Overview
The Baer Brakes D0412R is a front street brake pad set for early Baer SS, Sport and Track front systems that use a PGC 2-piston caliper. It is a ceramic performance pad sold as a set of four, cross-referenced to HB111, DR412 and FMSI D412.
The pad belongs to Baer’s Pbr 2-Piston series and has slots across its face for front systems. The ceramic compound gives good initial bite at low to moderate operating temperatures and suits daily drivers, weekend drivers and mild track use. It is not intended for severe operating conditions.
Key features
- Slotted front pad for Pbr 2-Piston systems
- Ceramic friction material with Performance grade
- Smooth stopping in light to moderate conditions with low noise and dust
- Front axle replacement pad sold in axle sets
- Designed for early Baer SS, Sport and Track front systems
Slotted pads explained
Slotted front pads have grooves across the friction face, which are meant to help clear gas and debris from between the pad and rotor. Ceramic material suits quiet street braking, and the slotted pattern gives a different feel than a non-slotted pad. Pads for front systems carry more braking load, so matching the caliper type matters most.
A pad change is a good time to inspect the front rotors. Look for deep scoring, heat cracks or thickness below the stamped minimum, since a worn surface can cause pulsing or chatter. Clean the caliper bracket, check the slide pins for free movement, and bed in the new pads with moderate stops before relying on them for firm braking.
- Confirm the PGC 2-piston caliper before buying
- Inspect front rotors when fitting pads
- Check caliper slide pins for free movement
- Replace pads in axle sets for even braking
