Alcon issues

[K223]

Did you guys only do fronts or all fours?

Only fronts on the 19. It is worth it.

Yeah would imagine so. Getting tangled up with that electric parking brake out rear sounds like a hassle.

Did you need to add or change anything as far as proportioning valve etc with adding fronts? Or as simple as bolt on and go? Maybe lines I gather?

Bolt on and go.

Fronts only for my 2018. Figured that is where the majority of stopping power comes from anyway so you get more bang for your buck.

I did change the lines to SS, but other than bedding in the brakes, nothing else to do. Nick at Appolo Optics supplied them and did a great job.

hey guys so finally got then settled in. Had to grind down a bit 1-2% but that helped with the squeaking while driving. performance wise, 100% worth the money.

Installing them soon. Good to hear that the issue has been resolved.

What did you have to grind down to shop the squeezing, the rotors or brake pads?

Chamfer the leading and tailing edges of the pad. Use some CRC brake squeal orange shit on the back of pads. A little dab will do ya.

Also. Aggressive racing pads squeal like stabbed pigs regardless. Choose compounds wisely. Alcons are great equipment.
