[QUOTE="Zeusmotorworks, post: 1520001, member: 22315"] First of all, you can never (effectively) have too much brake less drivers ability to use such brake. I come from cars designed for performance and haven’t ever had a car that either didn’t come with big name brakes (still got at least pads) or hadn’t added something later. What most (at least lay persons) judge brakes by is brake feel. In most cases initial bite. After poking around and hearing some opinions I ALMOST had an ALCON kit sitting on the garage bench before my 2020 Rptor arrived. Not surprising for someone with my affinity for excellent stopping power and feel. However, figured I’d give OE a try and was pleasantly not wishing otherwise. My 2020 is id say “adequate” for daily driving at best with only 3k miles. I’m not in love, but not jonesing for more yet. If Ferrodo made pads for this truck I’d have at least a front set of there DS2500s here already (about $300 an axle set). Yes they are that good for a daily. Cliff notes: brake feel is very subjective upgrading brakes makes more sense to me and cost less than many aesthetic mods i’m a little high from a knee replacement yesterday so hope this makes sense.
