$2794.95

If you're looking to upgrade your classic ride, this rear brake system is a game changer. It’s got a solid 6P 6-piston caliper paired with a 13-inch, 2-piece rotor that’s got all the right features—slots, drills, and a zinc plating that keeps things looking sharp and rust-free. What sets this system apart is the unique billet backing plate. Not only does it mount the caliper securely, but it also houses the bankisa 1-piece park shoe. Trust me, this is a way better setup than those old drum-in-hat park brake systems that everyone else seems to use. You get stainless steel brake hoses and calipers with D.O.T. compliant dust and weather seals, which means you’re covered for all kinds of driving conditions. Plus, it’s all held together with high-grade stainless hardware on a pre-assembled rotor. Oh, and don’t forget—park brake cables are included, too. Just keep in mind, you’ll need at least 17-inch wheels to make this work, so double-check your fitment with the provided template.

Fitment:

  • This system is designed specifically for 1955-1957 Chevrolet full-size cars with stock Chevrolet rear ends.

Why go for the Pro+?

  • It offers a matching look for both front and rear, which is a rare find. Baer is the only manufacturer that does this. The rear calipers are specially machined for rear applications and feature staggered piston sizes to reduce pad taper—pretty neat, right?
  • Everything you need is included in the kit, from hoses to fittings.
  • Park brake cables? Yep, they’re in there too.
  • The hat is made from 6061 T-6 billet aluminum, anodized black, and bolted securely to the rotor.
  • We’re talking high-grade U281 fine thread stainless hardware with captured nuts, and the rotor comes pre-assembled, so you can get right to the fun part—driving.

The 6P Pro+ Caliper Features:

  • It’s got a sleek black powder coat finish, and standard colors include black, red, and silver—custom colors are available if you want to get fancy.
  • The 2-piece forged caliper design is built tough, with six cross bolts for added strength.
  • Inside, you’ll find stainless steel pistons, abutments, and noise suppression springs—all designed to keep things quiet and efficient.
  • The staggered piston sizes help minimize pad wear, which is a big plus for performance.
  • With dual seals for dust and weather, plus pressure seals, you know it meets all D.O.T. specs.
  • This caliper can handle both 13-inch and 14-inch rotors, giving you some flexibility.
  • It features a machined logo that’s hand-painted for that extra touch.
  • Compatible with C5 and C5 backing plates from 1997-2012 Corvettes, so you can easily swap out brake pads when needed.
  • You can get these in both front and rear configurations, so everything matches up nicely.
  • Rear calipers are specifically designed for rear use with smaller pistons to keep the balance right with the front brakes.
  • The rear systems also include a drum-in-hat park brake, and for C-clip style axles, you’ll get Baer’s Verislide self-centering brackets.
  • They use the right banjo style fittings, which is a step up from the pipe thread that others often use.
  • And yes, you can custom order them with various piston sizes to suit your needs.
  • Best of all, everything is 100% MADE IN USA with US-sourced materials!

Products Fitment:

  • Chevrolet Bel Air 1955-1957
  • Chevrolet One-Fifty Series 1955-1957
  • Chevrolet Two-Ten Series 1955-1957
