Many of you have been following the journey of our 2020 Ford Raptor project and have been up to date with all of the mods we have done to it. If not, let’s catch you up to speed (pun intended). We recently pushed the Ford Raptor to 500+ horsepower by way of an intercooler upgrade and bigger turbos from Garrett. And with great speed comes great responsibility and the need for even greater braking power! With that, we teamed up with Baer Brakes right here in Arizona to provide us with top-tier brakes that will allow you to come to a full stop from 60 mph at a pretty impressive time. Not only that, though, but these brakes also look incredible on the truck while at a standstill and in motion too!
In the video below, we give you a close-up look at the Baer Brakes 15-Inch Front Extreme+ Braking System for the 2020 Ford Raptor. We also conduct some tests to compare the stock versus upgraded braking when stopping from 60 mph. The video also features some important information about upgrading your brakes, bedding them in, and key installation points. See it for yourself below and stop on a dime with Baer Brakes!
Baer Brakes Brake System 15-Inch Front Extreme+ Kit (Red)
This front system features the 6S 6-piston monoblock caliper mounted onto a 15-inch 2-piece slotted, drilled, and zinc-plated rotor. Baer brake systems include stainless-steel brake hoses, calipers that have D.O.T. compliant dust and weather seals, as well as the popular D1247 brake pad. Quality bearings are used together with NAS high-grade stainless hardware for the pre-assembled 2-piece rotor. The 6S caliper is deemed a Baer flagship offering and is built out of a single piece of US-sourced 2618 forged aluminum for the ultimate in strength, longevity, and performance. The 15-inch Extreme+ Front Brake Kit is designed to fit most 19-inch or larger wheels and includes all of the necessary mounting brackets for a straightforward installation.
