Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262263FR is a complete SS4 Plus 13.0 inch rear disc brake kit for Ford 9 Inch Torino (Late Big) bearing housing ends, with a Fire Red caliper finish. Each kit uses a 4-piston S4 caliper clamping a 13 inch, 2-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor, giving a complete rear brake package in one part number.
Baer designed the kit for 5×4.50/5×4.75 bolt patterns on Ford 9 inch rear axles with Torino or late big bearing housing ends. The rotors come pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware, and the Baer backing plate both mounts the caliper and houses a 1-piece park brake shoe assembly. Stainless braided hoses and hardware complete the package.
Key features
- 4-piston S4 caliper, fixed type, with hard anodized aluminum pistons and stainless steel abutments
- 13.0 inch vented 2-piece rotor, slotted, drilled and zinc plated, with billet aluminum hat
- Dual seals rated for dust, weather and pressure
- Caliper machined from forged or billet aluminum and finished with powder coating
- Backing plate that mounts the caliper and carries the 1-piece park brake shoe assembly
- Stainless braided brake hoses with DOT approval
Why the wheel check matters
Wheel clearance is the first thing to settle with any rear disc kit. The rotor and caliper sit behind the wheel, and a wheel with a deep dish, a short backspacing or a worn bearing can leave little room. Trial fitting the template against the actual wheel and tire shows whether the caliper body clears the spokes and whether the rotor hat sits flat against the hub face.
A complete kit can still fail to suit a particular setup if the wheel is not checked, so treat the template as a required step rather than an option. Record any contact marks during the trial, then correct spacers, offset or wheel choice before the lug nuts are torqued. Brake fluid and hose routing should be checked once the calipers are in place, and a qualified installer can confirm final clearance after the first few drives.
- Test fit the template before buying wheels
- Check caliper clearance against each spoke
- Confirm the hub face sits flat against the rotor hat

Vehicle fitment
No make, model or model years are given for this kit. Its fit is defined by the Ford 9 Inch axle with Torino (Late Big) bearing housing ends, which names an axle, not a vehicle. Compare the S135H template and axle flange with your rear end before buying.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Because the park brake shoe assembly sits in the backing plate, plan the mounting order around it. Baer does not guarantee fit with every wheel design, so test the S135H template against your chosen wheel first. Brake work is safety critical, so a qualified installer should handle the mounting and bleeding.
What’s included
Pre-assembled 13.0 inch rotors with NAS high grade stainless hardware, S4 calipers, the Baer backing plate with 1-piece park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with hardware.
