Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262325GB is a Grabber Blue, 11.0 inch rear SS4 Plus disc brake kit built for Ford 9 inch Torino (late big) bearing housing ends. A four-piston S4 caliper clamps a vented, two-piece slotted rotor, and the system uses the DR1-C pad type.
Mounting brackets come with the kit, along with stainless braided hoses and hardware. The rotors come with NAS high grade stainless hardware already installed, and the rotor hat is billet aluminum. The kit uses a 5×4.50/5×4.75 inch wheel bolt pattern, and the SS4 Plus suits wheels 15 inches and larger, with a 15.0 inch minimum wheel diameter. Use template S125A to check your wheel before installation.
Key features
- Four-piston S4 caliper finished in Grabber Blue powder coat
- Hard anodized aluminum pistons with noise suppression clips
- Stainless steel abutments for the pistons
- Dual dust, weather and pressure seals
- Slotted, drilled, zinc-plated two-piece rotor on a billet aluminum hat
- Steel braided brake hoses rated DOT approved
- Caliper CNC machined from US sourced forged or billet aluminum
Before you buy
Choosing a rear disc kit starts with the axle. The flange, bolt pattern and hub face determine whether the rotor sits square and whether the caliper can be mounted without modification, so the axle should be measured before anything is ordered. Wheel clearance matters too, since the caliper and rotor occupy space behind the spokes, and a wheel that clears the stock brakes may not clear a larger assembly.
Expect to replace some related parts when the brakes are upgraded. Rear wheel bearings, the axle seal and the brake lines are commonly checked during the same job, and fresh pads help during the first bed-in period. Keep a record of which components were replaced and when, which makes later service easier.
- Measure the axle flange before ordering
- Check wheel clearance around the caliper and rotor
- Inspect wheel bearings and axle seals during installation
- Plan the parking brake setup in advance

Vehicle fitment
The kit is built for the Ford 9 inch Torino (late big) bearing axle, identified by axle flange rather than model year, with a 5×4.50/5×4.75 inch bolt pattern. Compare that with your axle and use template S125A.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
No park brake is included, and park brake cables are not part of this kit. Because the rotors come pre-assembled, check wheel clearance with template S125A before the rotors are installed. Stainless braided hoses are supplied for the caliper connections.
What’s included
The four-piston S4 caliper system with 11.0 inch rotors, mounting brackets, stainless braided hoses and hardware. A park brake shoe assembly is not part of the kit.
