Big Brakes

[Nick@Apollo-Optics]

Sorry to revive an old thread but just wanted to be sure.

Just picked up a ‘24 Raptor and want more stopping power. Are Wilwoods and Brembos the only front kits that will clear the OEM 17’s?

The sizes of stock seems bigger than the BBK’s offered so are they even stronger? Or maybe just some race pads and call it a day?

Alcon, Wilwood, R1 Concepts, & Rotora will fit with 17" wheels up front. Brembo will required a 20" wheel. Happy to chat with you more about the kits on the market if you'd like.

Where do you want your brakes better? Going to Starbucks or hauling but thru the desert or decreased stopping distance. There are several threads arguing about this. To me, they all sum up to: if you want better all around performance than any of the kits will do that. Alcon is the most extreme and changes the brake bias the most and claims it reduces stopping distance. Most kits don’t claim this, they claim better cooling, less brake fade and much lighter peddle feel.

The Alcon kit is proven to decrease stopping distance. We tested it on our Gen 2 and made a YouTube video about it. Also running Alcon on our other Gen 2.

I sent my truck to Rotora. 2023 Raptor R and they did the R&D and got my truck installed. Front and rear axle BBK. Sensors wig out 5% of the time, but it resets itself after a restart. I’ll take some better pictures

I upgraded my brakes 4 month ago to Wilwoods in the front and R1s in the back. So far fronts have been great and I think every R should have better brakes.

The rear R1s on the other hand, cracked in 2 different places. I emailed R1 cs the pictures and waiting to see how they respond.

Interested in any insight. Is it the rotor or did I "brake" it.
