Overview
The Baer Brakes 4301406MG is a Track4 front disc brake kit in Monster Green for GM G-Body cars and GM S10 and S15 Blazer and pickup trucks. It uses a 4-piston T4 caliper on a 13-inch, 1-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor, and the billet hubs and stock height spindles come pre-assembled. The kit is made in Phoenix, Arizona.
The Track4 is meant for wheels that are 17 inches or larger, which matches the minimum wheel diameter Baer lists. Stainless steel pistons and staggered pistons are included, and the staggered layout is intended to minimize uneven pad wear.
Key features
- 4-piston T4 caliper with powder coated finish, made in Phoenix, Arizona
- 1-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated 13-inch rotor, 1.1 inch thick
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons designed to minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- Billet aluminum hubs, billet dust caps and steel braided hoses included
Track4 wheel and rotor considerations
A larger rotor and a wheel of 17 inches or more change the leverage and heat load on the front brakes, so the wheel and tire package matters as much as the caliper. Tire diameter and offset affect clearance around the caliper body, and a tire that rubs at full steering lock can damage the caliper or hose. Measuring clearance with the tire mounted at full lock is the simplest check before driving.
Heavier wheels and larger tires also raise unsprung weight, which can make steering and braking feel different on rough roads. Stainless pistons and a staggered layout are meant to keep the pads wearing evenly, but uneven wear can still come from a sticking slide pin or a worn hub bearing. Inspecting those parts during pad changes helps the system wear evenly.
- Measure caliper clearance with the tire mounted at full steering lock
- Check hub bearings for play during pad changes
- Inspect braided hoses where they clear the suspension
