Brake Upgrade Kits & Performance Calipers

Braking performance is the most important safety-critical system on any performance vehicle. A car that goes fast needs to stop equally fast — and the original drum brakes fitted to most classic American vehicles are simply not adequate for a vehicle producing modern power levels, carrying heavy components, and operating at the speeds that performance upgrades enable. A quality disc brake upgrade kit transforms braking performance, provides dramatically improved fade resistance under repeated hard stops, and gives the driver the confident, progressive braking that modern driving demands.

This is our largest collection with nearly 3,700 products, dominated by the comprehensive Baer Brake Systems range — one of the most respected names in American performance braking. Baer's multi-piston caliper systems are used extensively in both street performance and track day applications, and their quality of engineering and manufacturing is reflected in a product that outperforms competitors in both initial stopping power and fade resistance under sustained use.

Disc Brake Conversion Kits — The Essential Upgrade

Converting a classic vehicle from drum to disc brakes at one or both axles is one of the most transformative safety upgrades available for any vintage American vehicle. Factory drum brakes — particularly rear drums — suffer from severe fade under repeated use, are prone to locking under hard application, and provide a vague, difficult-to-modulate pedal feel compared to the progressive, consistent pedal of a well-designed disc system. A complete conversion kit includes all the components required for a clean, correctly engineered installation: caliper, rotor, hardware, and any required brackets or spacers for your specific application.

Baer Performance Brake Systems

Baer's tiered performance brake system range — SS4, SS4+, Pro, Pro+, Extreme, Extreme+, and Track systems — allows selection of the appropriate specification for the application, from a daily-driven street car requiring dependable performance in normal use through to dedicated track day and competition vehicles where maximum fade resistance and braking force under sustained hard use are the priority. Each tier upgrades the caliper specification, rotor size, and pad compound to deliver performance appropriate to the intended application.

Classic Series Brake Kits

The Classic Series brake kits provide a period-appropriate upgrade solution for vintage American vehicles where a clean, factory-correct appearance is as important as improved braking performance. These kits deliver the performance advantages of modern disc brake engineering while maintaining compatibility with the factory wheel fitment and suspension geometry of classic vehicles — a critical consideration for show cars and resto-mods where correct appearance is a priority alongside function.
