Overview
Monster Green is the caliper finish on the Baer Brakes 4301682MG-2, a front 6T brake kit for GM C/K 1500 trucks from 1999 to 2025 and SUVs from 2000 to 2025. The package centers on a 6-piston caliper in the 2-piece direct mount style, which is fixed rather than floating, paired with a 13.5 inch vented, slotted and zinc-plated rotor.
Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac full-size trucks and SUVs are covered. Caliper bodies are CNC machined from forged or billet aluminum, powder coated, and fitted with stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips. The hoses are steel braided and DOT approved, and brackets and hardware are part of the package. The kit is intended for wheels 17 inches and larger.
Key features
- Monster Green powder coated 6T caliper
- Dual dust, weather and pressure seals
- Staggered pistons aimed at more even pad wear
- Semi-metallic friction material for the pads
- Slotted, zinc-plated 1-piece vented rotor
- Steel braided hoses with DOT approval
Caring for powder coated calipers
Powder coating protects the caliper body from road salt, grime and light stone strikes, but the finish can still chip or fade with heat and abrasion. Brake dust and cleaners can build up on the surface, so clean the caliper with mild soap and water and avoid harsh solvents. Look for chips near the bolt holes and mounting faces, where corrosion can start.
Pad wear and rotor condition matter as much as the caliper finish. Staggered pistons are intended to even out pad wear, but uneven wear can still come from a sticking slide, a seized piston or a loose bracket. Inspect the pads at each service and make sure the caliper slides freely. Keep the hose away from exhaust and moving suspension parts when reinstalling.
- Clean the caliper body with mild soap and water
- Touch up chips with a heat-resistant finish if bare metal shows
- Check pad wear evenly on both sides of the axle
