[QUOTE="EricM, post: 2001354, member: 20286"] 1) This only applies to repeated braking though. Most Raptor owners looking for a BBK want the single emergency stop from high speeds to be shorter. It's disconcerting to not have ABS kicking in at high sppeds because there is not enough braking force to lock the tire. The larger caliper does nothing for you in this regard. 2) The number of pistons will not change the clamping force by itself. That is determined by the master cylinder size and the combined caliper piston sizes. You can make a single piston claiper have the same force as a 12 piston caliper, it's just a matter of having the same areas in the circles. Bottom line, without changing the master cylinder and possibly the pedal ratios, you will not get significantly more clamping force. 3) It the same diamater rotor. ??? 4) Well, you'd think- but as it turns out, nope. 5) Everything is a trade off on pads with the OEM pad being the best jack of all trades. You will give up something going more agressive- cold performance, wet performance, noise, dust, something has to give or else Ford would run that pad too. 6) Minimal at best, but yes there is some benefit there.
