Overview
The Baer Brakes 4301512S is a Track4 front brake system for 2WD Chevrolet C10 trucks and related GMC models from 1960 to 1986. It is made for use on CPP 2.5 inch drop spindles, which are not included. The kit has a silver 4-piston T4 caliper on a 13.0 inch, 1-piece slotted, drilled rotor with a 5 lug, 5×5.00 bolt pattern.
Billet aluminum hubs come assembled with premium bearings packed in Redline synthetic grease, along with billet dust caps. Steel braided hoses are DOT approved. Baer designed the Track4 for wheels 17 inch or larger, and the minimum wheel diameter is 17.0 inch.
Key features
- 4-piston T4 caliper in silver, powder coated
- Stainless pistons with noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons reduce uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- 1-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor
- Billet aluminum hubs with premium bearings and billet dust caps
- Steel braided hoses, DOT approved
Spindle compatibility
A Track4 conversion is only as good as the spindle it bolts to. Because the CPP 2.5 inch drop modular spindles are a separate purchase, confirm they are in place and in good condition before starting the install. Mismatched spindles can throw off hub alignment and make the rotor and caliper sit incorrectly.
Older trucks often show wear in the front end, including worn ball joints, tie rod ends and wheel bearings. Replacing these parts while the front end is apart is practical, since the hubs and rotors are already off. Check the steering geometry after the new system is installed, because a change in ride height can shift alignment settings.
Brake lines, the master cylinder and the proportioning arrangement should be inspected as part of the same job. Bleeding the system fully removes air, which keeps pedal firmness consistent once the truck is back on the road.
- Confirm spindle type before ordering the brake kit
- Inspect ball joints and tie rod ends
- Re-check alignment after a ride height change
