Overview
The Baer Brakes 4301389HO is a Pro Plus front brake kit in Hugger Orange for 1960–1989 Chevrolet and GMC C10, C15 and Suburban trucks. It pairs a 6-piston fixed caliper with a 14.0 inch two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor, and it is designed for use with a 2.5 inch drop spindle.
Baer built the kit for 6-lug trucks with a 6×5.50 bolt pattern, and the hubs, mounting brackets, stainless braided hoses and hardware all come with it. The 14 inch Pro Plus is intended for wheels 18 inch or larger, and the kit is supplied without spindles.
Key features
- Two-piece 6-piston 6P fixed caliper in Hugger Orange with a powder coated finish
- Two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor with a billet aluminum hat
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons designed to reduce uneven pad wear
- Dual dust, weather and pressure seals on the caliper
- Billet aluminum hubs with premium bearings packed in Redline synthetic grease
- DOT approved steel braided brake hoses
Spindle and wheel fit
The spindle sets the hub position, the rotor height and the wheel offset that the brake parts depend on. A spindle with the wrong drop or bolt pattern can throw off caliper clearance and make the rotor sit out of line. Confirm the spindle matches the axle and steering components on your truck before the kit is assembled.
Wheel clearance is worth checking after the brakes are mounted, not only before. Turn the wheel full lock in both directions and look for contact between the caliper, hose and tire or fender. Braided hoses need enough slack to flex with suspension travel, so route them away from moving parts and hot exhaust areas.
- Check spindle compatibility with axle and steering parts
- Route hoses clear of tires and suspension arms
- Test wheel turning after the caliper is installed
- Confirm bolt pattern before mounting any wheel

Installation notes
Check clearance with the Q117P template against the wheel you plan to run before mounting, since Baer does not guarantee wheel fit across every style. The 2.5 inch drop spindle must be installed before the hub and caliper assembly goes on. Given the braided lines and caliper work, have a shop experienced with disc brakes inspect the install before the truck is driven.
What’s included
Six-piston 6P calipers, two-piece rotors pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware, billet aluminum hubs with premium bearings and billet dust caps, all mounting brackets, stainless braided hoses and hardware.
Not included: the drop spindle. Spindles are not included, so the Cpp nodular iron 2.5 inch drop spindle must be sourced separately.
