Going fast is cool and all, but what about stopping? Or relying on your OEM brakes to launch your drag car? Or even fitting a 15-inch wheel on the back of your S550? Baer has the answer with their latest SS4+ 2.0 Drag Race (Deep Stage) brake kits. Baer sent us a full front and rear setup for our own project 2018 Mustang, aka Project Goldmember, and we could not wait to get these installed.
Smaller, Lighter, and Made to Stop
From first glance, you can tell these calipers are packaged much smaller than the OEM setup and most aftermarket brake systems. That smaller size clears most 15-inch drag wheels, including those with a double beadlock, and it means less weight.
2015+ Mustang OEM brakes range between 30 and 48 lbs per corner depending on whether it is a Performance Pack car. The Baer kit weighs roughly 19 lbs per corner, so you could shave over 80 lbs off the car. Check out the chart below.
The benefits are simple
- Weight savings. Over 80 lbs off the car versus OEM.
- Wheel clearance. Fits most 15-inch drag wheels, including double beadlocks.
- Stopping power. Built for heavy, fast cars.

Built to Last
Those benefits are great, but they do not mean anything if the kit falls apart. These Baer brake systems are made to last: high-grade billet aluminum sourced right here in the USA and assembled with stainless steel hardware. Check out this video from Baer on the S4 caliper included in these kits.
