If you’re looking to upgrade your braking system, the Baer Pro+ front brake system is a solid choice, especially if you’re driving a 1974-1976 Ford Torino. This setup features a robust 6-piston caliper paired with a 13-inch two-piece rotor that’s not just drilled and slotted but also zinc plated for that extra layer of protection against rust. I’ve had my hands on this system, and I can tell you, it’s built to last.

One of the first things you'll notice is the stainless steel brake hoses that come with it. They’re a nice touch, ensuring durability and reliability, and the calipers are designed with D.O.T. compliant dust and weather seals. You won’t have to worry about dirt and grime messing things up, which is a big deal if you’re hitting the road or the trails.

Now, let’s talk fitment. This system is designed specifically for the Torino spindles from '74 to '76, so you know it’s going to fit just right. And for those of you who want a consistent look front and rear, Baer has you covered with a matching design that you won’t find from other manufacturers.

What I really appreciate is how easy it is to maintain. The calipers use the same brake pads as the C5 and C6 Corvettes, which means when it’s time to swap them out, you won’t have to break the bank. Everything you need is included in the kit—stainless braided hoses, fittings, and even high-grade stainless hardware to keep everything secure. Plus, the 6061 T-6 billet aluminum hat is anodized black and bolted to the rotor, giving it a sleek look.

Here’s a little more on the details: the two-piece forged caliper design is tough, with six cross bolts for added strength. You’ll also find stainless steel pistons and abutments, along with staggered piston sizes that help minimize pad wear. It’s built to handle both 13 and 14-inch rotors, giving you some flexibility if you decide to upgrade down the line.

And let’s not forget about the aesthetics. The red powder coat finish not only looks great but can also be customized if you want something a bit different. Just make sure your wheels are at least 17 inches to fit this system—there's a template included to help you check compatibility.

In short, if you’re serious about performance and want a brake system that’s made in the USA with high-quality materials, the Baer Pro+ is worth considering. It’s tough, reliable, and designed with enthusiasts in mind. So, whether you're cruising around town or pushing your ride to the limits, this brake system has got your back.
