Overview
The Baer Brakes 533056-020 is a pair of rear cross-drilled and slotted rotors for the 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL, with the qualifier of 328 mm rear rotors and brake code Bry. Its friction surface combines slots and drilled holes so gas and dust can escape between the pad and rotor during braking.
The cross-drilled holes are chamfered, which helps minimize stress cracking. Each rotor is zinc plated for a bright appearance behind open-center wheels, and it is a premium, mill balanced direct replacement rotor.
Key features
- Slotted and drilled friction surface for gas and dust escape during braking.
- Chamfered cross-drilled holes that Baer says minimize stress cracking.
- Zinc-plated finish for a brilliant look in open-center wheels.
- Premium, mill balanced direct replacement design.
- Solid drum-in-hat rotor with one-piece full cast cast iron construction.
Choosing cross-drilled rotors
Cross-drilled and slotted rotors add cut edges to the friction face. Those edges help clear gas and dust, but they also create stress points where cracks can start over time. Chamfered holes soften those edges, which is why the hole finish matters when comparing rotor designs for daily driving and off-road use.
When choosing this style, match the rotor with pads that suit the heat load and the driving style. Pads that are too aggressive can wear the rotor faster, while very soft compounds may not grip well when the vehicle is loaded. Inspect the ABS tone ring before fitting, because the new rotor must sit squarely against the hub surface.
- Confirm the rear brake code before ordering
- Inspect hub surfaces for rust before fitting
- Check the ABS tone ring position on the hub
- Replace pads and rotors as a matched pair

Vehicle fitment
Baer lists these rear rotors for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK and the 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL, with the qualifier of a 328 mm rear rotor and brake code Bry.
Other Wrangler JK years are not shown on the list, and the JL entry covers 2018 through 2025 only. Rotors for vehicles without the Bry brake code or 328 mm rear diameter fall outside the qualifier. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The ABS tone ring is not included, so the tone ring already on the hub needs to be kept in place. Confirm the 328 mm rear rotor diameter and brake code Bry before fitting. Brake work changes stopping behavior, so test the brakes at low speed before normal driving.
What’s included
A pair of cross-drilled and slotted rear rotors.
Not included: ABS tone ring and pads.
