Overview
The Baer Brakes 4301019CY is a front Extreme disc brake kit finished in Comp Yellow, made for GM 1500 trucks and SUVs. It fits the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, Avalanche and Escalade families. It swaps in a 15-inch rotor and a six-piston caliper at each front corner.
The 6S caliper is a one-piece monoblock design made in Phoenix, Arizona, from CNC-machined 2618 aluminum forging. Dual seals, staggered pistons and stainless steel abutments are part of the build, and the pad type is D1247. Mounting brackets and hardware come with the package.

Choosing the right setup
Front brake upgrades work as a system. A larger rotor and multi-piston caliper change the load on the wheel bearings, the ball joints and the steering components, so the rest of the front end should be inspected while the kit is installed. Worn tie rods or loose hub hardware become more noticeable once braking force increases.
Wheel choice matters as much as the brake hardware. Compare the wheel with the template and check that the spokes clear the caliper before buying. Some owners pair the kit with new pads and fresh brake fluid at the same time, since the system is only as good as the fluid and friction material behind it.
- Inspect ball joints and tie rods during installation
- Replace brake fluid when the system is opened
- Check wheel clearance before buying new wheels

Installation notes
Baer template N070U is the reference for checking wheel clearance, and the 19.0-inch minimum wheel diameter is the figure to match when choosing wheels. The kit re-uses the vehicle’s original hoses, so no hose swap is part of this package. Brake work affects stopping, so a qualified technician should handle the installation and bleeding.
What’s included
The kit includes the Comp Yellow 6S monoblock caliper, the 15-inch slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor, and the mounting brackets with hardware.
Not included: Brake hoses. The original equipment hoses on your vehicle are re-used.
