What did you do to your Raptor today? (Gen2)

[nikhsub1]

Sure I understand that, (I did say average). I see brakes last 60-70k regularly with 100k+ on a highway queen.

Personally those type of pads are to hard and eat up the rotor at about 1/5th the rate of the pads.

I was mostly saying I have worked with Brembos and they have a flaw or two also.

Yeah but stop go stop go in Los Angeles is murder on brakes...

Fronts are in and I’m told by Wilwood they may be working on an electronic parking brake compatible rear set.

I assume these were the originals. If that's the case, 78k.

How did you torque the new ones? I think the spec is like 11 lb-ft but I have no torque wrench that goes that low.

By feel. I read those torque specs too, but I have never torqued a spark plug in my life. I just snugged them up and gave that little extra slow pull.

She's running fantastic now. That needed to be done.

I’m not a big torque to spec guy and usually do everything by feel, but saw a lot of people mention the spec for the plugs. I only usually torque lug nuts or rotating assemblies.
