Overview
Fire Red is the caliper finish on the Baer Brakes Extreme Plus rear disc brake kit, part number 4262094FR, made for Ford 8 inch and 9 inch rear axles with small bearing housing ends. The kit is built around a 1-piece Monoblock 6-piston, 6S caliper and 14.0 inch, 2-piece vented rotors on a 5×5.00 (5 lug) bolt pattern.
A 1-piece park brake shoe assembly is housed in the backing plate that the caliper mounts to, so the park brake function is built into the rear brake unit. Fitment depends on the axle flange and wheel pattern rather than on any listed vehicle.
Key features
- Six-piston 6S caliper in a one-piece Monoblock housing, made in Phoenix, Az
- CNC machined from US-sourced 2618 aluminum forging
- Powder-coated finish in Fire Red
- Stainless pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons designed to minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual dust, weather and pressure seals
- 2-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat, pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware
Care and inspection
Rear disc brakes on a live axle see heat, water and road grit, so routine checks keep them dependable. Look at the rotor face for deep grooves, blue heat marks or a lip at the outer edge. Caliper pins and boots should move freely, since a sticky slide causes one-sided pad wear and drag.
Stainless braided hoses are durable but still need inspection for chafing where they pass near suspension parts. Check the banjo fittings and bleed screws whenever the wheel comes off. Keep rotor hardware tight after the first few drives, then recheck it periodically.
Pad replacement is a good time to clean the backing plate, lubricate the contact points and inspect the park brake shoes. Keep brake dust away from sensors and cables, and avoid aiming a high-pressure washer directly at the caliper seals.

Vehicle fitment
The axle requirement is Ford 8 inch/9 inch small bearing housing ends with a 5×5.00 wheel bolt pattern, so match those dimensions to your rear axle. Match your vehicle’s year, model and trim to the kit before ordering.
Baer cannot guarantee wheel fit across every wheel style. Use the N085P template to compare the 14.0 inch rotor against the wheel you intend to run, since the system is designed for most wheels 18.0 inch or larger. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Rotors are supplied pre-assembled with stainless hardware, and the kit includes stainless braided hoses. Park brake cables are not part of the package, so the park brake will need cables from another source. An experienced brake technician should check clearances and bleed the system after mounting.
What’s included
Fire Red 6S caliper, 14.0 inch rotors on billet aluminum hats, backing plate with park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with hardware.
Not included: Park brake cables.
