Brakes SVT F-150 Lightning ProTouring Ceramic Disk Pads |  |
Stopping a 4600 pound muscle truck like the Lightning is no easy job . . . particularly if you've done a few things under the hood to make it a projectile on wheels. While the stock braking system isn't bad, you can see a noticeable reduction in stopping distance by simply changing out the front pads with some high performance ceramic pads developed for the guys at Baer Brakes. Over 70% of your braking capability comes from your front discs, so you can leave your rear disc pads stock and still get the job done. Rear brake lock-up is always an issue with a front-heavy pickup, so boosting the front braking potential by itself has a tendency to moderate the uneveness in the stock brake setup, reducing the likelihood of engaging the anti-lock braking system due to rear wheel lock-up. Whether yours is a 13, 12, or 11 second truck . . . if you like to put your foot in it, you've no doubt scared yourself a time or two when some jackass pulled out in front of you. It is times like those that you'll appreciate pads like these! After all, Lightnings don't belong in body shops . . .
| Specially
made for Baer Brakes by Scandinavian Brake Systems (SBS), these ceramic front
disc brake pads dramatically increase linear high level friction without a significant
increase in rotor wear. 100-0 mph testing on the F-150 showed reductions in stopping
distance of 120 feet (499' vs. 379'). Lightning Front Disc Pads: $169 / set |  | ||
