...ready whenever you are!
Hey Johnny, while you're here, can you tell me, is there an actual Wilwood BBK kit for gen 1 raptors, that you can use with 18" wheels? I'm about to buy tires, so I'd consider going 18" for BBK.

Can you estimate the cost of brake rotors and pads, when the time comes to maintenance? How about 17" kit vs 18" kit? Do the Wilwood rotors have alum hats and you just replace the rotor ring?

So the Aero 6 kit still works with 18” wheels on the gen 1, however the TXR kit requires 20s.

When maintenance time comes the rotors/pads are in the 400-600 range depending on exact specs and pad compound. Its a full replacement rotor, not a two piece.

Overall the pad and rotor job is comparable in price to a quality OEM system. You can get em on the site or hit me up for an FRF discount
