If you're looking to upgrade your ride's braking system, the SS4+ is worth a serious look. This rear brake system packs a punch with its S4 4-piston caliper, which is mounted to a robust 13-inch two-piece rotor that's not just any rotor—it's slot-drilled and zinc plated for extra durability. I’ve had my hands on these, and let me tell you, they really do perform well under pressure.

One of the things I appreciate about Baer is their attention to detail. This kit comes with stainless steel brake hoses and calipers that are built to withstand the elements, thanks to D.O.T. compliant dust and weather seals. You know you’re getting quality here, especially with the NAS high-grade stainless hardware that holds the pre-assembled rotor together. It’s designed for those of us with 17-inch wheels, but don’t let the smaller size fool you—this system is engineered just like Baer’s larger setups.

Fitment:

• Perfectly suited for stock Ford 9 Inch Torino bearing housing.
• Offers versatility with both 5 x 4.500 inch and 5 x 4.750 inch wheel bolt patterns.

Why go for the SS4+?

• You get all the perks of Baer’s bigger brake systems, but in a compact form that fits your 17-inch wheels.
• This setup is ideal if you want to keep your 17-inch wheels or if you're an enthusiast who might want to switch back to a stock look without sacrificing performance.
• Everything you need is included, from hoses to fittings—just a heads up, park brake cables are sold separately.
• The hat is made from 6061 T-6 billet aluminum, anodized black, and securely bolted to the rotor.
• High-grade U281 fine thread stainless hardware with captured nuts ensures everything stays put.

What’s cool about the S4 Caliper?

• It features four 10mm cross bolts for maximum stiffness, so you know it won’t flex under heavy use.
• Stainless steel abutments and noise suppression springs keep things quiet and smooth.
• Hard anodized aluminum pistons mean less wear and tear over time.
• The internal crossover design is pretty slick and efficient.
• With dual seals for dust/weather and pressure, you’re meeting D.O.T. specs without a hitch.
• Each caliper has a machined logo that’s hand-painted for that personal touch.
• It uses a common 4-piston pad (P/N DR1), making replacements a breeze.
• Red powder coat finish looks sharp, and if you want something unique, custom colors are available.
• You can get these calipers for the front or rear, so you can keep that consistent look across your ride.
• Baer sticks with banjo style fittings—no pipe threads here, which is a nice touch.
• And best of all, it’s 100% made in the USA with sourced materials.

So, if you’re ready to take your braking game to the next level, the 4262263R Baer Brakes Brake System 13 Inch Rear SS4+ with Park Brake in red for the Ford 9 Inch Torino Bearing is definitely worth considering.
