If you're looking to step up your braking game, this rear brake system from Baer is a solid choice. It's got the S4 4-piston caliper paired with a 12-inch, one-piece rotor that’s both slotted and drilled, plus it’s zinc plated for that extra layer of protection against the elements. One of the coolest features here is the billet backing plate. Not only does it serve as a sturdy caliper mount, but it also houses the Banksia one-piece park brake assembly. This setup is way more efficient than the old-school drum-in-hat systems you might be used to. Just a heads up, this is a general fit rear system, so you’ll need to grab your park brake cables separately.

Fitment:

• Works with 1965-1969 Lincoln models that have the stock big bearing rear housing
• Features a 5 x 5.000 inch wheel bolt pattern

Why go for the SS4?

• Comes with a 1-piece, 12-inch rotor that’s directionally vaned for better cooling.
• It pairs perfectly with Baer’s Track4 front brake system—if you’re looking for a matched setup, this is it.
• The fully machined billet backing plate is not just tough; it also holds the Banksia park brake assembly securely.
• The Banksia park brake is a modern twist on the standard drum setup, using the same shoe as late model Corvette C5/C6. So, you know it’s reliable.
• Everything you need is included—hoses, fittings, and hardware. No surprises here.
• Those 12-inch rotors can fit some 15-inch and most 16-inch wheels, but make sure to check with a template before you dive in.

Check out what the S4 caliper brings to the table:

• It’s got 4 cross bolts for maximum stiffness—no flexing here.
• Stainless steel abutments and noise suppression springs keep things quiet and smooth.
• Hard anodized aluminum pistons provide durability and performance.
• The internal crossover design helps with fluid flow and response.
• Dual seals keep dust and moisture out, meeting D.O.T. specs for safety.
• Each caliper has a machined logo that’s hand-painted—details matter.
• Uses common 4-piston pads for easy replacements (P/N DR1). No hunting around for special parts.
• Standard colors are red, black, or silver, but you can go custom if you want something unique.
• Available for both front and rear, so you can keep that aesthetic consistent.
• The rear systems include a drum-in-hat park brake, and for c-clip style axles, they’ve got Baer’s Verislide self-centering brackets.
• Banjo style fittings are used—no pipe threads here, just solid engineering.
• 100% MADE IN THE USA with materials sourced right here at home!
