ordered the outlaw stainless braided brake lines today (call them and ask for the frf discount). Going to upgrade those before I go to the rotors/pads. I'd like to see the incremental difference.

At one point I thought the Raptor brakes were decent. Until this week.

Ordered the outlaw brake lines late Friday afternoon and received them this morning.

Man, these things look beefy. Gives me another project to do this weekend.

Thanks, Sean (@Outlaw).

What all is involved in changing out the lines?
Should I get a buddy?
How many beers?
How many beers for a novice?

Removing the rubber lines from the truck and the banjo bolt @ caliper, then rebleeding the system. Might as well flush the whole thing.

For the most part, you can gravity bleed 1-corner at a time and it will work out ok.

Don't drink if you're a novice. You'll be very drunk before you're done. :birgits_tiredcoffee

Be interesting to hear more feedback on some of these alternatives after some long-term use.

I'm definately not too keen on the stock Raptor brakes... Fortunately, I consider myself a pretty aware & prepared driver.... Have no trouble bringing it to a stop... But there are times when other people throw you a curve ball out there, that the Raptor really doesn't feel like it's going to stop for.

There is no limit to just how stupid people can be.

Definately miss the feeling of driving something half the weight with a nice set of Brembo's.

Ordered the same set up as treypal's. Rotors just arrived the other day now waiting for the Yellow pads to come in.
NOW these are ROTORS...DAMN!

Does anyone have the part numbers for these? I asked Autoanything about these for my 2014 Ford Raptor and they said they didn't carry the black sport rotor for my truck?

Thanks,
