Overview
Baer’s Pro Plus 4301368CY is a front brake kit with a 14-inch two-piece rotor and a fixed six-piston caliper finished in Comp Yellow. It fits 1978–1988 GM G-Body cars and 1982–2003 Chevrolet and GMC S10 and S15 pickups, along with the S10 and S15 Blazer and Jimmy. The caliper is made in Phoenix, Arizona.
The rotors arrive pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware. Billet aluminum hubs come with premium bearings packed in Redline synthetic grease, billet dust caps, and stock height spindles already fitted. Stainless braided hoses, mounting brackets and hardware are also included, and Baer designs the kit for wheels 18 inches or larger.
Key features
- Six-piston (6P) fixed caliper in a Comp Yellow powder coat
- Staggered pistons help minimize uneven pad wear
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual dust/weather and pressure seals
- Two-piece, slotted, drilled and zinc-plated vented rotor with a billet aluminum hat
- Caliper body CNC machined from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum
- Billet hubs fitted with premium bearings and Redline synthetic grease
- Steel braided hoses with stainless hardware, DOT approved
Choosing the right setup
Brake kits of this size usually get pulled for two reasons: pads wear unevenly, or the rotors develop heat cracking or a lip at the edge. Checking pad thickness at each service and looking at rotor faces for grooves or blue discoloration shows when the front end needs attention. A larger rotor lets the caliper work with less heat per stop, which matters most on long grades and heavier loads.
Because the spindles, hubs and hoses arrive as a set, inspect the rest of the front end before installation. Tie rods, ball joints and wheel bearings all affect how smoothly the new rotor runs. Replacing worn parts while the hub is apart is usually cheaper than returning to it later.
- Inspect brake lines for chafing before reinstalling
- Confirm the template clears the wheel before final assembly
- Torque wheel bolts in a star pattern after the first drive
