Get rid of your braking system headaches with

a quartet of Baer binders from Roadster Shop

and uses the DR1 or HB100 pad.

The decision to go with the SS4+

11-inch disc brakes was based on

having a good street/strip brake

that would accommodate a 15-inch

wheel if the owner so chose. These

are handsome disc brakes that look

sharp through the spokes of any

high-performance wheel out there. We

like that Baer offers these four-piston

calipers in a huge variety of colors for

nearly any application. Calipers, brake

pads, rotors, billet aluminum hubs with

premium bearings, billet dust caps,

brackets, stainless braided brake

hoses, and mounting hardware are all

included. CHP

B

raking technology has come such a long way when you consider the way
things were just three decades ago. It used to be all you had to rely on were
factory disc brakes copped from a salvage yard along with a caliper rebuild kit,
rotors, and pads if you could afford them. Fast forward 30 years to the new age
of Baer and a large cross section of braking systems for vintage and late-model
rides alike.
Before you is a cool Roadster Shop Revo IFS chassis nestled beneath a
pristine 1956 Chevy restomod body. This thing is ready for cruising except for
one important detail: the brakes. What this high-tech chassis lacks is a killer set
of binders. When you order a Roadster Shop Revo IFS chassis for your Tri-Five
Chevy, you can go with virtually any kind of aftermarket or OEM disc brake
imaginable.
Roadster Shop has provided us with Baer 11-inch SS4+ disc brakes (PN
4301535 front and PN 4262705 rear), which do the job well and will fit within
even the smallest of wheels, down to 15-inches. The Baer SS4+ system
features four-piston S4 calipers flanking one-piece 11-inch slotted and drilled
zinc-plated rotors. Baer’s S4 caliper has DOT-compliant dust and weather seals
