Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262262GB is a rear disc brake kit from the SS4 Plus line, finished in Grabber Blue. Its 13.0 inch vented rotor and four-piston S4 caliper are matched to Ford 9 inch rear ends with the early big bearing axle flange and a 5×5.00 wheel bolt pattern.
Baer packages the rotor, caliper, backing plate and park brake hardware together so that they work as a single system. The rotor carries a billet aluminum hat and a slotted, drilled, zinc-plated surface, and the hoses are braided with DOT approval.
Key features
- Four-piston S4 caliper with hard anodized aluminum pistons and noise suppression clips.
- Slotted, drilled and zinc-plated two-piece rotor with a billet aluminum hat.
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure.
- Powder coated Grabber Blue finish.
- Braided brake hoses approved to DOT standard.
- Backing plate houses a one-piece park brake shoe assembly.
- Pre-assembled rotors with NAS high grade stainless hardware.
Rotor and pad wear
Slotted and drilled rotors help shed gas and debris, but the holes and slots also create edges that can crack under heat if the brakes are abused. Check the rotor face for cracks around the drilled holes and at the slot edges during each service. Measure rotor thickness with a micrometer and compare it to the minimum thickness marked on the rotor.
Pad wear is the first sign to watch. Uneven wear often points to a sticking caliper or a damaged slide pin rather than the pads themselves. Bed in new pads with a series of moderate stops before hard use, and replace rotors and pads in matched sets when you can to keep braking even.
- Look for cracks around drilled holes and slots
- Check for a pulsing pedal or steering wheel shake
- Measure rotor thickness at several points
- Replace pads and rotors together when wear is uneven
- Inspect hubs for loose or worn bearings

Vehicle fitment
The kit is matched to the Ford 9 inch early big bearing axle flange and a 5×5.00 bolt pattern. These are the rear-end details to match before fitting the kit.
Because wheel fit can’t be guaranteed across every style, compare the S135H template to the wheel of your choice.
Check the rear axle for the early big bearing flange before fitting. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Park brake cables are not included, so they must be sourced separately. Check wheel clearance with the S135H template before mounting. Rotors arrive pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware.
Have a shop familiar with rear disc brake work confirm the park brake adjustment before the vehicle is driven.
What’s included
The kit includes the Grabber Blue S4 caliper, two-piece slotted, drilled rotors with stainless hardware, the backing plate with its park brake shoe assembly, and braided hoses with hardware.
Not included: park brake cables.
