Overview
Baer Brakes offers the 4262241GB as a rear SS4 kit for Ford 8.8 inch C-clip rear ends with a 2.5 inch axle standoff. The S4 4-piston caliper in Grabber Blue works with a 12.0 inch, 1-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor and a 5×4.50 wheel bolt pattern with 5 lugs.
The backing plate carries the caliper and houses a 1-piece park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses come with the kit. Fit to every wheel style or manufacturer cannot be guaranteed, so use the S113E template to compare the kit with your wheel before mounting.
Key features
- Hard anodized aluminum pistons with stainless steel abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual seals that protect against dust, weather and pressure
- Powder coated Grabber Blue caliper finish
- Slotted, drilled and zinc-plated 1-piece rotor
- DR1-C pad type, identified by its FMSI number
- Stainless braided hoses supplied with the kit
- Park brake shoe assembly integrated into the backing plate
Choosing matching parts
A rear brake kit works as a system, so the rest of the braking components should be matched to it. Pads, rotor and caliper are designed to share heat and load, and mixing a different pad compound can change bite and wear. When replacing the kit, it also makes sense to look at the hub bearings and the axle seal, since those are worked on during the same job.
Think about the wheels and tires that will be used with the kit before buying. Wheel offset and tire size affect clearance around the caliper, and a larger tire can change how the brake feels under load. Confirm the caliper stays clear of the wheel through full steering travel once everything is assembled.
- Keep pad type consistent with the rotor and caliper design
- Check hub bearings and axle seals during the same job
- Confirm caliper clearance with the wheel and tire in use

Vehicle fitment
Fitment is by axle: Ford 8.8 inch C-clip rear ends with a 2.5 inch axle standoff, a 5×4.50 bolt pattern and a 16.0 inch minimum wheel diameter. Check that your vehicle’s year, model and trim suit this kit before buying.
Rear ends with a different flange, standoff or bolt pattern are outside these specifications. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
- Baer cannot promise fit with every wheel, so check the S113E template against your wheel first.
- Park brake cables must be sourced separately to match your parking brake setup.
- Keep the rotor’s stainless hardware intact until the rotor is mounted.
- Brake work is safest in the hands of someone trained in brake systems.
