Nick,
Is there any way you guys could test the braking performance of just the front Alcon kit with stock rear, vs stock all around? Or do you know of anyone who has first hand experience?
I loved your youtube video and it is what interested me in the Alcon kit. Just curious how much benefit the front only kit would give vs the HUGE improvement for the complete kit that you got. I am also curious if the difference from having the fronts be so significantly better/stronger than the rears will create and issue in emergency braking situations (unbalanced braking)

Unfortunately, I won't have time to throw the stock rear brakes back on our truck for testing by the time the group buy ends so I won't be able to get real data for you.
However, we can play a bit of math. It's pretty much a standard that the front axle does 70% of a vehicle's braking. And we saw a 27% reduction in stopping distance with the new brakes at all 4 corners. So by applying the 70% calculation to the 27% number, I'd expect a 19% reduction in braking with the front kit only installed.
Regarding the BBK front vs stock rear safety, Alcon has stated that the braking system remains balanced.
Please let me know if you have any other questions!
