Looking to purchase brake upgrade kit, R1 Concepts feedback

[rmoore311]

Ive been looking up the same thing an seen lots of good reviews on the R1. Seems like a great "budget" option.

I’ve had my R1 BBK 2 years now, zero issues! I absolutely love them. I did the install myself.

Good read! I'm due for some brakes soon

I have the R1 setup for my 17”s and it’s awesome. Can’t imagine ever going back to stock brakes after this. Been on the truck for almost a year, perfect in every way.

The R1 fits with your OEM 17” wheels? Assuming you needed to go with larger spacers?

any additional details for this kit?

I've seen them spec an R1 kit that fits stock 17" wheels and I think one of the members here participated in the fitting process.

freedom motorsports has a r1 kit for oe 17" wheels, not sure if they still offer it
i have the kit for my wheels, but ended up going 18" wheels.
Think i need more stopping power, went to 37" and i think its a bit slower to stop now. that and i added a super heavy 5 link suspension to the rear.

Big time thread necro, but @Andrew Macpherson where did you purchase the set? Also, what size rotors?

It looks like the kit from Evil Offroad has 356mm front/ 330mm rear rotors, with 6-piston calipers on both ends. I’m looking at a lightly larger rear rotor, but only 4-piston calipers in the rear to keep the brake balance closer to stock; don’t want to start messing with brake master cylinders just yet.

lol another thread necro. i need new rotors. i've been emailing chris at freedom. but hes probably no longer replying or there?

@rayofsi You can reach out directly to R1 for a quote.

I “built” my potential system here: https://www.r1concepts.com/bbk

…and then sent them that configuration for a quote; had to do it as separate requests for the front and rear. All I got back was a couple spam videos but no actual quote. Guess I should check my spam folder(s), LoL.

Also, I assume I will need them, but not 100% sure if I’ll need adapter brackets to fit these calipers to my stock mounting points.

Edit: Just looked ‘em up and they’re < 1 hour away from where my truck will be getting some work done in a few weeks. Probably dangerous to my wallet, but will swing by to get hands-on with their kits, and get a real quote.
