If you're looking to upgrade your classic Chevy with a brake system that’s not just about looks but also performance, let me tell you about the 11" SS4+ Front Brake Kit from Baer. This isn’t just any brake kit; it’s a solid piece of engineering that fits perfectly on your 1955-57 Chevy Full Size Passenger Cars, especially if you’ve got those Ridetech or Heidts 2" drop spindles installed.

At the heart of this system is the 4-piston S4 caliper, which is made right in Phoenix, AZ. The caliper is designed to handle the heat and pressure of spirited drives, and it’s equipped with D.O.T compliant dust and weather seals—so you don’t have to worry about dirt and moisture messing things up. You can run popular pads like the DR1 or HB100, making replacements a breeze.

Now, let’s talk rotors. The 11-inch, 2-piece rotors are not just for show; they’re slotted and drilled, zinc plated for durability, and come pre-assembled with high-grade stainless hardware. This means better heat dissipation and a longer lifespan, which is something every car enthusiast can appreciate. The rotor thickness is a solid 1.020 inches, striking a balance between performance and reliability.

Another cool feature is the billet aluminum hubs that come with premium bearings packed with Redline synthetic grease. They’re assembled and ready to go, so you won’t be left scrambling for parts. Plus, the included stainless braided hoses and all necessary mounting brackets make installation straightforward, even if you’re not a pro mechanic.

In terms of fitment, this kit is designed for 15-inch wheels, making it a great choice for those looking to maintain a classic aesthetic while enhancing performance. The 5x4.75 lug pattern and 1/2-20" x 2.25" wheel stud size ensure compatibility with a wide range of wheels.

So, if you’re serious about your ride and want to step up your braking game, the Baer 11" SS4+ Front Brake Kit is definitely worth considering. It’s built for performance, looks great in that fire red finish, and is ready to handle whatever you throw at it on the road.
