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.

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.
The above has performed so well up front I decided to update my rear brakes. 94,000 miles, it's time. Ordered Centric 120-65102 rotors and EBC Yellowstuff pads DP41697R. $215 through Amazon. Hoping they make it by this weekend. Want to go racing by Memorial Day weekend.

I've had slotted and dimpled front and rear rotors for a while now and they so far are warped free. Panic stopping seems to have improved too. I love having the hub/rotor separated too so I can use 4wd rotors if needed. Funny seeing this thread come up from 2011.

Yeah. Hard to believe it was that long ago I put these on the front. Pads still look new.

The Baer 15" rotor kit comes with all of this. You don't usually see everything online.

Did the new hub come with the bearings pre-installed or did you have to press them in?

Hub is all ready to go, just slide onto the spindle and tighten the nut and go. No pressing needed.

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.
