Overview
The Baer Brakes Pro Plus 4301586CY is a Comp Yellow front disc brake system for 1973–1988 Chevrolet and GMC C10, C15 and R-series 2WD trucks. It is built on a 6-piston two-piece caliper and a 13 inch slotted, drilled rotor that Baer intends for wheels of 17 inch or larger.
Baer manufactures these calipers in Phoenix, Arizona, and the aluminum parts are CNC machined from US sourced forged or billet stock. The kit is rated Performance grade and attaches to Dse forged aluminum modular spindles, which are a separate item and are not included here.
Key features
- Staggered piston arrangement for more even pad wear
- Noise suppression clips and stainless abutments fitted to the caliper
- Dual dust, weather and pressure seals
- Comp Yellow powder coated caliper finish
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with a billet aluminum hat
- Braided steel hoses, DOT approved
- FMSI D0731 pad specification
Caliper care and corrosion
Powder coated calipers hold up well in ordinary use, but road salt, grit and heat can wear through the finish over time. Wash the calipers and rotors with plain water and mild soap when the truck is cleaned, and avoid strong solvents on the coating or the aluminum body.
Yellow finishes show dirt and brake dust more than darker colors, so a quick rinse after wet or salted roads keeps the caliper looking fresh. Look for chipped coating around the mounting bolts, since bare aluminum there can corrode and affect bolt tension over time.
- Rinse calipers after wet or salted roads
- Avoid harsh solvents on powder coated surfaces
- Check mounting bolts for corrosion at each service
- Inspect rubber boots and seals for cracks

Vehicle fitment
It fits Chevrolet C10 trucks from 1973 through 1986 (Suburban versions included), Chevrolet R10 models for 1987 (with Suburban for 1987–1988), GMC C15 trucks for 1973–1978 (Suburban versions included), GMC C1500 for 1979–1986 (Suburban included), and GMC R1500 for 1987 (with Suburban for 1987–1988).
Anything built before 1973 or after 1988, along with four-wheel-drive versions, falls outside this range. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Verify the Dse forged aluminum modular spindles are installed before mounting the kit. Dry-check the template Q072H against your wheels, since wheel fit varies by style and clearance should be confirmed before final assembly. A front brake system is safety equipment, so bleed the system and road test at low speed before normal driving.
What’s included
The kit includes the calipers, rotors with pre-assembled NAS high grade stainless hardware, mounting brackets, stainless braided hoses and hardware.
Not included: Dse forged aluminum modular spindles.
