Clint,     I don’t doubt BAER brakes are wonderful, and probably better than Wilwood, but the fact remains, the problem I had talking to a rep! I can understand one time, but three? I’ll go for service every time. BAER must be having some growing pains. If their business as you say they surely need to upgrade their tech staff. Apparently they have too few!   I’ll check out the sites about suspension solutions.   Thanks Clint!   From: Clint Hooper [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2005 12:23 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Global West.   I was buying stuff from Hal Baer before they became famous. The only brake kits I've used that worked better were Alcon and Brembo,,at twice or triple the cost. If I had it to do over again,I would have used Wilwood's six piston set-up on the front of my car and the same Baer rear kit I'm using now. As I said in earlier posts,I like GW stuff. But,there are better systems available,IMO. Spend some time over at Lateral-G.net or Protouring.com and you will find some very sharp people over there that really know the ins & out of suspension design.

It surely helps bring BAER to the front!   Going back to the suspension issue…I looked at Fatman, Heidt’s and a few others, and the quality of their parts didn’t impress me! Global West has been around for some time, and Yes, I got a free, very helpful catalog right away, while nothing from BAER.
