Baer Sport Baer Brakes 13 Inch Front Pro+ Brake System for 74-79 Ford Mercury
$2863.95
Free Shipping

If you're looking to upgrade your ride's stopping power, this front brake system is a solid choice. It features a hefty 6-piston caliper paired with a 13-inch 2-piece rotor that's been both slotted and drilled—trust me, that makes a difference when you're pushing your car to its limits. The zinc plating on the rotor not only looks good but also helps resist rust, which is a nice touch for longevity. Plus, the stainless steel brake hoses included in the kit are a must for durability, and the calipers come with D.O.T. compliant dust and weather seals to keep everything running smoothly, no matter the conditions.

Now, let's talk fitment. This system is designed to work with the 1974-1976 Ford Torino front spindles, but it doesn’t stop there. You can also fit it on a 1974-1976 Ford Ranchero, 1974-1979 Ford Thunderbird, 1974-1979 Mercury Montego, and even the 1974-1976 Lincoln Mark IV and 1977-1979 Lincoln Mark V. Got a 1972-1973 model? No problem—just swap in those 74-76 spindles, and you’re good to go.

Why should you consider the Pro+? For starters, it gives you that sleek, uniform look both front and rear—something that only Baer brings to the table. Everything you need is included in the kit, from hoses to fittings, so you won’t find yourself scrambling for parts mid-install. The 6061 T-6 billet aluminum hat is anodized black and comes pre-assembled, which saves you a bit of hassle. And those high-grade U281 fine thread stainless hardware pieces? They come with captured nuts, making installation a breeze.

One of the highlights is the 6061-T6 billet machined hubs that come with quality bearings already installed. They’re pre-assembled with races, studs, and packed with Redline synthetic grease, so you can hit the road without worrying about a thing. Just keep in mind, you’ll need at least 17-inch wheels—there’s a template included to help you verify fitment before you dive in.

Now, let’s break down the 6P Pro+ caliper features:

  • It’s got a robust 2-piece forged design with six cross bolts for added strength—no flimsy parts here.
  • Stainless steel pistons and abutments mean less wear and tear over time, and the noise suppression springs keep things quiet.
  • The staggered piston sizes help minimize pad wear, which is a game-changer for longevity.
  • With dual seals for dust/weather and pressure, you’re meeting D.O.T. specs without a hitch.
  • These calipers can handle both 13 and 14-inch rotors, giving you flexibility for upgrades down the line.
  • Each one features a machined logo that’s hand-painted, adding a personal touch.
  • Standard colors include Red, Black, and Silver Powder Coat, but you can customize it if you want something unique.
  • Conveniently, it uses the C5 and C6 Corvette front pad (P/N D0731), so replacements are easy to find.
  • Baer sticks with correct banjo style fittings—no pipe threads here, which just complicates things.
  • You can even custom order it in either front or rear configurations with various piston sizes.
  • And best of all, it’s 100% MADE IN USA with materials sourced right here at home!

So, if you’re ready to boost your braking game, this setup is worth considering. It’s reliable, well-engineered, and designed for real-world use—just like your ride.
