If you're looking to upgrade your ride's braking system without going overboard, the Baer SS4+ might just be what you need. This rear brake setup comes with a 4-piston S4 caliper that’s mounted to a 13-inch two-piece rotor, which is both slotted and drilled for better heat dissipation. The rotors are zinc-plated, so they’ll hold up against the elements and keep looking good for longer. Plus, you get stainless steel brake hoses and calipers that meet D.O.T. standards for dust and weather protection—so you know they’re built to last.

Now, let’s talk fitment. This kit is designed for stock Ford 9-inch small bearing and 8-inch standard bearing rear housings. It also features both 5 x 4.500 inch and 5 x 4.750 inch wheel bolt patterns, making it pretty versatile. Just keep in mind that park brake cables aren’t included, so you might need to grab those separately.

Why go for the SS4+?

• It packs all the performance of Baer’s larger systems but is compact enough to fit under 17-inch wheels. Perfect if you want to keep that stock look or if you're eyeing a larger wheel setup.
• Everything you need comes in the kit—hoses, fittings, and all. Just remember, you’ll need to sort out the park brake cables on your own.
• The hat is made from 6061 T-6 billet aluminum, anodized black, and securely bolted to the rotor for added durability.
• High-quality U281 fine thread stainless hardware is included, complete with captured nuts to make installation easier.

Let’s dig into the S4 caliper features:

• It’s got four 10mm cross bolts to ensure maximum stiffness—no flexing here.
• Stainless steel abutments and noise suppression springs keep things quiet and smooth.
• Hard anodized aluminum pistons? You bet. They’re built for performance.
• Internal crossover design means better fluid distribution.
• Dual seals—both dust/weather and pressure—keep everything sealed tight and meet D.O.T. specs.
• Each caliper features a machined logo that’s hand-painted, adding a touch of craftsmanship.
• Common 4-piston pads (P/N DR1) make replacements a breeze.
• It comes in a sleek black powder coat finish, but if you want something custom, they’ve got options.
• And if you’re looking for that matched aesthetic, you can get front or rear setups.
• Baer uses the correct banjo-style fittings—no pipe threads here, just solid engineering.
• Best of all, it’s 100% made right here in the USA with materials sourced locally.

So, if you’re ready to take your braking game to the next level without losing that classic vibe, the Baer SS4+ is a solid choice. It’s built tough, looks great, and fits like a glove.
