If you’re looking to take your 1967-1969 GM F-Body to the next level, the Baer 6S Extreme+ rear brake system is a game changer. This setup features a robust 6-piston Monoblock caliper that’s bolted onto a 14-inch two-piece rotor that's not just slotted and drilled but also zinc plated for durability. I’ve been through my share of brake setups, and let me tell you, the attention to detail here is impressive.

One of the things that stands out is the stainless steel brake hoses that come with the kit, along with calipers that are equipped with D.O.T. compliant dust and weather seals. No one wants to worry about their brakes failing because of the elements, right? Plus, the NAS high-grade stainless hardware means everything is built to last. The rotors come pre-assembled, which is a blessing when you’re in the garage trying to get everything put together.

This isn’t just any brake system; the 6S and 6R R-Spec calipers are Baer’s flagship offering. They’re crafted from a single piece of US-sourced 2618 forged aluminum, which gives you both strength and a lightweight feel. And if you’re into aesthetics, you’ll appreciate that these calipers give you the same sleek look front and rear—something Baer uniquely offers.

So, what’s the fitment like?

• It’s designed specifically for 1967-1969 GM F-Bodies equipped with Buick/Olds/Pontiac 10 Bolt and 12 Bolt non C-Clip rear axles with bearing-on-axle ends.

Why should you consider the Extreme+?

• The forged MonoBlock caliper is made right here in the USA.
• Includes park brake cables, so you won’t be hunting for those separately.
• It requires an 18-inch minimum wheel size, which is pretty standard for performance setups.
• Everything you need is included—hoses, fittings, the whole package.
• The rotor hat is made from 6061 T-6 billet aluminum, anodized black, and bolted to the rotor for extra strength.
• High-grade U281 fine thread stainless hardware with captured nuts means you won’t be losing any parts during installation.

Let’s dive into the features of the 6S Extreme+ caliper:

• This isn’t just any caliper; it’s the only 6-piston forged monoblock available for street use.
• Equipped with stainless steel pistons, abutments, and noise suppression springs to keep things quiet.
• Staggered piston sizes help minimize pad wear, which can save you some cash down the line.
• It uses common race pad backing plates (P/N D1247 or DR11), so you have options when it comes to replacements.
• With dual seals for dust, weather, and pressure, you know it meets D.O.T. specs without a hitch.
• The caliper can accommodate rotors ranging from 13.5 to 16 inches, giving you some flexibility.
• Each caliper features a machined logo that's hand-painted—little touches like this add character.
• You can choose from standard colors like red, black, and silver, or go for a custom finish if you want to stand out.
• For the rear systems, there’s a drum-in-hat park brake, which is a nice touch for those who want to keep things tidy.
• And if you have c-clip style axles, Baer includes their Verislide self-centering brackets to make installation a breeze.
• Everything uses correct banjo-style fittings, avoiding the mess of pipe threads.
• Best of all, it’s 100% made in the USA with American-sourced materials!

In short, if you want to upgrade your Pontiac Firebird with a brake system that’s tough, reliable, and looks great, the Baer 6S Extreme+ is definitely worth considering. It’s everything you need for serious stopping power without compromising on style.
