That is what I have. They are still working on the rear kit. Kevin from HM Suspension is using a smaller 6 piston caliper on the rear. He is working on a caliper bracket. This is the best shop I have ever worked with.

Definitely interested in this brake kit. I take it that HM Suspension installed/can install the Wilwood brake kit on our Raptors?

Installed a pro clip iPhone holder. That heavy duty mount for F150 is ludicrous.

Not sure if thats the new Wilwood kit on 06z's truck but Wilwood showed this off at SEMA last year. The new kit is designed around 17s and should be available in the next month or so. Here's a link to the story about the new kit.




edit; Looks like these are available.
Not to get too off topic, but red loctite on the caliper bolts?
The tq on them is 120 i cant imagine trying to take those guys off to change pads.
The brembos on the trackhawk have pins you can remove and leave the calipers on, these dont seem like they have that unless im mistaken.

With the Wilwoods and the Alcons you have to remove the caliper to change the pads... dumb design.

Factory torque on the brake caliper bracket to knuckle bolt on the f150 is 184 lb ft (250 nm) and they have loctite applied from factory. 120 lbft would be a breeze. To remove a 1/2 impact makes it easy (FYI superduty is 250 lbft)

Meh, the brembos I find more difficult to compress pistons back in without scratching the paint on them. Factory calipers have to be removed also so ain't no big deal really. It isn't a track car that will get new pads every track session.
In reality most vehicles will only have brakes replaced 4-6 times in their life.
