Best brake kit ?

[Plasterman]

Looking to get a brake kit, brembo or wilewood I see are the most popular. Im on 20’s but put stock back on for wheeling. What’s the scoop on no squeaking and longevity out there?

R1 Concepts is another BBK.

You will not be able to use your 17" with a BBK.

You can get pads with higher friction coefficient like EBC Yellowstuff pads for the stock calipers.

You can gain as much as 25% better braking with better pad, but they might squeek or produce more dust.

Alcon works with 17" wheels. If it is a 19, you can only do the front, but it works well. Contact Nick at Apollo Optics, he can help you.

It’s an 18’ I didn’t realize there was a difference on the two. I’ll get in touch with him. Thanks!

I can’t stand squeaky wheels. I’ll sell the truck before I have squeaking happening. Lol

What's your budget?

Hmmm. No budget as of now. Seeing what’s out there. Brembo’s aren’t cheap but I’ve had them before on other cars and they’re great.

Your only option is Alcon if you want to fit the stock 17in rim.

Not familiar, I have seen them talked about on here but no long term reviews. Thanks for the info. I’ll look up some reviews. Thanks!
