Boosted Trucks & Brakes
#17
Should have done this sooner. Here are some pics of them installed. So far I am very pleased with these brakes. Very little dust and the stopping power is impressive to say the least. I should have sprayed the Yellowstuff pads with some black paint to cover the yellow paint. It clashes with the red calipers.

So it has come time to upgrade the brakes. Curious what everyone else is using? I elected to go with the EBC setup. Sport rotors (GD7448) and yellowstuff pads (DP41696/2R). Being a two wheel drive is a bitch on these trucks as many of you know due to the rotors and bearing/hub being one piece. I was very pleased to find the EBC kit changes this. Now the rotor and bearing are seperate pieces and should I need to replace either in the future I will be free to select any rotor I want. The setup looks just like the Centric setup which elimanates the stupid one piece design.

Hello, I've been following this post with much interest, since you speak very good experiences with slotted and drilled rotors, personally have always had a fear that, grooves and perforations act as a "brush" on the pads, Useful reducing their life very fast, at least it has been my experience with slotted rotors. You would not have happened, Mr. Jason?. I noticed that the rear rotors are solid, I understand the least is braking in the rear, but I still have my doubts ahead.

I saw this in a 4wd magazine, and they said it only fits raptors but I thought they would fit regular 150's. Any way they do, so AFAIK it's the only rear big brake kit for 150's.

--And Raptor
This part number is a direct bolt on for the 2012+ F-150 and Raptor. If you are using this on a 2009-2011 Truck you will need to purchase brake brackets from Ford. Baer also offers these brackets direct, if you want to purchase these select them from the menu below.
The Arizona Beige looks good, now I just need an extra $ 4K for the rear and another $4 for the front.
Also, I think, if I were going to spend this kind of Money, I would buy from a company that actually sold spare parts for the stuff they had made in the not so distant past, if you get my driff.
