Overview
The Baer Brakes Track4 front disc brake kit, part number 4301406CY in Comp Yellow, is built for GM G-Body cars and for GM S10/S15 pickups and Blazer/Jimmy 2WD models. Its 4-piston T4 caliper clamps a 13-inch, 1-piece slot, drill, zinc plated rotor, and the billet hubs come assembled on stock height spindles.
The applications are 78-88 GM G-Body, 82-04 GM S10/S15 pickups 2WD and 83-97 GM S10/S15 Blazer/Jimmy 2WD. Wheel fit cannot be guaranteed across every wheel style and manufacturer, so compare the wheel you plan to use against the Q082H template.

Keeping the front brakes in service
Front pads wear faster than rear pads on most trucks, so the pad material and rotor surface deserve regular checks. A slotted, drilled rotor sheds some heat and gas, but the pad face still needs to be flat and free of glazing for smooth stops. Look at the pad thickness through the wheel opening every time the tires come off.
Rotor wear shows up as a pulsing pedal or a lip at the outer edge of the rotor face. Warped or thin rotors should be replaced rather than machined past their minimum thickness. Keep the caliper slide pins clean and lubricated so the pads release evenly.
- Check pad thickness at every tire rotation
- Replace rotors that show a lip or pulsing
- Clean and lubricate caliper slide pins

Installation notes
Because the spindles ship on the kit at stock height, the front hub and spindle assembly is part of the purchase and is not a separate bolt-on step. Check the wheel against template Q082H, and keep 17.0 inch as the smallest wheel you consider. Brakes are safety equipment, so test the pedal before normal road use.
What’s included
The kit includes the Track4 T4 caliper, the 13-inch rotor, billet hubs with bearings and dust caps on assembled stock height spindles, mounting brackets, stainless braided hoses and hardware.
