Chad and I are so very proud to announce that Baer Brakes has joined the BangShift family of sponsors. For more than 40 years Baer has been in the business of making everything from street machines to haul ass drag cars, pro touring corner burners, and even light duty trucks stop better. The company has been deeply involved in racing from the get go and that is the experience they continue to apply each and every day while developing hard core, high tech, and super high quality stopping systems for an impressive array of applications.
Both Chad and I spend a lot of time at drag strips and racing events all over the country each year. In the course of being at those events we get a pretty good idea of the trends, popular brands, and effective equipment that racers are using. With confidence we can say that Baer Brakes are found on some of the gnarliest competition cars we have laid eyes on. At the drags, the trend for heads up racing is small tires and (speaking relatively) heavy cars. That’s bad math for braking performance as even the best brake system is only as good as the tires it is attached to. Recognizing this trend, Baer developed the Street Strip 4-Plus system which is specifically engineered for cars that are way too fast and way too heavy. They offer this kit in a single or dual caliper design that is able to fit inside a 15″ wheel by using an 11″ rotor and their own engineered caliper. Knowing how conscious racers are about weight, Baer engineered those calipers to weigh in at 4.10lbs for the front and 3.78lbs a piece for the rears. That’s impressive as hell. If you are someone looking to shed weight and pick up ET, this is one great way to do that while making your car more safe at the same time!
Baer certainly is about more than just drag racing. You’ll see their braking systems on pro touring and road race cars as well. It goes back to their 40+ years of dedicated innovation and industry leadership. Hal and the rest of the team at Baer go to work every day with a passion to make their product and your car work better. The results of this attitude continue to shine through year after year with new products that continue to raise the bar in the industry.
