If you're looking to upgrade your classic ride's stopping power without going overboard, the SS4+ front brake system is a solid choice. This kit features a robust S4 4-piston caliper paired with an 11-inch two-piece rotor that's been drilled and slotted for better heat dissipation. The zinc plating helps keep things rust-free, which is a nice bonus for those of us who drive our cars regularly. Plus, it comes with stainless steel brake hoses and calipers that meet D.O.T. specs, ensuring you’ve got solid protection against dust and weather.

Now, let’s talk fitment. This system is tailored for the 1955-1957 Chevrolet passenger cars that have Heidts 2-inch drop spindles (SP-102). If you've got one of these beauties, you’re in luck. It fits snugly and clears those 15-inch wheels perfectly, so you can enjoy a more aggressive look without sacrificing performance.

So, why should you consider the SS4+? Well, it packs all the benefits of Baer’s larger brake systems into a compact setup. It’s perfect for enthusiasts who want to run larger wheels but still keep the option to revert back to a stock appearance when needed. The kit includes everything you need—hoses, fittings, and more—so you won’t be scrambling for parts mid-install.

  • The 6061 T-6 billet aluminum hat is anodized black and securely bolted to the rotor, giving it a sturdy feel.
  • High-grade U281 stainless hardware is included, complete with captured nuts, and the rotor comes pre-assembled, saving you time and hassle.
  • You’ll also get a set of 6061-T6 billet machined hubs that are pre-assembled with quality bearings and races, all packed with Redline synthetic grease for smooth operation.
  • If you’re still running the stock rear drum setup, no worries—this system plays nicely with that.

Now, let’s dive into the caliper features:

  • It’s got four 10mm cross bolts for maximum stiffness, so you know it’s built to last.
  • Stainless steel abutments and noise suppression springs keep everything quiet and smooth.
  • Hard anodized aluminum pistons ensure durability, and the internal crossover design keeps things neat.
  • With dual seals that meet D.O.T. specifications, you won't have to worry about dust or weather creeping in.
  • Oh, and the logo? Machined and hand-painted—just a little touch that shows Baer cares about the details.
  • When it’s time for replacements, you’ll appreciate that it uses a common 4-piston pad (DR1), making life easier when you’re in need of new ones.
  • Available in standard colors like Red, Black, and Silver, with custom options if you want to go wild.
  • It’s also available for the rear, so you can achieve that matching look all around.
  • No change in track width compared to disc brakes means you won’t have to worry about fitment issues—just a .200-inch increase on each side for stock drum brake cars.
  • And the best part? Everything is 100% MADE IN USA using US-sourced materials.

In short, if you’re rocking a 1955-1957 Chevrolet Bel Air, One-Fifty Series, or Two-Ten Series, the SS4+ is a smart upgrade that enhances both performance and style without compromising on quality.
