Overview
The Baer Brakes Extreme Plus rear system in Comp Yellow, part number 4262098CY, targets rear axles with Ford 9 Inch Torino (Late Big) bearing housing ends and a 5×5.00 inch bolt pattern. A 1-piece Monoblock 6-piston 6S caliper and a 14 inch two-piece rotor make up the core hardware, and no particular vehicle is named for this kit.
Baer built the backing plate to serve as the caliper mount while housing a 1-piece park brake shoe assembly. The rotors are pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware, and the system uses FMSI D1247 pads.
Key features
- 1-piece Monoblock, 6-piston, 6S caliper made in Phoenix, Arizona
- Caliper machined from 2618 aluminum forging, U.S.-sourced
- Powder coated caliper in Comp Yellow
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons to reduce uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Backing plate that integrates the 1-piece park brake shoe assembly
Care and maintenance
A powder coated caliper holds up well to regular use when it is cleaned gently. Rinse off mud, road salt and brake dust after hard use, and avoid harsh solvents that can soften the coating. A soft cloth and mild soap are enough for routine cleaning, and cleaners should stay away from the rotor friction surface.
Inspect the caliper finish periodically for chips where stones may have struck it. Small areas of exposed metal can be touched up before corrosion spreads. Re-check the bolts holding the caliper and backing plate after the first few drives, since new hardware can settle as it seats.
- Keep the caliper free of grease near the pads
- Check the rotor for uneven wear during each service
- Replace damaged dust boots before they allow contamination

Vehicle fitment
No vehicle is named for this kit. It is matched to the Ford 9 Inch Torino/Late Big Bearing axle flange with a 5×5.00 inch bolt pattern and 5 lug count. The N085P template can be used to test the system against your wheel before committing to a fit.
Installation notes
Check that the rear axle carries the Ford 9 Inch Torino (Late Big) bearing housing ends before mounting the backing plate, because the rotor and caliper are sized to that flange. Stainless braided hoses come with the kit, but park brake cables do not, so confirm your parking brake cable connects to the built-in shoe assembly. Brake work should be carried out by a trained technician.
What’s included
The Comp Yellow 6S caliper, two-piece slotted and drilled zinc-plated rotors with NAS high grade stainless hardware, the backing plate with park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with hardware.
