Baer brakes on the awd shortened my stopping distance from 60-0 in 95ft. Original brake set-up from 60-0 took over 130ft. I find there is more of a fade difference in the pads and rotors than anything to do with the calipers. Stock pads have decent initial bite but poor fade, whereas the racing pads give up some initial bite for increased fade resistance. And then bigger rotors, of course, can dissipate more heat.

Yes, they do look bitchin'! But, pad construction/material/quality being equal, the Baer kit is totally going to stop faster than any pad you're putting in factory calipers. When I mentioned "race pads" earlier, I meant street/racing pads. Full-on racing pads do have higher initial operating temps as you mentioned.
Maybe with 345mm width front tires I could pull endos, Or maybe after I convert to hydroboost!
The only reason to not put this kit on one's TBSS is the cost.
