Overview
Baer’s Pro Plus rear brake kit in Fire Red, part number 4302532FR, is a rear disc kit for 1988–1998 Chevrolet and GMC C1500 2WD trucks and 1992–1999 C1500 Suburban and Yukon models. It requires a W/OE C-clip (Bih) rear end and 10 inch rear drums, so confirm that setup before choosing this kit.
The Fire Red caliper is a 6-piston 6P unit. It works with a 14 inch two-piece rotor that is slotted, drilled and zinc plated, with a billet aluminum hat. Pads are the D0731 type, and this Pro Plus kit is Performance grade.
Key features
- Staggered pistons designed to minimize uneven pad wear.
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips.
- Dual seals protect against dust, weather and pressure.
- Rotors arrive pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware.
- Backing plate serves as the caliper mount and houses a one-piece park brake shoe assembly.
- Floating caliper design with a powder coated finish.
- Billet aluminum rotor hat on a zinc plated, drilled and slotted rotor.
- CNC machined from forged or billet aluminum sourced in the U.S.
Checking pads and rotors
Pads and rotors are the wear parts of any disc brake system, and their condition shows up in how the truck stops. Check pad thickness through the caliper window at regular service intervals. Rotor faces should be smooth and even; deep grooves or uneven wear can cause vibration and shorten pad life.
Floating calipers rely on the slides moving freely, so pins and boots should be cleaned and lubricated during service. A sticking caliper can drag the pad against the rotor and overheat the brakes. Replacing pads and rotors as a set helps keep contact even, and inspecting the park brake cable and shoe at the same time keeps the rear system balanced.
- Check pad thickness at each service
- Look for scoring or heat marks on rotors
- Keep caliper slides clean and lubricated
