The Baer Brakes 4262279B SS4 Rear Big Brake Kit is a complete, bolt-on rear disc brake upgrade finished in a durable black powder coat. Featuring a 12-inch slotted, cross-drilled, zinc-plated rotor paired with Baer's S4 four-piston caliper, this kit delivers serious stopping performance over factory brake hardware. The entire system is proudly designed and manufactured in the USA.
S4 Four-Piston Caliper
The heart of the SS4 system is Baer's S4 caliper, a compact yet powerful two-piece, four-piston unit CNC machined from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum right in Phoenix, AZ. Hard anodized aluminum pistons apply clamping force to both sides of the rotor simultaneously for balanced, consistent braking. Stainless steel abutments and noise suppression clips are included for a quiet, rattle-free installation. The caliper is finished with a black powder coat for lasting corrosion resistance.
12-Inch Slotted & Drilled Rotor
The one-piece rotor is manufactured from mill-balanced cast steel and features a combination slot-and-drill pattern for improved bite, heat dissipation, and gas evacuation under hard braking. A protective zinc plating guards against rust and corrosion. This 12-inch rotor is designed to fit most 16-inch or larger wheels.
D.O.T.-Compliant Dual-Seal Design
The S4 caliper incorporates dual D.O.T.-compliant seals — both dust/weather and pressure seals — to protect internal components and maintain consistent pedal feel across a wide range of conditions.
Integrated Parking Brake
Baer's uniquely designed backing plate serves double duty: it acts as the caliper mount and houses a modern one-piece park brake shoe assembly, eliminating the need for a separate drum-in-hat setup and simplifying the overall installation.
