Baer Sport Baer Brakes 12 Inch Rear SS4 Brake System with Park Brake Black for 79-92 Mustang 5 Lug

Alright, let’s dive into what makes this rear brake system a solid choice for your Mustang. This setup features the S4 4-piston calipers, which are paired with a robust 12-inch one-piece rotor that’s been slotted and drilled for better heat dissipation. You’ll appreciate the zinc plating, too—it helps keep rust at bay and maintains that fresh look over time.

One of the standout features here is the billet backing plate. It’s not just a pretty face; it serves as the caliper mount and houses a modern Banksia park brake assembly. This is a much better option compared to the traditional drum-in-hat systems you see on a lot of older cars. Plus, the Banksia setup uses the same shoes as the late model Corvette C5/C6, so you know it’s a solid piece of engineering.

Now, let’s talk fitment. This kit is designed specifically for the 1979-1992 Ford Mustang with an 8.800-inch Ford C-Clip rear. It uses a 5 x 4.500-inch wheel bolt pattern, so make sure your wheels match up. The 12-inch rotors will fit most 15-inch wheels, but it’s always a good idea to double-check with a template just to be safe.

Why Should You Consider the SS4?

  • It comes with a 1-piece 12-inch directionally vaned rotor that’s built for performance.
  • If you’re also looking at our Track4 front brake system, this rear setup makes for a perfect match.
  • The fully machined billet backing plate not only looks good but also holds the Banksia park brake assembly securely.
  • Complete with all the necessary hoses, fittings, park brake cables, and hardware—no need to hunt down extra parts.

What’s Inside the S4 Caliper?

  • Four 10mm cross bolts that give it maximum stiffness, so you know it’s built to last.
  • Stainless steel abutments and noise suppression springs keep things quiet and smooth.
  • Hard anodized aluminum pistons that resist wear and tear.
  • An internal crossover design for better fluid dynamics.
  • Dual seals that meet D.O.T. specifications for dust, weather, and pressure—because safety matters.
  • Each caliper features a machined logo that’s hand-painted for that extra touch.
  • It uses a common 4-piston pad for easy replacements (P/N DR1).
  • Available in a black powder coat finish, with standard colors like red, black, or silver, plus custom colors if you’re looking to stand out.

And let’s not forget, everything is 100% MADE IN THE USA with materials sourced right here. If you’re serious about upgrading your Mustang’s braking performance, this rear brake system is a no-brainer.
