Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262770R is an 11.65 inch rear disc brake kit for Ford 8.8 inch C-clip rear ends fitted with a 2.5 inch axle standoff, built for a four-lug hub. It is a drum-to-disc conversion, so it replaces rear drum brakes with a vented rotor and a red powder coated Classic caliper.
The kit centers on a single-piston Classic caliper with an integral park brake, paired with a slotted, drilled and zinc plated one-piece rotor. Baer’s Classic line suits owners who want modern braking on smaller wheels. The rotor fits some 15 inch wheels and most 16 inch or larger wheels. Wheel style can affect clearance, so check Template V107I against the wheel you plan to use.
Key features
- Single-piston Classic caliper with integral park brake
- One-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor
- Stainless braided brake hoses with steel braided construction
- Red powder coated finish
- Uses common FMSI D0627 brake pad
- Brackets, hardware and fittings included
- Fits some 15 inch and most 16 inch or larger wheels
Before you buy
A drum-to-disc conversion changes more than the braking surface. The rear axle, hub, brake lines and parking system all work together, so review the whole rear end before starting. Measure the existing flange and standoff, since a mismatch shows up as misaligned rotors or hoses that do not reach. Taking time at this stage saves rework later.
Wheel choice matters as much as the brake hardware. Rotor diameter and caliper placement can limit which wheel designs clear, so test-fit the wheel before final assembly and check spacing against the caliper body. Tires with a larger overall diameter can also change how the brakes feel under load.
- Replace worn wheel bearings and seals while the axle is open
- Inspect the axle shafts and hub surfaces for wear
- Plan for a park brake cable set if the integral park brake will be used

Vehicle fitment
The kit is built around the Ford 8.8 inch C-clip axle flange with a 2.5 inch standoff, so match your rear axle to that flange first.
Rear housings with other flanges fall outside this kit. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Test-fit the chosen wheel against Template V107I before final assembly, since wheel clearance varies by style. The park brake cables are sold separately, so a cable set must be obtained for the integral park brake to work. Hoses are steel braided and come with the fittings listed in the kit.
What’s included
The kit supplies the Classic caliper with integral park brake, the one-piece rotor, brackets, mounting hardware, stainless braided brake hoses and fittings.
Not included: Park brake cables, which are sold separately.
