Overview
The Baer Brakes 4302481B is a black Extreme Plus rear brake system kit made for the Detroit Speed (DSE) C6/DSE rear floater. It combines a 6S six-piston monoblock caliper, a 14 inch rotor and a prepared hub into one rear package for an axle upgrade.
Before shipment, Baer fits the bearings and races into each hub and packs them with Redline synthetic grease. The system is a general fit for GM C6/DSE floater setups using the Corvette Pb assembly. Match the kit to your axle before buying by checking your vehicle’s year, model and trim.
Key features
- Forged one-piece monoblock caliper with six pistons, designated 6S
- Black powder coated finish on the caliper body
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered piston arrangement intended to reduce uneven pad wear
- Dual seals rated against dust, weather and pressure
- Drilled, slotted, zinc-plated two-piece rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Assembled in Phoenix, Az using US-sourced materials
Choosing pads for this caliper
The six-piston caliper clamps the rotor with more pad area than a single-piston design, so pad choice affects how the system feels. Street pads offer quieter operation and lower dust, while performance compounds bite harder when warm but may squeal more. Match the pad compound to how the vehicle is driven rather than choosing the most aggressive option.
Rotors and pads are usually replaced together, since a worn pad can glaze or scar a rotor face. Check for uneven pad wear, which can point to a sticking slide pin or a seized piston. Keep the dust boots clean and add a light coat of caliper grease at the slide points during inspection.
- Measure pad thickness at every wheel removal
- Replace rotors that show heavy grooves or blue heat marks
- Use anti-squeal shims with the pad set
- Verify hub and rotor torque after each tire service

Vehicle fitment
Its coverage is a general fit for the GM C6/DSE floater with the Corvette Pb assembly. Confirm axle compatibility before ordering.
Other GM rear axles and floater setups are outside this kit’s design. Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The hubs come with bearings and races installed and packed with Redline synthetic grease. Once they are in place, the assembly bolts to the control arms, so the main job is mounting the hub-and-rotor unit.
What’s included
The kit includes the black 6S rear caliper, the 14 inch two-piece rotor with billet aluminum hat, the hub assembly with bearings and races, and the Corvette Pb assembly.
Not included: Wheels are not supplied; select one at 18.0 inch minimum diameter or larger.
