Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262263CY is a complete SS4 Plus rear disc brake kit with a 13.0 inch vented rotor and a four-piston S4 caliper finished in Comp Yellow. Baer names it for Ford 9 inch rear ends with the Torino (late big) bearing axle flange and a 5×4.50/5×4.75 wheel bolt pattern.
The backing plate serves as the caliper mount and houses a one-piece park brake shoe assembly, so one kit covers the service brake and parking brake hardware. Braided hoses that are DOT approved and NAS high grade stainless hardware are included. The grade type is Performance.
Key features
- Four-piston S4 caliper with hard anodized aluminum pistons, stainless steel abutments and noise suppression clips.
- Two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor paired with a billet aluminum hat.
- Dual seals guard against dust, weather and pressure.
- Powder coated finish in Comp Yellow.
- CNC machined from US sourced forged or billet aluminum; caliper manufactured in Phoenix, AZ.
- Backing plate houses the one-piece park brake shoe assembly.
- Braided brake hoses are DOT approved.
Choosing the right setup
A rear disc conversion changes how the parking brake works, so decide early how the cables will be routed and mounted. Many owners pair new rear rotors with fresh pads, a brake fluid flush and inspected hard lines, because these parts wear together and old fluid or a worn line can undermine a new caliper. Check hub and bearing condition before fitting, since rotor runout is easier to correct before the wheel goes back on.
Pad compound should match how the vehicle is driven. Street use, trail use and towing place different heat loads on the rotor, so choose a pad that suits the expected load. Keep the rotor and pad pairing consistent, and bed in new pads with a series of gradual stops.
- Park brake cable routing and mounting
- Brake fluid condition before the first drive
- Hub and wheel bearing play
- Braided hose routing clear of moving parts
- Wheel clearance around the caliper

Vehicle fitment
The kit is built for Ford 9 inch rear axles with the Torino (late big) bearing axle flange. Wheel fit is not guaranteed for every wheel style, so compare the S135H template to the wheel you plan to use.
Check your rear axle flange against the Torino (late big) bearing description, not the early big bearing style. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Park brake cables are not included, so plan to source cables separately for the parking brake. Check wheel clearance with the S135H template before mounting the rotors. The rotors come pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware. Rear brake work should be checked by a technician familiar with disc conversions before the vehicle is driven on public roads.
What’s included
The kit includes the Comp Yellow S4 caliper, two-piece rotors pre-assembled with stainless hardware, the backing plate with its one-piece park brake shoe assembly, and braided hoses with hardware.
Not included: park brake cables.
