[QUOTE="Nick@Apollo-Optics, post: 1278398, member: 1314"] We just installed a set on the shop truck and the pedal feel and length of pedal travel for around town braking over stock is significant. On repeated stops when bedding in the brakes, there was significant difference in pedal feel perceived stopping distance compared to stop. We did data logging of the stock brakes and did 3 stops on the same road/same day in repeated passes. Now that the Alcon Kit and ADD Tie Rod Adapters have been installed, we will be doing the same test once we get the front end aligned (required after Tie Rod Adapter installation). We're an authorized Alcon dealer and have kits in stock! The calipers are ductile iron as opposed to aluminum for the added strength and less resistance to heat/jarring bumps vs aluminum. The ductile iron is the reason for the rougher finish on the calipers. And yes, so far, all sensors work like OEM after install. The tipping point for Auto Start/Stop is at the same position as well and works like factory. Added strength over aluminum is our understanding of it. Why no two-piece rotor? Can't quite answer that one. I'd assume 1 piece for as a priority was placed on strength vs weight reduction. The aftermarket setup is heavier. Not sure what the difference was vs OEM, didn't weight it. I think the biggest thing here is that the Deberti Raptor was on a fully prepped track with super soft BFG T/As. Road conditions and sticky tires will help the truck stop faster. And per Alcon, the stop from 60-0 was measured at 90 feet. As far as actual data, we will be providing it once we get our alignment done and complete our testing. [/QUOTE]
