Baer Eradispeed Rotors

EradiSpeed (e rad’ i speed) high performance, direct replacement rotors are cast with an integral 1-piece hat or hub/hat section just like the original OEM rotor. EradiSpeed rotors are available in vented or solid designs to match the requirements of the vehicle. Each vented rotor is a unique casting which employs either a directional curved vane or the patented Kangaroo port design. All benefit from additional mass in the "firepath" as well as a proprietary, high-friction iron formulation. Each EradiSpeed rotor is also cross-drilled and slotted. Functional benefits of cross-drilling and slotting include:

Virtual elimination of "green-pad-fade" or "outgassing" which is caused when gasses emitted from the bonding agents within the brake pad material reach elevated temperatures
More aggressive initial onset or "bite"
Elimination of pad glazing
Improved contact surface because of equalized pad surface wear
Better wet weather performance

EradiSpeed rotors are then zinc-plated or "washed." And while this rust-resistant finish wears off of the "firepath" during the first 300-400 miles of normal street driving, it remains to protect the rotor surfaces not swept by the pad. EradiSpeed Direct Replacement 1-piece Rotor Benefits:

No change in wheels is ever required
Increased heat absorption
Faster thermal recovery
High resistance to stress cracking
Increased friction, low wear from proprietary iron specification
Greater airflow efficiency through curved vane or Kangaroo port design
Location of holes directly behind vane structure to arrest and limit migration of stress fractures from crossdrilling
Elimination of outgassing
Greater bite or initial onset of friction
Equalized pad surface wear
Improved wet weather performance
Brilliant rust-resistant surfaces
Dynamic visual impact
Limited Lifetime Warranty Against Warping

Baer Eradispeed+ Rotors

EradiSpeed+ (e rad’ i speed plus) versions are still direct OEM replacement units, but the "plus" indicates rotors that are of a 2-piece, fixed design, which results in a reduction in total hub/rotor weight. The center "hat" or "hub/hat" portion of EradiSpeed+ rotors are CNC machined from billet or forged aluminum. The centers are then anodized black to finish the racing "look" and are bolted to the rotors with National Aerospace Standard (NAS) stainless, reusable fasteners, the same hardware used to affix the rotors to an Indy Car. Each vented rotor is a unique casting which employs either a directional curved vane or the patented Kangaroo port design. All benefit from additional mass in the "firepath," as well as a proprietary, high-friction iron formulation. Each EradiSpeed rotor is also cross-drilled and slotted. Functional benefits of cross-drilling and slotting include:

Virtual elimination of "green-pad-fade" or "outgassing" which is caused when gasses emitted from the bonding agents within the brake pad material reach elevated temperatures
More aggressive initial onset or "bite"
Elimination of pad glazing
Improved contact surface because of equalized pad surface wear
Better wet weather performance
No change in wheels is ever required
Dramatically reduced weight
Increased heat absorption
Faster thermal recovery
High resistance to stress cracking
Increased friction, low wear, from proprietary iron specification
Greater airflow efficiency through curved vane or Kangaroo port design
Location of holes directly behind vane structure to arrest and limit migration of stress fractures from crossdrilling
Elimination of outgassing
Greater bite or initial onset of friction
Equalized pad surface wear

BAER Eradispeed+1 Rotors

EradiSpeed+1 (e rad’ i speed plus one) brake kits represent a new concept of performance brake upgrades. They use increased diameter rotors that have been designed to specifically complement wheel and tire packages using 18-inch and larger rim diameters. Just as wheel and tire "Plus-Sizing" has come to mean, "the use of a wheel which is larger in diameter than the original," EradiSpeed+1 describes a set of rotors that are larger in diameter than the original. However the key to EradiSpeed+1 brake rotor kits is that they continue to use the stock factory calipers by relocating them outward. This results in increased performance (brake torque) by virtue of the increased leverage of the larger diameter rotor. In the case of General Motors sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks, by employing direct bolt-on replacement caliper brackets, the EradiSpeed+1 brake kit relocates the caliper outward to allow the use of massive, 14-inch diameter rotors in place of original 12.5-inch rotors. This increase in diameter increases leverage, braking power and efficiency by 17% (in the way a fulcrum and longer lever reduces the effort of lifting an object). Thus, EradiSpeed+1 packages offer enhanced brake appearance and braking performance, which is otherwise lost when catching a glimpse of relatively small original brake rotors while looking through the openings of large diameter wheels, and due to the greater mass of large (especially 20-inch and up) wheel and tire combinations, most of which weigh 30 to 50 pounds more per corner. Since Baer EradiSpeed+1 upgrades employ the original factory calipers and pads, there is little increase in noise, harshness, or dust, which is sometimes experienced with higher performance brake pads or more elaborate brake system upgrades. The system is fully compatible with the vehicles original equipment ABS system. Further, EradiSpeed+1 systems install in less than 2.5 hours and do so without even bleeding the brakes! A full EradiSpeed+1 upgrade front and rear installation is virtually the same as removing and replacing the rotors. The same tools and the same operations; just substitute the EradiSpeed+1 rotors, anchor brackets and supplied OE hardware on reassembly. The factory manual calls for a front and rear time of only 2.4 hours total, with installation charges typically averaging less than $200 (your area may vary). For EradiSpeed+1 applications, Baer provides all the hardware required to move the location of the stock factory caliper outward. In some cases an intermediate bracket is employed; in others new factory style caliper anchor plates are provided. In all cases, except as noted, EradiSpeed+1 upgrades install without bleeding the brakes and some also fit the OE wheels if they are 18-inches or larger in diameter (such as the EradiSpeed+1 brake kit for the rear of the Chevrolet C5 Corvette). All EradiSpeed+1 rotors are larger in outer diameter than the OE rotor they replace and many are of a 2-piece design. However, in some cases, such as the rear of the 1999 and later GM 1/2 -ton pickups, or 2000 and later 1/2-ton SUV applications, the rear rotor is cast as a 1-piece design to allow the park brake mechanism, which is a small drum located inside the rotor hat unit, to function properly. Each EradiSpeed+1 rotor is also cross-drilled and slotted. Functional benefits of cross-drilling and slotting include:

Virtual elimination of "green-pad-fade" or "outgassing" which is caused when gasses emitted from the bonding agents within the brake pad material reach elevated temperatures
More aggressive initial onset or "bite"
Elimination of pad glazing
Improved contact surface because of equalized pad surface wear
Better wet weather performance

EradiSpeed+1 rotors are then zinc-plated or "washed." And while this rust-resistant finish wears off of the "firepath" during the first 300-400 miles of normal street driving, it remains to protect the rotor surfaces not swept by the pad. The result, EradiSpeed+1 upgrades produce a brilliant visual impact that alone makes them a desirable enhancement. Combine these powerful esthetic improvements with dynamic braking improvements and you have...performance you can see! EradiSpeed+1 Increased Diameter/Torque Rotor & Bracket Systems:

Increased leverage produces increased brake torque
Increased heat absorption
Faster thermal recovery
High resistance to stress cracking
Increased friction, low wear, from proprietary iron specification
Greater airflow efficiency through curved vane or Kangaroo port design
Location of holes directly behind vane structure to arrest and limit migration of stress fractures from cross-drilling
Elimination of outgassing
Greater bite or initial onset of friction
Equalized pad surface wear
Improved wet weather performance
Brilliant rust resistant surfaces
Dynamic visual impact
Dramatically reduced weight (applies to two-piece units)
Limited Lifetime Warranty Against Warping

NOTE: EradiSpeed +1 rotors require 18-inch or larger diameter original equipment or aftermarket wheels.
