20th Oct 2025
When it comes to building a vehicle that not only accelerates hard but stops just as confidently, Baer Brakes is a brand you should know. With decades in high-performance braking systems, Baer has become a go-to for enthusiasts who demand serious stopping power, track-capable durability, and show-worthy aesthetics.

Why Choose Baer Brakes
-
Performance-Focused Engineering: Baer emphasizes innovative brake system designs meant to extract maximum stopping force while maintaining durability.
-
Made in the USA: Much of their manufacturing — calipers, finish, machining — is done in Phoenix, Arizona, using domestic materials and in-house processes.
-
Wide Vehicle Compatibility: From classic muscle cars to modern performance builds and trucks, Baer offers kits and components for many kinds of builds.
-
Custom Aesthetics & Finishes: Beyond braking performance, Baer offers custom caliper colours, logo machining, and powder-coated finishes that ensure the braking system looks as good as it performs.
Key Baer Brakes Upgrades to Consider
-
Big Brake Kits: Ideal for high-power builds and track use, these kits offer large rotors, multi-piston calipers, and improved thermal capacity.
-
Drilled & Slotted Rotors: Enhances heat dissipation and maintains braking performance under stress.
-
Brake Pad Upgrades: Designed to pair with the higher-end kits or serve as a meaningful step-up for street builds.
-
Disc Brake Conversion Systems: For older or classic vehicles originally equipped with drum brakes, Baer offers full conversion kits to modern disc setups.
Best Practices for Selecting & Installing Baer Brakes
-
Match the build: If your vehicle spends time on racetracks or you’ve significantly increased power, choose a kit built for high-thermal loads (big brake kits).
-
Wheel fitment matters: Larger rotors need clearance — ensure your wheel size and offset accommodate the brake package.
-
Brake bias & balance: Upgrading the front without matching the rear (or vice versa) can upset balance. Consider full-kit solutions.
-
Cooling & airflow: High performance braking generates heat — ensure your build has some airflow, ducting, or venting to help rotors stay in optimum temperature range.
-
Aesthetic customization: Take advantage of Baer’s custom colour and logo options if you want the brakes to be a visual statement as much as a performance upgrade.
