Baer Sport Baer Brakes 12 Inch Rear SS4 Brake System with Park Brake for 55-57 Chevy Full Size
$1649.95
Free Shipping

If you're looking to upgrade your classic ride's braking system, let me tell you about this rear brake setup. It features the S4 4-piston caliper, which is mounted to a solid 12-inch rotor that's been slotted and drilled. This isn't just any rotor; it's zinc plated for that extra layer of protection against corrosion. One of the cool things about this system is the billet backing plate. It’s not just a pretty face; it serves a dual purpose as a caliper mount and houses the Banksia 1-piece park shoe. Trust me, this park brake assembly is a step up from the old-school drum-in-hat systems that you often see. Plus, it comes with park brake cables, so you're all set on that front.

Fitment:

  • Made specifically for 1955-1957 Chevrolet Fullsize Cars with the stock rear end.

Why go for the SS4?

  • You get a 12-inch directionally vaned rotor that really helps with heat dissipation.
  • This setup pairs perfectly with our Track4 front brake system—talk about a match made in heaven!
  • The fully machined billet backing plate is just as functional as it is stylish.
  • That Banksia park brake? It's a modern twist on the classic drum design and uses the same shoe as the late model Corvette C5/C6, making replacements a breeze.
  • Everything you need is included—hoses, fittings, and all the hardware.
  • These 12-inch rotors fit some 15-inch wheels and most 16-inch wheels, but double-check with a template to be sure.

What’s special about the S4 Caliper?

  • It's got four 10mm cross bolts for maximum stiffness, so you know it’s built to last.
  • Stainless steel abutments and noise suppression springs keep things quiet.
  • Hard anodized aluminum pistons mean durability without the weight.
  • Its internal crossover design is pretty nifty, too.
  • Dual seals keep dust and moisture out, meeting D.O.T. specs.
  • Each caliper has a machined logo that’s hand-painted—talk about attention to detail!
  • Uses a common 4-piston pad for easy replacements (P/N DR1).
  • Black powder coat finish comes standard in red, black, or silver, with custom colors available if you want to stand out.
  • Available for both front and rear, so you can keep that aesthetic consistent.
  • Rear systems incorporate the drum-in-hat park brake, and for C-clip style axles, you get Baer’s Verislide self-centering brackets.
  • Uses the correct banjo style fittings—none of that pipe thread nonsense here.
  • And hey, it’s 100% MADE IN USA with materials sourced right here at home!

Products Fitment:

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