Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262263HO is an SS4 Plus brake kit finished in Hugger Orange, with a 4-piston S4 caliper clamping a 13 inch two-piece rotor. It fits Ford 9 Inch Torino (Late Big) bearing housing ends with 5×4.50/5×4.75 wheel bolts.
A one-piece park brake shoe assembly sits in the backing plate, which also carries the caliper. The kit uses DR1-C pads. Rotor hardware is NAS high grade stainless and comes pre-assembled. Braided hoses are included. The rotor suits most 17 inch or larger wheels, but fit to every wheel style cannot be assured, so a template comparison comes before mounting.
Key features

- Double seals for dust, weather and pressure
- Two-piece rotor with slotted, drilled, zinc plated friction surfaces
- Billet aluminum rotor hat
- Rotor hardware pre-assembled in NAS high grade stainless
- Braided brake hoses included
Before you install
Rear disc kits change more than the brake. The caliper bracket, rotor hat and wheel studs all have to line up with the axle before the wheel can seat properly. Check the bearing housing ends and bolt pattern first, then the wheel’s backspacing and offset, since a larger rotor can reduce clearance on the inner barrel. Heat from repeated stops can also wear caliper finish, so plan any touch-ups around the mounting work rather than after it.
Brake hoses, pads and rotors are usually replaced as a set when the system is upgraded, which keeps pedal feel predictable. Look at the rotor surface for heat cracks and grooves, and measure thickness against the minimum cast into it before reusing one. Bleed the hydraulic system after any hose change, and check the pads at the first service and after the first few trail runs.
- Check backspacing before buying wheels
- Replace pads and rotors as a matched set
- Bleed the system after any hose change

Vehicle fitment
Fitment is set by the axle flange: Ford 9 Inch Torino (Late Big) bearing housing ends, a 5×4.50/5×4.75 bolt pattern and a 17.0 inch minimum wheel diameter. Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering, and confirm wheel clearance with the S135H template.
Axle flange names do not establish a model or year range, so no vehicles are claimed here. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Because the park brake cables are not included, the parking brake needs cables sourced separately if your setup does not already have them. Pre-assembled rotor hardware means the rotors go on without sorting loose parts. Caliper mounting and hydraulic work should be done by a technician experienced with rear disc brakes.
What’s included
Included: the S4 4-piston caliper in Hugger Orange, the backing plate with park brake shoe assembly, the two-piece rotor, braided brake hoses, and the rotor hardware.
Not included: park brake cables.
