Overview
The Baer Brakes 4401006FR is a Pro Plus front brake system in Fire Red, combining a 6-piston fixed caliper with a 14-inch two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor. It fits the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK, the 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL and the 2020–2025 Jeep Gladiator JT with OE spindles and hubs.
The 14-inch rotor suits most wheels 18 inches or larger, and the minimum wheel diameter is 18.0 inch. Wheel styles vary widely, so a fit with every wheel cannot be assured. Use the Q082P template to compare the system against the wheel you intend to run.
Key features
- Fire Red powder-coated caliper in a two-piece 6-piston 6P design.
- Components CNC machined from forged or billet aluminum stock sourced in the US.
- Noise-suppression clips, abutments and pistons are all stainless steel.
- Staggered piston layout reduces uneven pad wear.
- Dual seals protect against dust, weather and pressure.
- Billet aluminum hat on the two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor.
- Stainless NAS hardware comes pre-assembled on the rotors.
Things to check
Before a new brake system goes on, look at the parts that carry the load into the rotor. Wheel bearings with play, worn ball joints and loose hub bolts all allow the rotor to move, which causes vibration and uneven pad wear that no caliper can fix. A quick check of play at the wheel while the vehicle is raised is worthwhile.
Brake fluid is another item to review. It absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point and can make the pedal feel soft during hard stops. Replacing the fluid at installation gives the new components a clean start and makes bleeding simpler.
- Check wheel bearings for play
- Inspect ball joints and hub bolts
- Replace old brake fluid during installation
