Overview
The Baer Brakes Pro Plus 4401001R is a front disc brake system kit for the 2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler JK with OE spindles and hubs. It pairs a two-piece six-piston caliper with a 14-inch slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor, and the kit is built to fit most wheels 18 inches or larger. The caliper is finished in red, which makes the kit easy to identify on a JK wheel well.
The Pro Plus is a performance front brake upgrade. It uses the D0731 brake pad type, so pads follow the standard FMSI number. It is built for owners of a JK that keeps its original front spindles and hubs.
Key features
- Two-piece six-piston (6P) fixed caliper in red, manufactured in Phoenix, Az
- Two-piece 14-inch rotor with slotted, drilled and zinc-plated surface and a billet aluminum hat
- Vented rotor construction
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons to help minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- Powder coated finish; CNC machined from US sourced forged or billet aluminum
Choosing a front brake upgrade
A front brake upgrade is most useful when the vehicle is heavier, driven hard or fitted with larger tires. Larger calipers and rotors add stopping capacity, but they also add weight to the front end and may require wheels with enough room behind the spokes. Measure the wheel clearance before the new parts arrive.
Pads should be matched to the caliper and used at a steady pace for the first stops so the friction layer forms evenly. Pre-assembled rotors and stainless hardware reduce set-up time, but the bracket bolts still need correct torque. After installation, a short test drive in a clear area helps confirm pedal feel before normal driving.
- Consider tire size before choosing a wheel
- Bed in new pads with gentle stops
- Torque bracket and wheel bolts correctly
- Bleed the system fully after caliper changes
