There’s an old saying we just made up: “A car that won’t start will cost you a race, but a car that won’t stop will cost you your life.” With the rise of heavier, more street-oriented drag cars, and the fact that they’re getting quicker and quicker, traditional “race” brake systems have been stretched to their limit and beyond. That’s where Baer Brake Systems [2] has really come through, with their SS4+ setup designed for the fast, heavy cars that have soared in popularity lately.
Baer’s calipers are DOT-compliant, with stainless pistons that transfer less heat than aluminum, deep bores incorporating road-worthy dust seals, and square shoulder seals for minimum drag and maximum retraction with no need for residual pressure valves.
[3]In addition to a direct, no-adapter fit to the factory style spindle for many popular cars, road-spec SS4+ kits feature application-specific hardware and hoses as well as a street-friendly pad compound.
[4]Baer's dual rear kit shares the same mounting bracket with the single caliper version, so upgrading to a staging brake setup later is easy and less expensive.

Racers with TRZ Motorsports front spindles can now get a Baer setup designed as a direct bolt-on.
Street users can also specify rear SS4 systems with an integrated parking brake inside the rotor, and Baer’s patent-pending VeriSlide technology that expands available applications to include OE C-clip axles like the Ford 8.8 and GM 10 and 12 bolt.
