Overview
The Baer Brakes 4301406GB is a Track4 front brake kit in Grabber Blue for GM G-Body cars and GM S10 and S15 Blazer and pickup trucks. It combines a 4-piston T4 caliper with a 13-inch, 1-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor, and the hubs come with premium bearings already installed. The kit is made in Phoenix, Arizona.
Grabber Blue is the finish on this version, and the design targets 17-inch and larger wheels. The caliper uses stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips, and the pistons are staggered to reduce uneven pad wear.
Key features
- Powder coated T4 caliper in Grabber Blue, with four pistons
- 1-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated 13-inch rotor, 1.1 inch thick
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered piston layout to help even out pad wear
- Dual seals against dust, weather and pressure
- Billet aluminum hubs, billet dust caps and steel braided hoses in the kit
Pads and wear patterns
Front pads wear fastest on the inner pad in many setups, and the staggered piston layout is intended to even that out. Uneven pad wear can still come from a sticking slide pin, a seized piston or a worn hub bearing, so a pad change is a good time to inspect those parts. Grease the slide pins as recommended for the caliper design and replace any boots that have split.
Pad choice matters as much as the caliper. A pad that is too hard can reduce bite when cold, and one that is too soft can fade on long descents. Match the pad to how the truck is driven, and avoid mixing pad compounds across the front axle so braking stays balanced from side to side.
- Inspect slide pins during each pad change
- Replace split boots before they fill with grit
- Keep pad compounds matched across both front wheels
