If you're looking to upgrade your braking system without sacrificing that classic vibe, the SS4+ rear brake system is worth a serious look. This setup comes with Baer's S4 4-piston caliper, which is mounted to a robust 13-inch, two-piece rotor that's been slot and drilled for better heat dissipation. I’ve been around the block with a few brake systems, and let me tell you, the craftsmanship here is solid. The zinc plating on the rotor not only looks good but also helps resist corrosion, which is a big plus for those of us who like to take our rides out in varied weather conditions.

One of the standout features of this system is the stainless steel brake hoses that come included. They’re not just there for show; they’re designed to withstand the rigors of daily driving and keep your brakes performing at their best. Plus, the calipers are fitted with D.O.T. compliant dust and weather seals, so you know they’ll hold up against the elements. And speaking of durability, Baer didn’t cut corners here—quality bearings and NAS high-grade stainless hardware are used in the pre-assembled two-piece rotor, ensuring everything stays tight and true.

The SS4+ is designed specifically for those of us rocking 17-inch wheels. It’s got all the performance benefits of Baer’s larger systems but in a more compact package. This means you can keep that stock look if you want, or easily transition to a larger wheel setup without a hitch. And yes, they throw in the park brake cables too, so you’re not scrambling for parts when it’s time to install.

Fitment:

• Perfectly designed for 1960-1969 Lincoln Continental rear housing.
