Overview
The Baer Brakes Track4 4301618FR is a Fire Red front disc brake kit built around a T4 four-piston caliper, made for 2WD Chevrolet and GMC C1500 trucks and SUVs. It fits the 1988 to 1998 C1500 trucks and the 1992 to 1999 Suburban and Yukon models, plus the 1995 to 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe.
This kit uses a 13 inch one-piece rotor, slotted, drilled and zinc plated, with D0749 pads. The billet aluminum hubs ship with bearings already assembled and packed with Redline synthetic grease, and the T4 caliper is made in Phoenix, Arizona. It suits wheels of 17 inch or larger.
Key features
- Fire Red powder coated T4 caliper with four pistons

- Stainless steel pistons and noise suppression clips
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure, T compliant
- Billet aluminum hubs with billet dust caps
- Stainless braided hoses, DOT approved
- One-piece slotted, drilled, zinc plated rotor
- D0749 brake pad type
Things to check before installing
Before the wheels come off, look over the rest of the front end. Ball joints, tie rods, wheel bearings and the brake lines all work together with the new caliper and hub, and worn parts in those areas will show up as steering looseness or uneven braking. Replacing a tired component while the front is apart is usually less work than doing it later.
Once the system is back together, bed in the new pads with a series of moderate stops before any hard braking. Recheck the caliper bolts and wheel lug nuts after the first few drives, and confirm the brake pedal feels firm. Tire condition and alignment also influence how evenly the pads wear over time.
- Inspect ball joints, tie rods and wheel bearings
- Check brake lines for routing and chafing
- Bed in new pads with moderate stops
- Recheck caliper bolts and lug nuts after early drives
