Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262265CY is an SS4 Plus rear brake system kit in Comp Yellow, built for rear ends with Ford 9 Inch Torino (Late Big) bearing housing ends and a 5×5.00 wheel bolt pattern. It combines an S4 four-piston caliper with a 13.0 inch, two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor, and it is sold as a complete kit.
Baer’s backing plate acts as the caliper mount and also houses a one-piece park brake shoe assembly, so the park brake is part of the same unit. Rotors arrive pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware, and stainless braided hoses and hardware are included. The kit suits wheels 17 inch or larger, with a minimum wheel diameter of 17.0 inch. Because wheel styles vary widely, Baer does not guarantee fit into a specific wheel and recommends checking the template against the wheel you plan to run.
Key features
- S4 four-piston caliper with hard anodized aluminum pistons and stainless steel abutments
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- Two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated 13.0 inch vented rotor with billet aluminum hat
- CNC machined from US sourced forged or billet aluminum with a powder coated finish
- Noise suppression clips included with the caliper hardware
- Integrated one-piece park brake shoe assembly in the backing plate
- Steel braided brake hose, DOT approved
Matching the axle first
A rear brake kit only works when the axle housing ends match the kit’s axle flange, so the axle comes before any other choice. Compare the flange type and the wheel bolt pattern with what is under the vehicle before ordering. Bearing housing ends differ between axle generations, so a visual check of the housing ends and a measurement of the bolt pattern are worth doing. Rear discs also depend on the caliper mount sitting square to the axle tube, which is why the backing plate matters during installation.
Brake hoses and park brake parts are often replaced together with a rear disc conversion. Old drum parts, lines and cables can interfere with the new backing plate, so inspect them when the kit is fitted. Old rotors and pads that show heavy scoring or uneven wear are reasons to replace the matching hardware at the same time. Bleed the hydraulic system once the lines are connected, and keep the braided hose ends free of kinks.

Vehicle fitment
It is meant for rear ends with those bearing housing ends, identified by its axle flange, Ford 9 Inch Torino/Late Big Bearing, and its 5×5.00 bolt pattern.
Installation notes
Check clearance with the S135H template against your chosen wheel before mounting, because the minimum wheel diameter is 17.0 inch. The park brake shoe assembly is housed in the backing plate, but park brake cables are not included, so plan that setup separately. Have the kit installed by a qualified technician.
