[QUOTE="Truckzor, post: 1119130, member: 10220"] Do us a favor and report back about the stopping distances you get out of those jumbo brembos. Based on the reports from guys who have big brake kits that I've seen or heard so far, it seems that the real issue with the Raptor's brakes may in fact be the poor weight balance of a pickup truck combined with all that suspension travel, which takes the rear wheels almost completely out of the equation when you're on the brakes hard. The extra power has come in very handy for me in several real world situations. Big brake kits on a truck with mushy suspension, though... I have my doubts about the real world usability, which is why I haven't pulled the trigger on the Alcon kit. But hey, if all you care about is bling, then go for it. As for me, my truck has been built specifically to be as stock appearing as can be. As for tooner wheelz on a Raptor... that's just a no. [/QUOTE]
