Here’s the 14” reaper front kit I’m installing now. Sadly car is down for a couple weeks waiting on tires and procharger to deal with my leaky blower. They clear the 17x4.5 front runners no problem and the 18” sve series 2

The land of commies and socialists!
Baer 6P
2 pc rotors
EBC Yellowstuff which at higher mph braking start to feel spongy or just need to be heated up 1st not sure.
Maybe switch to red stuff?
Stay safe out there.

Awesome looking breaks!

I have run EBC Green, Red and Ultimax pads on various vehicles and have NEVER been impressed with any of them. Why I kept trying after using the red stuff I don't know.

I specifically remember the Ultimax pads on my truck feeling soft especially under hard breaking and when towing. They actually destroyed a set of new rotors after 20k miles. At around 18k I started hearing the squeaker.

The pads were almost gone and the rotors were below the minimum thickness. They also had a massive lip because the pads were smaller than the outside edge of the rotor. The lip was roughly .025 wide.

I was shocked to say the least and to date that's the least amount out mileage I've ever gotten out of a set of new brakes.

You couldn't pay me to run EBC anything ever again.

I tried a set of EBC pads on my F150 because they actually had em in stock for all 4 corners. For whatever reason the rear ones were gone in no time, not impressed at all. I went back to motorcraft all around and no issues. I don't see myself buying EBC anything again
