Ideas for brake upgrade?

I did full stainless lines and Castrol SRF fluid and it made a big difference in pedal firmness and stopping distance.

It's been pointed out before that the current brakes have no problem locking up the tires; i.e., unless you start with the tires any sense of performance you get from this stuff is just magical thinking.

NWFreerider, what SS line kit did you use? Did you have to do a complicated bleeding of the system??

Perhaps you can tell us about the SS lines - what you used, where you got them, installation, etc?

Ordered them from SDHQ. I had 4Wheel Parts do the install while my truck was getting 4.56s installed.

I've been using centric rotors that are double drilled and slotted from rotorworks in garden grove, ca on all my cars and trucks for years. stock pads on the trucks. my dealer even puts them on for free. they said it is easier and faster to change the rotor then to turn the old rotor.

biggest prob i see is the stock brakes fade in heavy traffic. as other have said, they lock up and pulse if slammed. the dds rotors lock up a lil faster, but dissipate heat better.

Foutz sells the Alcon 6100 calipers. They fit under stock wheels.

2018 Ford F-150 Police Responder is Ford's first pursuit-rated pick-up

Would these brakes fit? Or even be available to general public

Brakes aren't top secret and unavailable for purchase. Even though the article doesn't give a brand for the calipers, they're realistically only going to be Alcons or Brembos, just depends on the model of the caliper.

I have the R1 BBk for 20" wheels coming but they told me they also make a BBk for the stock wheels that includes rotors, calipers, lines, etc.
