Overview
The Baer Brakes D0731R is a Street 6P front disc brake pad set for Baer Pro and Pro Plus brake systems. It is a replacement pad for 6-piston (6P) calipers, sold as a kit of four pads and listed under FMSI number D731.
Brake pads are the friction material that presses against the rotor to slow the vehicle, so the pad compound shapes how the brakes feel when cold, how much dust they produce and how loud they are. This Baer street pad uses a performance-ceramic compound that gives consistent cold and medium-temperature bite with low dust and noise. It is aimed at daily drivers, spirited weekend driving and mild track days, and it is not intended for extreme-duty racing.
It is a direct fit for Baer 6P calipers, and vehicle-specific fitment is covered in the Vehicle fitment section below.
Key features
- Direct-fit replacement for Baer 6P (6-piston) calipers used in Pro and Pro Plus systems
- Also a replacement for Baer Claw GT systems
- Performance-ceramic compound for consistent cold and medium-temperature bite
- Low dust and low noise levels in light to moderate stopping conditions
- Street pad type for daily driving, spirited weekend use and mild track days
- Slotted face design with a black backing plate
- Each set includes four pads, sold in axle sets
Choosing a street pad
A street pad is a compromise between bite, noise, dust and pad life. Ceramic compounds tend to run quietly and produce less dust, but they need to reach a useful temperature before they bite fully, so they suit everyday driving better than hard racing use.
Before buying, confirm the caliper family and piston count. Six-piston calipers use a different pad shape and abutment layout than smaller calipers, so a pad that looks similar may not seat correctly. Replacing both pads on an axle together keeps braking balanced.
Keep the rotor in mind too. Pads bed in best on a clean, flat disc, so measure rotor thickness and check for runout or heat damage before fitting. Bed in new pads with several moderate stops to transfer an even layer of friction material.
- Confirm the caliper family and piston count
- Replace pads in axle pairs
- Measure rotors before fitting
- Bed in new pads with moderate stops

Vehicle fitment
Match your caliper type and the cross-reference numbers HB247 and DR731 before ordering.
This pad is not identified for a specific year, make, model or trim, so do not assume a vehicle fits from the caliper name alone. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Abutment clips, bolts, mounting hardware, pad shims, pad wear sensors and brake lubricant are not included, so check whether your caliper setup needs any of them before installation. The stainless abutment and noise-suppression hardware is sold separately. Because brake pads are friction parts, replace both pads on an axle together so braking stays balanced from side to side.
What’s included
Each set includes four brake pads, sold in axle sets.
Not included: abutment clips, bolts, mounting hardware, pad shims, pad wear sensors and brake lubricant. Four pad abutments and noise-suppression hardware are sold separately.
