Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262239CY is a Pro Plus rear brake kit for Ford 8.8 inch C-clip rear ends, built around a 6-piston caliper and a 14 inch two-piece slotted, drilled rotor finished in Comp Yellow. It is sold as a complete kit, with rotors, calipers, backing plates, stainless braided hoses and hardware in one set.
Baer’s backing plate serves as the caliper mount and houses a one-piece park brake shoe assembly, so the parking brake is part of the rear setup. The rotors arrive pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware. The 14 inch Pro Plus is designed for most 18 inch or larger wheels, and wheel styles vary, so check clearance with the Q082P template against the wheel you plan to run. The kit is manufactured in Phoenix, AZ from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum.
Key features
- Six-piston (6P) floating caliper with stainless steel pistons set in a staggered layout to reduce uneven pad wear.
- Dual seals protect against dust, weather and pressure.
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with a billet aluminum hat.
- Powder-coated Comp Yellow caliper finish.
- Stainless steel abutments and noise suppression clips.
- Stainless braided, DOT-approved brake hoses.
- Designed to use D0731 brake pads.
Choosing the right setup
A big rear kit changes more than stopping power. A larger rotor and six-piston caliper need wheels with enough room behind the spokes, so measure the wheel’s backspacing and inner barrel before committing. Tire size and offset also affect whether the caliper clears the rim at full steering lock. Plan these checks before the kit arrives, not after it is mounted.
Because the parking brake runs through the backing plate on this design, the rear brake setup is worth checking as a whole. Brake fluid, hoses and the rear pad compound should be matched to the kit so the pedal feels consistent from cold to hot. Mixing pad compounds between axles or sides can change how the brakes bite, so keep the setup consistent across the rear unit.
- Check wheel clearance before ordering tires
- Keep brake fluid fresh and matched to the system
- Re-torque lug nuts after the first drives

Vehicle fitment
It is designed for the Ford 8.8 inch axle flange on C-clip rear ends with a 2.5 inch axle standoff, so the axle type matters more than the vehicle model. Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering, and check clearance with the Q082P template.
Rear axles with a different flange size are not covered by this kit’s 8.8 inch flange. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The park brake cables are not included, so a separate set is needed to run the built-in park brake shoe assembly. Because the caliper mounts to the backing plate, check wheel clearance over the 14 inch rotor with the template before final assembly. Brake work is safest done by a qualified installer.
What’s included
Pre-assembled 14 inch rotors with NAS high grade stainless hardware, 6-piston calipers, the Baer backing plate with one-piece park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses and hardware.
