[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1463058, member: 31322"] I concur on the Z36 kit - I went w/ that on my previous GMC truck - I think the Raptor's stock brakes are actually pretty good, def better than the setup on my '15 GMC - but since I had good experience w/ this kit previously I'll probably go w/ it on the Rap too I personally wouldn't bother w/ the SS lines - First you won't lose any brake feel or have the factory rubber lines degrade ANY time soon - we're talking a decade on those....plus this is a 5500 lb truck, not a sportbike or lightweight sports car you probably won't even feel any diff. Also - many times the connection w/ the SS lines is not as secure as factory (are they banjo strap type?) - lastly, multiple instances in corvette world of the SS lines causing static interference w/ the EBCM/Wheel speed sensors/Traction/Stability control etc. Not sure if that could be an issue w/ the Ford trucks, but since they legit don't do sh*t for ya performance-wise I'd leave the factory lines in place I also wouldn't recommend running 95% of the drilled discs out there - even from reputable companies - slotted OK, blanks are fine.
