are budget friendly and look nice, but don't know about performance:

Or other ones I found on ebay.

Have you considered the Brembo slotted rotors from Tirerack? There just a bit more than what your looking at.

Brake Performance makes some nice rotors available in different finishes.

SPCBA · 01-17-2013, 10:23 AM

does that black finish come off when you start braking?

LSX Camaro · 01-17-2013, 10:38 AM

It is a black zinc coating. It comes off only where the pad contacts the rotor. The rest of the rotor maintains the nice black finish. These look a lot better that the stock rotors with rusty edges and hub hats.

VAbdul · 01-17-2013, 10:46 AM

Those look nice, I understand the wear-color change and that's not an issue for me. I just want reliable ones. (Sorry to hijack your thread op)

BTRSS · 01-17-2013, 11:23 AM

I looked at the Bembo and they're also cool. For VAbdul, a place call Ohio speed has the Baer for 269 front and 269 back http://ohio-speed.com/c-1337-baer.aspx

I'll probably end up with the Baer. The speed shop that installed my supercharger, headers, exhaust likes the Baer

Sapper12b · 01-17-2013, 12:05 PM

I'm in tHe same boat as the OP. I'm between the Brembo rotors and the Baer rotors. In experience or installed pictures with either rotor would be appreciated.

Baer is a good choice. I had Eradispeed +1 rotors on my Sierra and they significantly improved its braking distance.

R1 concepts have some nice ones about the same price for the Premium Drilled and Slotted. I have seen a bunch of poeple on C5 comment on them. Have not seen anything negative. They may even have special pricing if you look in the Vendor thread section.

Grayman · 01-28-2013, 11:09 PM

I too and looking for some rotors. I had pretty much settled on the cross drilled Brembo Sport rotors. Can I ask which pads you guys run with these?

+1 on this I personally don't have any R1 rotors but have friends and my brother installed it to their cars and it works wonders and its not that expensive too.

Grayman · 01-29-2013, 09:04 PM

I did some looking today at the R1 Concept, Baer, and Brembo. I settled on the Baer DecelaRotors and Hawk HPS pads. Got them from AutoAnything with free FedEx Ground shipping and I got an extra 15% off for being a first time customer. I ended up getting rotors and pads for $676 delivered.

Next thing on the list is sway bars and chassis bracing.
