This is my third F150. I had v8 hen 3.5 and then the Raptor. All trucks were Lariat package so same trim levels. 1) raptor is the best f150 and I never regret the decision. 2) towing is 2-3 times a year and I purchased a travel trailer which fit my families needs and was not a weight...

I prefer the stock wheel size so i did not have a choice. I have had multiple F150’s with larger wheels and that looked great but to me the Raptor is on 17’s. If I had 18-20’s there would have been a big break kit for sure

I had powerstop on my 2015 lariat and they were pure garbage. The pads and rotors were shit. The lasted maybe 20k miles. I will never recommend or purchase those ever again. They were better than OEM compounds but still lacked. Like I said, I love to go fast but I also like to stop...

I got them from Johnny@Apollo-Optics And I can’t remember the brand.

Just because you find it impossible does not make it not true. I am not a physical or chemical metallurgist and i don't know a single one who tracks cars but none of them buy drilled rotors. Drilled rotors are marketed for looks and "Performance by allowing water an gasses to escape for...

The instructions are pretty straight forward. If you have done brakes before, it is a snap. If you are handy, then you will be able to do the work. You remove the calipers, pull the dusk shield off and add all the new rotors and calipers. The only thing I worried about was the wheel...

I only did the fronts due to 1) Physics, the weight transfer to the front lightens the rears and I did not feel that it would benefit from rears. 2) the rears are part of the stability control and braking for the cruise control and did not want to change the OEM. 3) I felt I could change...

Almost all cars use rear brakes for stability and Traction control. The wife's Range Rover Supercharged w/ Brembo's has had 2 rear changes in 52K miles and 20K of that is Highway. Audi SQ5 has eaten rear brakes due to the kid driving it like it is a track car. I replaced the Rears on the...

Most of the time the brakes are indistinguishable from stock. I did not need to adjust my braking to my daily driving It is those times when you need them is where they shine. Do you need them to be a safe, no. Are they an upgrade which is worth the money one spends on upgrades, yes...

Welcome to the world of OEM. BREMBO partners with many manufactures to provide their equipment as OEM.

Sure did.... The initial readings on these brakes were like 1-2 truck lengths shorter stopping which to me is a massive amount and sold me on the upgrade. The rest is just additional proof and benefit from having better brakes.

When the group buy popped up on the forum for the 6 piston Wilwood which FIT the stock 17' wheels, it was take my money and send them. But now that I have 8 months on this setup: Do I have buyers remorse? Was this just another overpriced upgrade? Would I do it again? These last 2...

Wife filled up the Raptor before our road trip the other day. She was being a great wife and while I was finishing up my presentations, she took the truck to fill it up. Loaded up the truckster and when I looked down, I noticed the fulled tank and was.. "Awesome, you filled the truck!" I...

Not on brakes my friend. Drilled holes are a major source of cracks on heavy break hot/cold cycles and use, I have tossed many of rotors cause of this. Take a look at every major racing series and tell me which ones are running drilled rotors.

I agree for cars that see really high heat at wear from track abuse. Each drilled hole is a source of spider cracking and that is why I will always run a slotted rotor and not drilled.

I do 5-6k on my oil changes on my 19 and I have 56k miles. Please don’t look at my service history because you would find transfer case/diffs changed at 30k, spark plugs at 30k not to mention brake fluid every 2 year and an extra brake fluid change when I put the 6pot wildwoods… SUSPICIOUS!!!

When your #3 in truck sales, your volume is low and a company can “afford” to make sure the vehicles pass rigorous inspections. When you increase your production, the volume will increase the number of chances an issue arises and unfortunately inspections may not be as rigorous due to pressure...

I have had multiple homelinks on multiple brands of cars and different garage openers. The standard instructions work. I sometime has to push hold as then push 3 times in a row for it to work.

They do not make special body panels for a Raptor R. It’s all motor. The cab/doors etc will cost the exact same. The bed/fends will be regular raptor price

I am confused... I have done dozens of track days(not in my raptor)..... 130-150mph down to 50's all weekend. Road America has long straights and heavy breaking zones down hill..... I have never "warped a rotor" no mater how hot or how much I cooled them.... so how are people "warping" rotors...

I assume you are the "co owner" of this "frozen rotor" company and your marketing approach is to lob a post on the forums and have everyone start to search.... You did not post the link to look to obvious especial with your extensive post history.

My past experience is with BMW M3 OEM's(E90 and F80), Brembo (6pot OEM Range Rover Sport), AP Radical 6pots calipers. They all had much thicker walled pistons by 5x-10x thicker. I should not have to worry about heating these up like I would on a track car so i would not expect pistons to...

I received the Brakes today. I am disappointed in on the thickness of the pistons. I have never seen pistons that thin on any set of brakes I have ever done. I guess I will just have to find out the preform and how long they last.

Just run full synthetic 5-6k oil changes and your motor will last. Every turbo car truck I have owned has been that way. Had one opened up at 49k miles and due to manufacture recall on valve guides and the tech thought he opened the wrong motor it was clean as could be

I am interested as well. I have spent many of days at the track and brakes made me faster than Horsepower
