Bear Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I'm running the Hawk Ceramic's and no brake squeal here and no more dust to report than usual. Over-all, I'm a very happy camper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTMD8R_SS Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 So i can remove the 2 outer pins? and just keep the center one since it hooks to the caliper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 So i can remove the 2 outer pins? and just keep the center one since it hooks to the caliper? That's what I done. It doesn't seem to have any effect and they were the worst offenders, as far as the rubbing was concerned. The center clip, like you said, is what really holds the S.S. piece in place.

misterp Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 so just a quick question, so really all you need is the 15" up front and the 14" in the rear and you should be all set? yep, that's ALL you will need. That son-bitch will stop like no other! Throw on the 6piston fronts and 4piston rears and hold on! 15" front rotors w/ 6-piston calipers, 14" rear rotors w/ 4-piston calipers and you can safely haul the truck down from tripple-digit speeds *right now*. I've got the Baers, but this conversion will perform similarly. This might be an expensive mod but it is a VERY rewarding upgrade you'll love it and I emphasize if you are going to keep your truck long-term it should be one of the first mods you install, the 03-04 factory brakes are a joke and will get you into trouble one day. The only downside is that you will not be able to run a smaller rim (for drag radials). Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I thought they were making a 20 drag radial? I'll look for where I read that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ss wrecker Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 you can fit an 18 inch wheel around the baer alumasports so if you have 14 inch brakes in the rear you should be able to use 18s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 you can fit an 18 inch wheel around the baer alumasports so if you have 14 inch brakes in the rear you should be able to use 18s AWD and 15inchers all the way around and you will be running 20's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BILLS04SS Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 I just received my kit from Ray (thanks bud) last week. I'm leaving Monday for Tucson Az for work and will post some pics as soon as I install mine. Just hard to do around the holidays with family and all.
