Overview
The Baer Brakes 53061-020 is a pair of rear Claw performance brake rotors for the 2011-2020 Dodge Durango and the 2011-2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The rotors are meant for vehicles with 330mm front rotors and solid rear rotors. Each rotor is a one-piece, full cast iron solid disc with a slotted and cross-drilled friction face, sold as a direct replacement for the factory rear rotors.
The slots and drilled holes vent gas and dust away from the pad during braking, which Baer Brakes links to a more consistent pedal and less brake fade. The zinc-plated finish gives the rotors a bright look behind open-center wheels. The kit is rear only and does not include front rotors.
Key features
- Slotted and drilled face that lets gas and dust escape between pad and rotor
- Enhanced vane structure and premium cast iron for durability
- Mill balanced, direct replacement rotor
- Chamfered cross-drilled holes to minimize stress cracking
- Zinc-plated finish for open-center wheels
Setup check for rear rotors
Solid rear rotors are often matched with larger front rotors on vehicles set up this way, so the front and rear brake balance should be considered when you replace only the rear. Mixed setups can change how the brakes share the load, which is why checking the front rotor size before buying matters.
Solid rotors have no internal vent path, so they rely on the slots and cross-drilled holes to move gas and dust from the pad face. Replace pads when you replace rotors, and bed the new surface in gently for the first several stops so the pad material transfers evenly.
- Confirm the front rotor size before buying
- Replace pads with the rotors
- Inspect the rear caliper slide pins

Vehicle fitment
It fits the 2011-2020 Dodge Durango, the 2018-2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2011-2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK). It is built for vehicles with 330mm front rotors and solid rear rotors.
This solid rear rotor is not a vented replacement, and it does not cover the front axle. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The kit does not include an ABS tone ring, so the existing tone ring should be reused. Rotor replacement involves hydraulic brake parts, so have it performed by someone experienced with brake service.
What’s included
A set of two one-piece solid rear rotors, one for each side of the axle.
Not included: ABS tone ring, front rotors, brake pads and hardware.
