1969–1982 C3 Baer Pro+ FRONT 14″ Drilled & Slotted Brake Kit — Ultimate Stopping Power for Your Classic Corvette

When it comes to upgrading braking performance on your 1969–1982 C3 Corvette, you don’t need ordinary brake parts — you need a system engineered to match the performance heritage of America’s iconic sports car. The Baer Pro+ FRONT 14″ Drilled & Slotted Brake Kit delivers superior braking performance, enhanced heat management, and rock-solid pedal feel — making it one of the most compelling front brake upgrades available for C3 owners today.

Precision Engineered for Classic Corvettes

The Baer Pro+ Front Brake Kit was specifically designed for the C3 Corvette’s unique suspension, wheel clearance, and performance demands. Whether you’re restoring your ride, building a high-performance cruiser, or prepping for occasional track outings, this kit provides massive stopping power while maintaining excellent day-to-day drivability.

With 14″ rotors, this kit significantly increases brake surface area over stock systems, resulting in improved fade resistance and consistent performance under load. Precision CNC-machined surfaces and balanced construction ensure smooth operation and long life.

High-Tech Rotor Design for Maximum Heat Dissipation

One of the standout features of this brake kit is its drilled and slotted rotors:

• Drilled holes help vent gases created under extreme braking, reducing heat buildup and preventing pad glazing.

• Slots continuously sweep the pad surface clean, removing dust and debris while improving bite and response.

• These design elements work together to reduce brake fade — especially on spirited drives or during towing and heavy traffic conditions.

The rotors are also zinc-coated to resist rust and corrosion, keeping your brakes looking sharp even after seasons of use.

Baer Pro+ Calipers — Performance Meets Reliability

At the heart of the system are the Baer Pro+ four-piston brake calipers, engineered for power and precision. These calipers offer:

• Improved clamping force for shorter stopping distances

• Even pad wear thanks to multi-piston design

• Rigid mounting that minimizes flex for sharper brake feel

• High-temperature seals and premium components for lasting performance

The result is confident braking every time you ease into the pedal — whether navigating twisty backroads or stopping from highway speeds.

Premium Brake Pads Included

This kit includes high-performance brake pads designed for both street and occasional track use. Formulated for excellent friction stability, the pads offer:

• Quiet operation with minimal dust

• Smooth initial bite

• Strong performance across a wide temperature range

Unlike cheap replacement pads that fade quickly and leave residue on wheels, Baer’s pads are engineered to complement the Pro+ system for a balanced braking experience.

Complete Upgrade — Everything You Need

This kit is designed as a complete front brake solution — so you won’t need to hunt for add-on parts. In most installations, all necessary hardware is included:

✔ 14″ Drilled & Slotted Zinc-Coated Rotors
✔ Baer Pro+ Four-Piston Calipers
✔ Performance Brake Pads
✔ High-Quality Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines
✔ Mounting Brackets and Installation Hardware

The braided lines improve pedal feel and reduce expansion under pressure, helping you keep a firm, controlled brake application even under heavy use.

Balanced Performance for Street and Track

While this kit is ideal for street performance enthusiasts, it’s also capable in autocross or light track environments. The enhanced cooling and greater pad contact area help resist fade during repeated hard stops — a must for drivers who push their cars beyond stock limits.

Despite its performance bias, the kit is designed for daily driving comfort. The drilled and slotted rotors are engineered to minimize noise and vibration, and the pads are tuned for friendly operation in everyday conditions.

Easy Installation with High Fitment Accuracy

Baer engineers their components with exacting OEM-matched tolerances, delivering a kit that fits right and performs right. Many customers find this kit bolts on with minimal modification, maintaining correct alignment and wheel clearance.

Whether you’re a seasoned DIY mechanic or working with a trusted shop, the install process is straightforward with the included instructions and hardware.
