Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262149FR is a Fire Red Pro Plus 13.0 Inch rear brake kit for Ford 9 Inch Torino (Late Big) bearing housing ends. Its 6-piston fixed caliper clamps a 13.0 Inch vented two-piece rotor, making it a complete rear disc setup.
Baer’s backing plate holds the caliper and a one-piece park brake shoe assembly in the same unit, giving the rear axle both service and parking braking. Rotors are slotted, drilled and zinc plated, and the pads use the D0731 type identified by FMSI number.
Buyers with a Ford 9 Inch Torino/Late Big Bearing rear end and a 5×4.50/5×4.75 bolt pattern are the audience for this kit. No vehicle fitment is listed, so check the axle details before selecting it.
Key features
- Two-piece 6P caliper built in Phoenix, Az, with six pistons
- Aluminum components CNC machined from forged or billet stock sourced in the US
- Powder coated caliper with stainless pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons help minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals keep out dust, weather and pressure
- Rotor with a billet aluminum hat, pre-assembled with stainless hardware
- Braided stainless hoses that are DOT approved
Matching the parts to your driving
Rear disc systems suit a range of use, from daily driving to trail and tow work, but the pad compound and rotor condition matter more as loads rise. Heavier loads generate more heat, so pad choice and inspection interval should follow how the vehicle is actually used.
When the rear brakes are upgraded, the front system and the proportioning between axles should be reviewed. A stronger rear can shift braking balance, and a mismatch may show up as rear lock-up on hard stops.
Keep the caliper slide surfaces clean and lubricated during service, and check that the caliper moves freely after reinstallation. Seized slides cause uneven pad wear that a staggered piston design cannot fully prevent.
- Review braking balance front to rear
- Clean and lubricate caliper slides
- Match pad compound to typical loads
