Brake Upgrade

[Raptor911]

you could sell your beadlocks and get methods and still have lots of $ left over.

Yeah I know - have a 14 SE with those "special" gray beauty rings / fake bead locks and have a hard time justiifying replacing them right now even with the advantages methods bring. I do think methods with a big brake kit are in my future when I make the eventual jump to 37s though.

Are you changing anything on the rear or just front only?

You're not helping...

Are y'all recruiting for a method wheels cult or something?

And I am very likely changing out my wheels so I will have a good deal on 6 method standards..

Ha nice. Just don't start passing out kool aid and it's all good.

Is the Baer set up going to fit with the standards or is that why you are looking and maybe having to replace them? I think I'm partial to the NVs myself.

We are going to check fitment on the Standards... they likely will not clear. But the new Mesh and NV do clear.

So I will check on my current rims to see and most likely end up with the Mesh as I really them anyways.

Subscribing... I'd like to know if these will clear Fuel Trophy wheels, 17 or 18 inch. I'm planning on getting a Whipple within the next year and will upgrade to brakes and this seems like the perfect kit; cost is reasonable, larger rotors which will make a huge difference and C5/C6 pads which I'm very familiar with and there are a ton of options out there.

Are the rotors that come with the kit the only rotors that will work?

pardon the pun, but there are lot of moving parts with making this work. rotor thickness, wheel brake clearance being the two most significant.

I think over time more wheels may clear, but you will have to have them in the shop with the brakes on the truck to check the clearance.

Corey and RPG have found 4 i think that clear. Methods have 2 for sure.

Understood, thanks for the reply. So is it the part of the caliper that faces outward that has the issue clearing the inside of the wheel spokes?
