Alcon BBK, Damn

I apologize if this is a repost. Saw this on my IG. Truck is insane but also it would be so nice to be able to stop that quick in the Raptor. I'm very tempted to order some aftermarket brakes that will fit with the 18's I'm getting

It's been out for a minute according to their site, I checked it out before I bought mine. Specs were to small for me.

So the alcon kit works with factory 17s? I looked at it and it did not mention wheel size. Seems like it works?.

If you look at the size of the rotor in their kit it would seem that it would, I'm not positive maybe a call to them would clear it up.

I can confirm it fits with the stock wheels. It needs a 5mm spacer, which Alcon supplies, in order to fit. An aftermarket 17" wheel with less than stock offset will work too.

We've installed a handful of these Alcon kits, and two of the brembo kits

If you are going with bigger wheels, yeah get bigger brakes as they look better. They won't stop better (not worse either) they would have a bit better heat dissipation due to the larger rotors but that's it.

Would be very similar. This alcon kit seems excessively expensive for what it is... at least give some 2 piece rotors...

I've never run a brembo kit off road, but I've run the Alcons off road. Alcon vs stock is great off road. Alcon vs brembo on the street is very similar. I'd actually say Alcon feels like it stops harder, must be a more aggressive pad. Or the brembo pads work better hot, never had them hot enough to know how they(brembo)feel with heat.

I have actually driven both. Alcon are great with 17" wheels. I don't like the idea of running spacers if you're planning to go offroad.

Brembo are still the best of the best but they're are expensive and you need big wheels.

Brembos are good but I wouldn't call them the 'best of the best'. You are a marketing victim, proof by most of your posts.
