Anything new out there?

I know about Brembos, fronts only for $3.5K
I know that there are some slotted and dimped rotors.

Best pads for street and some track?
I have the Raybestos ceramics and they blue the rotors
with any hard repeated stops from ~100 mph.

Thinking of a change, any suggestions?

Some of the 'blueing' could be from what the pads make up is.I know that if it has a lot of carbon in it it will blue the rotors.If you change to a pad that does not have carbon in it I know that you will have less than ideal braking untill the carbon that is deposited on the rotor is worn off.stan

 

Please check Car & Driver, September issue. Tech Stuff:Shedding Light on Fading Brakes.

 

Not sure how much carbon is in the ceramic formulation,
but I am pretty sure it is heat induced blueing as these pads seem to fade badly.

Hey, both Wilwood and Baer make kits for our trucks. I have no details on the Wilwood kit.

The Baer kit has 14" (unsure of the thickness, I think 1½") front rotors, and 6-piston calipers. This, too, is a front-only kit, and goes for about $2500.

However, Baer DOES offer a rear kit for our trucks.
Check it out on http://www.baer.com.

 

I checked out the rear kit looks like OE equipment, no calipers, just a solid disc.

What do the F-350s or larger have on them for brakes?
I'm thinking like a SVT engineer now.
What can I steal from the standard parts bin?

 

NOTHING that will bolt on.After market is about it. I have made a few rear set ups from the 350 rears but its a pia! have to remake bracketsparking brake problems then you get into the ft to rear bais issues.Stan

 

...and these are important items regarding cost, safety and overall operation.
