Finally!,... someone who takes the time to properly explain in great detail on how to perform a task by setting the bar high and meeting or exceeding his own expectations of himself in order to gain integrity with his viewers. Well done Speedy and continue to push others to reach for high standards in what they post. Also, that Mustang had no idea what it was up against but I'm sure the driver will remember your car and not test you in the future to avoid further embarrassment.

@TM-TMNT1 Месяц назад

Yeah this guy did it right, definitely looking to get these for my 07 SRT8.

@JohnDoe-gj4dv 3 года назад

Sir, This Video is an incredible oration and narrative of how this conversion should be accomplished. Thank you for NOT saying words such as ""like" , "ummmm", "ahhhh" and "ohhhhh" . Really impressive and your professionalism is beyond reproach. Thank you for your VIDEO and your time. Grace and Blessings to you and your family Sir.

With straight vaned rotors do you determine the left and right as if you were sitting in the drivers seat or if you were standing outside the vehicle and facing it from the front? My new straight vaned drilled and slotted rotors are labeled left and right but I need an answer to my previous question for proper installation placement. Thanks

Great information and video, thanks for posting! If you get a chance, could you do a follow up video on the braking performance after running it for a couple of months? In our Texas heat and crazy stop/start traffic, I am interest in how the rotors are going to hold up. Anyways, thanks again for filming and posting, keep the videos coming!

@SpeedysGarage 9 лет назад

TheTexasCoder Sure thing. All the testing on the Baer system was done in nearly 100° heat and 50-60% humidity. Even the pad bedding procedure which was 8 panic stops in a row and the brakes barely broke a sweat.

Good detail on install, did you have to do any shimming on the Calipers once they were mounted? I have a '65 Impala with a H.O. 454 running on 20 inch wheels, after watching your break-in process I feel confident in buying the 14" front and 13" rear kit. Thanks for awesome video install 😎👍👍

@SpeedysGarage 7 лет назад

Thanks! No shimming was required. The caliper mounts were billet pieces machined to an exact fit. A VERY nice brake setup for sure.

Yep, shop is a separate structure. I've had a lot of emails and questions about it so I plan to do a video series on the planning/design and execution that should help folks considering similar projects. Little things I learned a long the way have made a huge difference in day to day use.

@maldo72 5 лет назад

I know this is a old video but how do these compare against your new hellcat brakes ?

@SpeedysGarage 5 лет назад

Close to the same if I'm honest. You saw how short they'd stop Orange Krush if I stayed off the ABS. There's another video on the channel where I change out the Hellcat brake pads to something less dusty, I do some 60-0 stops in that to compare.

@michaelschlimmer4683 8 лет назад

I'm looking at upgrading my stock rotors on my RT. I'm not building a race car, just looking to keep it performing stock, minus the subpar brake rotors. What would you recommend for a rotor that fits with the stock caliper brackets, etc.?

@SpeedysGarage 8 лет назад

+Michael Schlimmer See if you can find a set of slotted rotors of stock spec and you'll have what you're looking for. I also recently put a set of EBC Red Stuff brakes on a car and so far so good with those as well.

@barkyvonschnauzer2188 Год назад

Those are nice

@ilcoolj12 7 лет назад

Have the same kit on my 11 Charger RT. They are great, low dust. Only problem I'm having was that after 2 years the Front rotors got some real bad hard spots, where the whole front end was shaking. I decided to change them followed the instructions just like the first time bedding the brakes hardening the rotors. A year later I have hard spots again only half as bad as the first time though. It's annoying, especially its my daily driver. Any similar problems on your end?

@ron177188 6 лет назад

i have heard breakins do more harm them good your better off this driving it around town for while to break them in then do there process i learned the hard way just with regular systems and performance rotors and pads

@anoint426hemi6 5 лет назад

Drilled rotors tear up pad lining and if it overheated it causes patches on the rotors which give a car or truck the shakes when the brakes are applies. Grooved rotors with stock type pads are best on the street. Competition pads are better suited for the track.

@donlee178 3 года назад

Super informative. I know this is an old video, but would you say there is a significant weight difference between the stock rotors/brakes and these Baers?

I think I showed the weight difference in the video. I don't remember off the top of my head.

5 lbs according to the video

@jimbojimson 5 лет назад

The calipers are intended to look the same on the rear as the front, but they do use smaller pistons.

@James-Orr 9 лет назад

I ordered a set of rear brakes. I have to wait to afford the fronts. How are these holding up?

@SpeedysGarage 9 лет назад

+James Orr Doing great. Huge upgrade and while expensive, definitely worth it on a powerful car.

@eldiablort1461 6 лет назад

Good vid. Only thing I’ll say is that for maximum performance, drilled rotors don’t work well for these heavy vehicles under repeated heavy braking, and while they look cool, don’t serve a real purpose besides looks. What you really want is slotted or an OEM style rotor for maximum grip surface area, and preferably slotted for high performance driving or track days. Engineering Explained has two very good videos on this, plus talking to any high performance drivers will also yield this same advice. You won’t find these types of rotors on any real track car.

@SpeedysGarage 6 лет назад

Don't disagree, however if you're using a car like this on a road course I'd say you might have chosen the wrong weapon for the job :) At the drag strip these made a HUGE difference at the end of the 1/4 and were a fantastic upgrade. Looked good at car shows to boot as you pointed out.

@ramshacks9493 4 года назад

Let me start off by saying you have an amazing challenger.I'm 16 and got a 6 speed 2013 challenger rt for a 16th birthday present and I'm a bit of a gear head and am wonder what upgrade should be made first.I already have a skip shift eliminator on it and and looking for good performance upgrades on a part time budget. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

@SpeedysGarage 9 лет назад

+airsoft21887 Congrats on getting a very nice ride as a 16th birthday present. Honestly, if I were you I'd put a nice mellow cat back system on the car for a good note and just drive it. Save your money for now as these cars have a lot of performance right off the show room floor. Most bolt ons won't do a whole lot and superchargers are likely outside of a part time budget.

@airsoft21887 9 лет назад

Thank you for your advice

@geoh5408 4 года назад

He has the rotors on backwards he has the left side on the right and the right side on the left they are directional.

@SpeedysGarage 4 года назад

They're not backward, they came labeled from Baer. Pretty hard to mess that up ;)

@lukeiamyourfather3511 3 года назад

agreed. There are right and left sides.Speedy put them on backwards.I noticed they are marked with a sharpie . Someone marked them wrong.Other than that great job Speedy.

@DJGRoc 5 лет назад

Great intro Speedy! I know you don't have this car anymore, but was just curious as to why you went with Baer instead of say Brembo brakes?

@SpeedysGarage 5 лет назад

Easier fit and better stopping power.

@DJGRoc 5 лет назад

@@SpeedysGarage The fit I get, as I know the Brembo's require replacement of the front spindles on the R/T with those from an SRT. Now that you have the Hellcat, which has the Brembo's, which do you like better?

@SpeedysGarage 5 лет назад

The Hellcat Brembos are pretty good, but the Baers stopped Orange Krush about 20 feet shorter.

@BMan100 7 лет назад

How would you compare these brakes over the Brembo's used in the SRT models? just curious.

@SpeedysGarage 7 лет назад

I've driven both and the Baers are a bit better than the SRT brakes. Hard to quantify based on my opinion of how they "feel" but the Baers really grab and seem to not get heat fatigue.

What whould be the point of switching factory calipers brakes and rotors to slotted. Dont they do the same job..? I mean I get the slotted rotors can stay cooler but is thir any proof this is a huge performance upgrade. I mean brembo front brakes set up is like 4 grand. So is this even worth it.

@SpeedysGarage 4 года назад

Pricey, but the brakes were the next biggest change to the car besides the supercharged engine.

@williamcattr267 4 года назад

@@SpeedysGarage Oh, I can agree, but when you consider paying approximately $600+ per month (not counting insurance) for these Charger/Challenger R/T, SRT's, and Hellcats (I won't even go into the whole Demon thing), there is little money left over to pay for stuff like that, unless of course you are a Doctor, Lawyer, or some big bread earner (or work two jobs for 80 hours per week). For us lesser mortals getting by on less than $50,000 a year or less, $2500 for brakes had better cover all 4 wheels and carry a lifetime warranty and lifetime pad replacement!
