Picked up my truck yesterday and the feel of these brakes is hands down night and day difference. I haven't really got on them but just driving around town the pedal feel is way more sensitive and responsive. Very happy with them for sure!

Looks good man! I like like the wheels!

Did you weigh the brakes and spacers by chance?

We did a test fit today. We tested the stock wheels (non-beadlock), 17" Method Con6, and new Vorsteiner 17" VenomRex 602 wheels.

All of the wheels tested fit without the use of the 7mm billet spacers.

Here are pictures:

Here's the video guys, as promised!

Nice video. I happen to see this earlier today, and stumbled over this post. Real impressive advantage.


Regarding clearance, BBK's I installed on my (previous) cars required min. 5-7mm distance between caliper and wheels. (All AP-Racing BBK's).

Pretty sure I wouldn't' have as good as luck fitting the oem beadlocks without the spacers lol. I can almost put money on it that I'd have to run the spacers for lil bit the seat the pads and wear them down before I could clear the calipers.

But they look great and I really like the thought of decreasing stop distance by 50 feet.

Hey guys, sorry for the delay in responding. I've been traveling this weekend. It's hard to really capture the actual clearance due to the angle of the picture and I don't have anything that measures with mm to the pictures.

However, 7mm billet spacers are included in the kit for additional clearance if desired.

Please let me know if y'all have any other questions!

20x10 wheels recommended brakes

A lot of Alcon fans here I see. For my 20" wheels the compact size is not important, however, I just simply would like to figure out how they all 6P BBK compare to each other:
BAER vs WILWOOD vs STOPTECH vs ALCON vs BREMBO?

And what is the best bang for the buck?? vs stopping power.

Any thoughts or technical data would be much appreciated?!

There are a lot of things that come into breaking. First and most important is your traction. It doesnt matter if you have a 15 inch piston caliper gold plated brake kit. If your tires are out of traction it will not make a difference. Big rotors are great for avoiding fade but really how many people could drive one of these hard enough to get brake fade. I would best for that reason all the brake kits would perform very similarly on most street driven trucks.
