Overview
The Baer Brakes 4301579CY is a Pro Plus front brake kit in Comp Yellow for 1988-1998 Chevrolet and GMC C1500 2WD trucks and 1992-1999 Chevrolet and GMC C1500 Suburban and SUV models. It also fits the 1995-1999 Chevrolet Tahoe and the 1992-1999 GMC Yukon. Each kit pairs a 6-piston fixed caliper with a 14 inch, 2-piece slotted, drilled, zinc plated rotor.
This kit is built for trucks running React 2 Inch Drop Spindles. The spindles are not included, so they need to be in place before the kit is mounted. The Pro Plus is designed to fit most 18 inch or larger wheels, and any specific wheel should be checked against template Q117P.

Drop spindles and fit checks
Drop spindles change the geometry at the front hub, so the brake kit sits in a different position than it would on stock components. Before ordering, confirm the spindle type on the truck matches what the kit expects. Mismatched parts can cause caliper contact with the spindle arm or poor rotor alignment, both of which are easy to miss until the truck is on the road.
Wheel choice matters just as much. A larger wheel with a different backspacing can reduce clearance around the caliper, so measure before buying. Taller tires change rolling diameter and can shift the speedometer reading, which is a common reason owners revisit their setup after a big brake upgrade.
- Verify spindle type before purchase
- Check wheel backspacing against the caliper
- Confirm steering arm clearance at full lock
