I called Stillen today and they are coming out with cross drilled rotors, pads, and steel braided lines for the lightning. I asked the sales guy and said they were still testing them. They might even do a big brake package similar to brembo but for a bit less money.

It is probably worth the wait as nobody else that i have found is currently in production for a less costly brake system except brembo.

Does this include calipers, too? Is it just my truck, or do all Lightnings have a lot of drag on the front brakes? I can't believe how much effort it takes to turn the rotors with the wheels off. Its got to slow you down as well as waste gas. I don't understand why Ford set the brakes up this way, unless my truck is an oddball. Any solutions, short of swapping the brakes?

 

When I replaced the front pads on my truck, I didn't feel excessive drag. The rotors were so straight, I didn't want to have them turned, and take a chance of screwing them up. After 22,000 mi. they were within .001 runout and parallel. You would have trouble getting that close even if you had a new brake rotor lathe.

 

What about a rear brake setup so we can fit some 15's on there!

Also, is this kit just or the 01 L's with there new wheel, or for all.

 

Baer brakes also has a several options for brake kits all the way up to six piston bad boys. They are listed for the Expedition but should be the same. I have info coming and will post soon. They use Alcon calipers. Top shelf.
