Overview
The Baer Brakes Pro Plus 4301367HO is a 13-inch front brake kit in Hugger Orange with a fixed 6-piston caliper. It fits 1978–1988 GM G-Body cars and 1982–2003 Chevrolet and GMC S10 and S15 pickups, plus Blazer and Jimmy models. Wheels of 17 inches or larger suit this kit.
Each billet hub comes with premium bearings packed in Redline synthetic grease, with billet dust caps. Stock height spindles come pre-assembled, and stainless braided hoses, mounting brackets and hardware are part of the package. Baer produces the caliper in Phoenix, Arizona.

On the trail
Off-road braking puts more heat into the front rotors than normal street driving, especially on long descents taken in low gear. Hot rotors can fade, and pads can glaze if they overheat repeatedly. Letting the brakes cool between hard descents helps keep the pedal firm.
Mud, sand and water entering the caliper area are common trail problems. Dual seals help, but rinsing the wheel area and checking the boots after each outing keeps contaminants away from the pistons. Stainless pistons resist corrosion, which suits vehicles driven in wet or salted conditions.
Steering components and wheel bearings also take hard use off road, and worn parts change how evenly the rotor wears. Check for play in the hub with the wheel off the ground.
- Rinse the caliper area after water crossings
- Watch for pedal fade on long grades
