So, you’ve got your eyes set on upgrading your ride’s braking system? Let’s talk about the Baer SS4 rear brake kit. This isn’t just any brake system; it’s designed for those who want performance without compromising on reliability. At the core of this setup, you’ll find the S4 4-piston caliper, which is mounted on a solid 12-inch rotor. This isn’t just a regular rotor, either—it’s a 1-piece, slot-drilled, and zinc-plated beauty that’s built to handle the heat and keep you stopping strong.

One of the standout features here is the unique billet backing plate. Not only does it serve as a sturdy caliper mount, but it also houses the Banksia 1-piece park brake assembly. This is a game changer compared to the traditional drum-in-hat systems. The Banksia design is more modern and reliable, using the same shoe as the late model Corvette C5/C6, which means you’re getting a proven setup that works.

Now, a quick heads-up: this is a General Fit kit, so you’ll need to grab your park brake cables separately. But don’t worry, once you have everything, you’ll be set for some serious stopping power. The system comes complete with stainless steel brake hoses, and the calipers are equipped with D.O.T. compliant dust and weather seals, ensuring they’re ready for whatever you throw at them.

Fitment:

• Perfectly designed for an 8.800-inch Ford rear housing paired with SN95 suspension and a 3.250-inch standoff.
• This kit features a 5 x 4.500 wheel bolt pattern, so make sure your wheels are compatible.

Why should you consider the SS4?

• You get a 1-piece 12-inch directionally vaned rotor that’s not just for show—it’s engineered for performance.
• It pairs perfectly with the Track4 front brake system, giving you that cohesive braking feel.
• The fully machined billet backing plate is not just tough; it’s also smartly designed to hold that Banksia park brake assembly.
• With the Banksia park brake, you’re getting a modern take on an old design, ensuring reliability when you need it most.
• All the hoses, fittings, and hardware are included, so you can hit the ground running.
• Those 12-inch rotors fit most 15-inch wheels, but it’s always good to double-check with a template to be sure.

Let’s dive into the S4 caliper features:

• It boasts four 10mm cross bolts for maximum stiffness—no flex here.
• Stainless steel abutments and noise suppression springs keep things quiet and smooth.
• Hard anodized aluminum pistons are built to last and perform.
• The internal crossover design means you’ll have better fluid flow.
• Dual seals—dust, weather, and pressure—meet D.O.T. specs, so you know they’re up to the task.
• Each caliper features a machined logo that’s hand-painted, giving it a touch of personality.
• It uses a common 4-piston pad for easy replacements (P/N DR1), so maintenance won’t be a headache.
• Available in a sleek silver powder coat finish, with standard colors like red, black, or silver, plus custom options if you want to stand out.
• You can get these for the front or rear, keeping that cosmetic match throughout your ride.
• For rear systems with c-clip style axles, you’ll benefit from Baer’s Verislide self-centering brackets.
• No pipe thread fittings here—just the correct banjo style, ensuring a solid connection.
• And best of all, it’s 100% MADE IN USA with materials sourced right here at home!

When you’re ready to take your braking game to the next level, the Baer SS4 rear brake kit is a solid choice. It’s built by folks who understand what performance means, and it shows in every detail.
