Keep Your 15-inch Billet Wheels and Upgrade Those Brakes

Are you old school? Do you want to keep your OG billet 15-inch sport-style truck wheels? It’s all possible now thanks to the partnership of Pro Performance and Baer Brakes with their all new 1150Kit. In an era where bigger is better, there’s a retro movement lurking below the surface—upgraded braking and performance with old-school looks. We all love the timeless styling and mechanical simplicity of the OBS platform but performance braking is not high on the list. Now there’s a simple solution.

Specifically designed to work with 15-inch wheels, the kit includes drilled and slotted front and rear rotors, pads, four flex lines, rear calipers, and mounting brackets. Additional recommended parts are rear axles seals, gear lube, front calipers, wheel bearings, and seals.

Installation is relatively straightforward using basic hand tools. It does require removing the rear axles to disassemble the original brake drum backing plates, but then it’s simply a matter reinstalling the axles and the new rear caliper brackets, rotor, and caliper loaded with the new pads. New stainless steel flex lines are included with all the necessary mounting hardware. The front is as simple as replacing the front rotors and pads. Wheel bearings and calipers can be replaced as required.

Upgrade your brakes, retain your cool wheels, and keep on truckin’!
