So, you’re looking to upgrade your braking game? Let me tell you about the Baer SS4+ rear brake system. This isn’t just any brake kit; it’s built for serious performance while keeping things compact enough to fit under your 17-inch wheels. With a 4-piston caliper mounted on a robust 13-inch two-piece rotor, this setup offers the kind of stopping power you’d expect from Baer, but in a size that’s just right for those smaller wheel options.

What really sets this system apart is the attention to detail. The rotors are not just any rotors—they’re slot and drilled, zinc-plated beauties designed to handle heat and resist corrosion. And let’s not forget the stainless steel brake hoses that come standard, along with D.O.T. compliant seals that keep dust and weather out. You want reliability? This kit’s got you covered.

Now, if you're running a Dana 60 or a Chrysler 8.750 rear housing, this kit is designed with you in mind. Just a heads up, though: it doesn’t include park brake cables, so keep that in mind when you’re getting everything ready for installation.

Why should you consider the SS4+?

• It packs all the benefits of Baer’s larger systems but in a smaller package, perfect for those 17-inch wheels.
• If you’re an enthusiast wanting to keep that stock look while having the option to upgrade your wheels later, this is a solid choice.
• Everything you need is included, from hoses to fittings, except for the park brake cables.
• The hat is made from 6061 T-6 billet aluminum, anodized black, and securely bolted to the rotor—no cheap stuff here.
• Plus, you’ve got high-grade U281 fine thread stainless hardware with captured nuts, so you know it’s built to last.

Let’s dive into the S4 caliper features:

• Four 10mm cross bolts provide maximum stiffness—no flexing under pressure.
• Stainless steel abutments and noise suppression springs keep everything quiet and smooth.
• Hard anodized aluminum pistons mean durability and performance.
• The internal crossover design is engineered for efficiency.
• Dual seals—both dust/weather and pressure—meet D.O.T. specs, ensuring you’re safe on the road.
• And the logo? Machined and hand-painted for that extra touch.
• It uses a common 4-piston pad for easy replacements, so you won’t be hunting for parts down the line.
• Available in a sleek silver powder coat finish, with custom colors if you want to stand out.
• Want that matching look? It’s available for both front and rear setups.
• And don’t worry about fittings; Baer uses the correct banjo style, steering clear of any pipe thread nonsense.
• Best of all, it’s 100% made in the USA with locally sourced materials—supporting American craftsmanship!

So, if you’re serious about your ride and want a brake system that’s as tough as you are, the Baer SS4+ is definitely worth considering.
