Brakes and rotors (Dimpled & Slotted)

Check out SSBC B8 calipers. I had them on my last truck. I'm willing to bet they're just as good without the Wilwood price!

No option for the F150

Do you really think the brakes changed between 21 and 22?

I have no idea. You wouldn't think so???

I have no idea. You wouldn't think so???

The kit i sent for the front says it's good for 21, which makes me believe it's probably also good through 25...

According to that company’s direct website they are for the 2020 and earlier F150. Not the 2021 and later.

They seem like a great option for us if they did fit.

I've never known Summit to lie. Even though their website says it's good for 2021, after filling out the check fitment it says does not fit. I guess they're giving conflicting information. My bad

I'll reach out to them and see if they have something on the horizon; because these are an exceptional deal. I used them on my last truck.

Just got the Wilwood Alpha 6 kit delivered today. Box was kinda beat up but what do you expect when it’s 80 plus lbs. Gonna install when it’s not 118 degrees outside.

You got a while to wait, maybe October?

 

[Tremorized2023]

Right? Unless we get a monsoon to cool things off for a few days but those are few and far between lately. Check out the calipers..

Whatever wheels you have, I hope you’ve checked clearance.

 

[Tremorized2023]

Method 18”x9” looks like there’s more than enough clearance

Says 17” wheels or bigger in there part description

Interesting.
Somehow I doubt they’ll clear the 18” OEM TREMOR wheels.
I hope they work out well for you.
When it’s time for brakes on my TREMOR, I think I’m going to give EBC a try. Their blade rotors and Red Stuff pads look like a solid upgrade but definitely not in the same league as your setup.

Do they have a backspace requirement?

Edit: Are these them?

I haven’t been on BAER’s website since I got out of Mustangs and I had no idea this kit existed.
I think I’m going this route over EBC.
15” rotors with stock calipers and a better brake pad for considerably less than the 6 piston kit.
Win, win in my book.

I have no interest in swapping the calipers in my truck, it's not a sports/track focused car. Now rotors and pads when they are needed? Absolutely!
