BIG BAD BAER BRAKES….

BAER

 

The 48 Hour Corvette will be equipped with a complete set of Baer Brakes….

One of the major areas where any 1972 vehicle will need improvement is in the braking department. The 48 Hour Corvette is no exception… in fact it might be the poster child example for the too much go and not enough whoa.

With “tiny” oem disc brakes on all 4 wheels bringing this car to a stop can a challenge under “normal” driving and this car is destine to see a significant share of what most civilians would describe as “abnormal driving”. So clearly something has to be done.

Thanks to Baer Brakes, after the 48 Hour clock ticks off, the Corvette will be riding on some serious state of the art stopping power. When we contacted Baer, we were found out we weren’t quite ready yet to get the stuff on a brown truck heading to Jasper.
