Overview
The Baer Brakes 4301571R is an Extreme Plus front brake kit in Red for 1960-1986 Chevrolet and GMC C10 2WD 1/2 ton trucks. It also covers Chevrolet Suburban models, the 1960-1966 GMC 3000, GMC C15 trucks from 1975-1978, GMC C15/C1500 trucks from 1967-1974, and GMC C1500 trucks from 1979-1986. A 1-piece monoblock 6-piston caliper squeezes a 14 inch, 2-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor.
The kit suits trucks running Cpp X10 spindles or Wilwood C10 Aluminum Modular Pro spindles, which are sold separately. The 14 inch Extreme Plus is designed for most wheels 18 inch or larger, so check the wheel with template N117P before mounting it.

Caring for red powder coat
The powder coated finish on the calipers protects the metal from road salt and moisture, but it can chip where stones strike the lower edge. Touch up small chips with a heat-resistant paint designed for brake components rather than general spray paint. Keep the caliper clean of mud and grime so inspection is easier.
Brake dust builds up quickly on front wheels, and red calipers show it more clearly than darker colors. Use a soft brush with water and mild soap, and avoid harsh solvents near the seals and the powder coat. After wet or muddy outings, rinse the front end and check pads, hoses and rotor surfaces for debris. Inspect the hoses for chafing against the frame.
- Rinse off mud after trail use
- Touch up chips before rust starts
- Avoid harsh solvents near seals
