Has anyone put larger rotors on? I'm running 37s and larger diameter brakes might be a good idea if its not $4000 Brembos

Just installed the R1 concepts on 2 trucks did the stainless steel braided lines as well,man what a differance:thumb:
I have ebc ultimax slotted roters and their green stuff 7000 pads on my ford and wow what a difference.
Did you end up getting the Brake Performance setup? I plan on getting some as well.
yeap. no problems with it

Just ordered the dimpled/slotted setup from Brake Performance with their upgraded pads. I have Russell lines to put on as well. Going to powdercoat the rotors and calipers.
NAPA premium rotors and Severe Service pads on front and rear. No dust, no shudder.
If they can stop my truck from 110mph at the track, they are good enough for me.
How you install your brakes is as important (if not moreso) than the parts you buy. Checking fit, proper lube, etc is critical. I always recommend HeyMcCall's DIY over at DP.

Went with the EBC slotted black rotors and their HD Green stuff pads all the way around. Ordered it all from Summit Racing.
The factory rotors turned blue and smoking, hauling my Lance cabover camper and 18' car trailer thru the mountains in NorCal. The truck only had 45,000 miles on it when the rotors went away!
The new brakes are awesome and really can haul it down to a stop! Had no problems this October, hauling the same rig set up in the same mountains in 95 degree weather.
