Overview
The Baer Brakes Claw Rotor and Pad Combo Kit, part number 55133-1194, is a rear brake kit for 2007–2014 Chevrolet, GMC and Cadillac applications. Rotors and ceramic pads are supplied together in one kit.
Each kit gives you a pair of direct replacement Baer Claw rotors that are slot, drilled and zinc-plated, plus ceramic street pads and stainless-steel abutment and noise suppression hardware. The combination is built for daily driving and a brighter wheel-area look.
Key features
- Slot, drilled and zinc-plated rotors for performance and a bright appearance
- Ceramic performance street pads supplied with the kit
- Stainless-steel abutment clips and noise suppression hardware
- Direct bolt-on replacement for the vehicles covered below
- Drum-in-hat rear rotor with floating construction
- Rust resistant coating on the rotors
Choosing pads for street use
Ceramic street pads are commonly chosen for quiet operation and lower visible dust on paved roads. They are designed for street use rather than repeated hard driving, so the pad choice should match how the vehicle is used. Consider the front and rear together so braking balance stays consistent across the vehicle.
Before installation, examine the hub and caliper mounting area for rust, corrosion and damage. Clean the hub face so the rotor sits flat, and confirm the abutment clips seat correctly. Because the kit does not include bearings, inspect the wheel bearings for play while the hub is off and address any wear before the new rotors go on.
- Clean the hub face and rotor hat before fitting
- Inspect wheel bearings while the hub is exposed
- Replace corroded caliper slide pins and boots
- Bed in new pads before heavy braking
