2021 Roush/Alcon Brake Kit Install Experience on 2020 gen 2

[Zeusmotorworks]

the wilwood kit doesn't work with oem 17" beadlocks. that's why I went with alcons.

Ah, I had not confirmed this anywhere, and this is most disappointing!!!!!!

Am I to assume that GEN 2 (mine) and Gen 3 beadlock’s have the same clearance? Or lack there of?

I was leaning towards the wilwood kit because of the price, but after doing some basic fitment check, I went with ebay roush alcons.

based on the kit dimensions, it needed at least 10mm more clearance with the caliper edge and face.

also spoke with wilwood to confirm the dims I used to build and cut the template.
the engineer I spoke with also indirectly stated that the kit was not designed to work with oem 17" wheels.

I'm using 2017 beadlock wheels with beadlock rings on my 2020.

Shame… guess it’s time to start a Hawk pad campaign. But then there is still the $1k plus set of rotors!

Only wheels I would be interested in are some of Methods +25 bead grips. I refuse to do some zero offset or other some shit that could possibly fu<k up my fenders and liners under full compression. However, I have no more confirmation those will work than I did with the Gen 2 OE beadlock ready.

Yeah but how often do you need to replace the rotors? 80k miles? 100k?

Guess it depends on how aggressive the pads are…

I have hard time ditching OEM bead lock wheels as well.

I’ve never really been a fan of the aesthetics of OE wheels but dig the 2019-2020 beadlock ready.

You could probably just run a spacer with the OE wheels and the Wilwoods.... the Alcons come with a 7mm spacer.

I’m running the Alcons with no spacer. It’s close… I have issue with spacers that are not hub centric, bolt on. Even then it’s a bandaid.
