Overview
The Baer Brakes 31483-1304 is a rear Claw rotor and pad combo kit that fits the 2007–2018 Toyota Tundra and the 2008–2018 Toyota Sequoia. It combines slotted, drilled and zinc-plated cast iron rotors with ceramic street pads, giving the rear brakes a matched upgrade in one package.
The Claw range is built to balance performance and road-going civility for daily drivers. The kit is a direct bolt-on replacement with no modifications needed, and it includes the abutment and noise suppression hardware. Brake lubricant is not in the box, and this kit covers the rear axle only.
Key features
- Slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotors with a brilliant appearance
- Baer Claw ceramic street pads for everyday braking
- Direct bolt-on replacement, no modifications needed
- One-piece full cast rotor construction
- Balance of performance and road-going civility for daily drivers
- Stainless-steel abutment clips and noise suppression hardware
Signs the rear brakes need service
Rear pads and rotors wear together, and a kit like this is usually installed as a matched set so the friction surfaces break in evenly. Rear brakes handle a smaller share of stopping force than the front on most trucks and SUVs, so they often last longer, but they still need periodic inspection. Checking pad thickness, rotor surface and the condition of the caliper slide pins during each service helps catch problems early.
Heavier loads, towing and frequent trail driving put more heat into the rear brakes. Ceramic street pads are designed for everyday stopping rather than repeated hard braking, so drivers who regularly tow should consider whether their setup matches that use. Replacing pads and rotors together keeps braking balanced and avoids uneven wear.
- Pulsation under braking can point to rotor runout or uneven deposits
- Grinding or squealing may mean pads are worn to the indicator
- Pulling to one side can indicate a sticking caliper

Installation notes
The kit comes with abutment clips and noise suppression hardware, so the pad mounting points are covered. Because this is a rear kit, check that your truck’s rear brake layout matches the Tundra or Sequoia listing before removing the factory rotors. Brake lubricant must be sourced separately. If rear brake work is unfamiliar, have a qualified technician handle it.
What’s included
The kit contains a pair of rear rotors, a set of Baer Claw ceramic performance street pads and the stainless-steel abutment and noise suppression hardware.
Not included: brake lubricant.
