Hey Chris,
You just have to make sure you are comparing apples to apples. Wilwood and Baer make a variety of different systems, with different options and rotor sizes.
I know early in this thread someone compared Baer's Track4 caliper to a dynalite. The Track4 is a totally different animal, with a much bigger 4 piston caliper. The SS4+ caliper is on par with the Dynalite size. The Track4 caliper is almost identical size to our 6P 6 piston caliper.
One other thing that many don't notice, and for some this is a big deal.. others not so much. The Track4 will come pre-assembled on modified stock spindles where the Wilwood require you to modify your own spindles.
When researching here are some of the benefits we put into our brake system. Ask around and see if the others do the same:
-Systems are vehicle specific and include all fittings and stainless braided hoses (we use banjo fittings not pipe thread fittings)
-All Baer systems use directionally vaned rotors (specific left and right) to help cool the brake down.
-All Baer systems use stainless steel pistons that are pressure and dust sealed. Baer uses square cut seals to retract pistons for less drag. We never use O-rings as a piston seal.
-All Baer systems use deep stainless pistons. This might make it slightly harder to fit wheels, but if you ever run the pad down to the backing plate you will never (ever) loose a piston and cause brake failure.
-The Track4 uses a factory 98-02 Camaro pad, and has stainless pad abutments and noise springs
-All Baer systems come fully assembled. Hubs are already assembled with timken or SKF bearings and packed with redline synthetic grease.
Plus Baer supports TB.com and has many GREAT TurboBuick vendors that sell these systems!
(had to throw that in!)
There are a lot of good choices out there for brakes, just make sure for the money you have to spend you get what you are looking for and get all the features you want!
PM me with any questions!
Thx!
