The Baer Big Claw kit pairs a set of larger than stock diameter rotors, purpose cast with directional cooling vanes, with new caliper relocation brackets that move the factory calipers outward to suit the larger rotor while keeping the original pads and hardware. Independent third party testing showed up to a 49 percent gain in braking effectiveness and as much as a 200 degree reduction in rotor temperature against the factory rotor in extreme conditions. This listing is Baer part number 2142012 for Jeep Wrangler JL/20-25 Gladiator JT.

This listing covers Baer part number 2142012. Vehicles outside the years, engines and drivetrains listed above use a different Baer part number.
Because of the number of wheel companies and styles on the market, Baer cannot guarantee that the larger Big Claw rotor will clear a specific wheel. Baer supplies a printable template for each system, and it should be compared against the wheel you plan to run, including the spare.

Baer Brakes has engineered and built high performance brake systems in Phoenix, Arizona since 1994. The company designs its own calipers, casts its own rotors and assembles complete systems in house, which is why Baer hardware is a common choice for muscle cars, trucks and modern performance vehicles that need more brake than the factory supplied.
2142012 is the Baer Brakes part number for this brake rotor set. Ordering by that number is the only way to be certain you are getting this exact item, because listings that only describe the product can cover several different part numbers.
Will the Big Claw rotors clear my wheels?Because of the number of wheel styles on the market Baer cannot guarantee clearance with a specific wheel. Baer publishes a printable template for each system, and the correct way to check is to compare that template against the wheel you intend to run, including the spare.
Do I keep my factory calipers and pads?Yes. The relocation brackets move the factory caliper outward to suit the larger rotor, so the original caliper, pads and hardware are reused.
Does this kit need brake lines or bleeding?No line change is required and the hydraulic system is not opened, so no bleeding is needed unless a hose is disturbed during the install.
Is this sold as one rotor or a pair?Part number 2142012 is a pair of rotors for one axle. If you are refreshing both ends of the car you need the matching front and rear part numbers.
Can I use my existing pads?You can, but fresh pads bed to a fresh rotor far better. Reusing pads that were worn against the old rotor leaves an uneven contact pattern and can cause noise or vibration.
Is this the genuine Baer Brakes part or a copy?This is genuine Baer Brakes product sold new in the manufacturer packaging under part number 2142012. It is not a reproduction or a superseded number.
Does this part come with a warranty?Warranty is handled under the Baer Brakes consumer warranty that applies to part number 2142012 at the time of purchase. Keep your order confirmation, because warranty claims are processed against the original purchase record.
Will you confirm fitment before it ships?Send us the year, make, model, engine and drivetrain of the vehicle along with part number 2142012 and we will check the application against the manufacturer data before the order goes out.
How quickly does this ship?Orders normally leave the warehouse within one to three business days once the order is verified. If part number 2142012 is on factory backorder we will tell you before charging the order.
