Alright, gearheads, let’s talk brakes—specifically, the Baer 11" Classic Front Brake Kit. If you’ve got a classic Ford or Mercury and you're looking to upgrade your stopping power without going overboard, this kit is a solid choice.

First off, you’ve got the "Original" Baer 2-piston caliper here, which is pad guided and mounted to a robust 11.29" rotor. This isn't just any rotor; it’s a one-piece design that’s slotted, drilled, and zinc plated. The red powder coat on the caliper gives it a nice pop under the hood, and the black Baer logo adds a touch of class. Plus, you won’t have to worry about dirt and grime with the included dust seals.

What’s really cool is that this setup uses the common D412 brake pad type, so replacements are easy to find. And don’t sweat the installation—this kit comes with premium bearings, pre-installed races, dust caps, and all the mounting hardware you’ll need. You even get stainless braided hoses for a bit of extra durability and style.

Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. This system is designed for vehicles with a 15/16" master cylinder. If you’re running a manual brake setup, you can drop down to a 7/8" master cylinder, which makes it easier to hit those brakes without feeling like you’re stomping on a brick. Just keep in mind, if your master cylinder is larger than 15/16", you might find yourself working harder than necessary to generate the right line pressure.

As for fitment, this kit plays nicely with a range of classic rides. It fits the 1965-69 Ford Mustang, 62-69 Fairlane, 63-69 Falcon, and even the 69 Ford Torino. If you’re rolling with a 67-69 Mercury Cougar or a 66-69 Comet, you’re in luck too. Just make sure you’ve got OE disc or drum brake spindles, and you’re good to go.
