Overview
The Baer Brakes Pro Plus rear kit, part 4302532S in Silver, uses a six-piston 6P caliper on a 14 inch two-piece rotor. It is aimed at GM C1500 2WD trucks and SUVs with the OE C-clip rear end and 10 inch rear drums, in the years shown in the fitment section below.
The caliper uses staggered pistons, which reduce uneven pad wear. The backing plate carries the caliper and houses a one-piece park brake shoe assembly, and the rotors arrive with NAS stainless hardware.
Key features
- Six staggered pistons to reduce uneven pad wear
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Silver powder coated 6P caliper
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Dual dust, weather and pressure seals
- CNC machined from forged or billet aluminum
- Park brake shoe assembly in the backing plate
- Braided hoses with DOT approval
On the trail
Off-road use puts more heat and water into rear brakes than daily driving. Six-piston calipers spread clamping force across more pad area, which supports consistent stopping, but the pads still need to match how the truck is used. Heavy towing and steep descents place extra demand on the rotor.
After water crossings, brakes may feel grabby until the pads dry, so test them at low speed before relying on them. Inspect braided lines for chafing from rocks and brush, and check the park brake after each trip where the truck was parked on a grade. Keep spare pads on hand if trail use is frequent.
- Dry brakes after water crossings with light pressure
- Inspect braided lines after rough trails
- Match pad compound to towing or trail use
