baer brake kit problem

cristo · March 9th, 2007, 10:39 PM

we have a rear brake kit kit on the rear and the kit came with black spacers. those spacers were on before we swapped our rear end to a gt rear end. mechanic put spacer on with gt rear end, now theres a severe rubbing which we think is the caliper rubbing on the rotor. would taking the spacer out fix this problem? or should we get the spacer machined thinner or the rotor machined to solve this problem. anybody with knowledge of baer brake kits please help!!! thanks

are you sure that is where it is rubbing? a lot of baer brakes require a 17" wheel-

we have 17's.. yes, we had the car up on the hoist and you can see where it is rubbing.

have you tried without the spacer?

we will have the car up on the hoist monday morning to try taking the spacer out. seems to make the most sense.

you might want to check w/ baer or the company you bought your wheels from.. ive seen some 17s that wont work w/ baer's eradispeed brake system.. they usually have a disclaimer about it though..

yup. will check with baer first thing monday morning. i forgot to mention, our kit is the rear touring kit. what would i want to check with the wheel company(american racing)? the offset?

to be honest, im not sure.. all i know is that ive seen wheels at american muscle for instance that have disclaimers the they wont work with that baer system.. i guess just ask about any known compatibility issues
