Overview
Grabber Blue is the caliper color on Baer’s Pro Plus rear brake system, part number 4302532GB. It targets 1988–1998 Chevrolet and GMC C1500 2WD trucks and 1992–1999 C1500 Suburban and Yukon models, with the title specifying a W/OE C-clip (Bih) rear end and 10 inch rear drums.
The system is built around a 6-piston 6P caliper and a 14 inch two-piece rotor, slotted, drilled and zinc plated. It uses D0731 pads. It is a performance grade system, and the 14 inch Pro Plus fits most 18 inch or larger wheels.
Key features
- 6-piston 6P floating caliper with stainless pistons and stainless abutments.
- Pistons are staggered to even out pad wear.
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure.
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with a billet aluminum hat.
- NAS high grade stainless hardware comes with the pre-assembled rotors.
- One-piece park brake shoe assembly housed in the backing plate.
- Powder coated finish on CNC machined forged or billet aluminum parts.
- Manufactured in Phoenix, Az.
Before you buy
A rear disc conversion changes how the axle stops, so it works best when the rest of the rear brake system is inspected at the same time. Drum-to-disc parts share hydraulic lines, a proportioning setup and park brake hardware with older components, and worn parts in those areas can limit what the new calipers and rotors deliver. Brake fluid should be fresh before the first drive, and the hoses should be checked for chafing once the wheels are mounted.
Pad and rotor wear shows up as pulsation, a pedal that feels soft, or a squeal that stays after the pads have bedded in. Inspect rotors for scoring and check the slots and holes for cracks during routine service. Pads and rotors wear at different rates, so replacing them together usually keeps braking even. Keep the wheel bolts torqued to specification after the first few drives.
