Any updates as to the effectiveness, or improvement?

UNBROKEN · Sep 22, 2011

I won't be installing for a while. I'm out of state working plus I'm waiting on them to release the rear calipers which is mid-Nov. I'm just stoked they're making a rear caliper...I have no idea how big it'll be but a 6 piston back there sure would be nice. Also gotta have braided brake lines made and make the final call on what rotors to run. Their drilled and slotted ones look nice but I really like the all drilled ones....but at twice the cost of slotted I'm not sure they're worth it.

We installed a set on an excursion today with slotted rotors and braided SS lines, I could momentarily lock the front brakes before the ABS caught it.
NIGHT and DAY difference.

Any pictures of stock brake pads vs the ssbc pads? Like to see how much more pad area one gets with these....

Not to mention, what kind of pads are offered?

Braking isn't all about how big the pad is. The clamping force of an 8 piston fixed caliper vs a 2 piston sliding caliper is ridiculous. But the pad is bigger too...It's a common GM pad so upgraded pads are readily available.

SSBC will be offering our Tri-Power HD 3-piston caliper for the rear of the 1999-2011 F-250, F-350 and Excursions. The release will be expected in mid January. The Tri-Power HD calipers will have (3) 51mm stainless steel pistons in a floating billet aluminum caliper housing. The Tri-Power HD caliper has the clamping force of a 6-piston fixed caliper, just in a 3-piston sliding design. The Tri-Power HD caliper will be the ultimate complement to our popular V8 8-piston caliper to complete your brake system.

What happened to November ?

BK39 · Sep 26, 2011

It may have been in here somewhere and I overlooked it, but what's a ball park figure($$$$.xx) on this set up? I'd love to have a set for my big X. pending price of course.

UNBROKEN · Sep 26, 2011

Front calipers are around a grand

SSBC-BRAKES · Sep 27, 2011

I don't know where mid-November came from. That is why I put up the accurate release date. The rear caliper set will be under a $1000. The final pricing is not set as of yet as we are waiting to see if any changes need to be done while installed on our test vehicles. I will let you guys know of any new information. I'm trying to push R&D to get an earlier release date for these.
Once anybody has the V8 calipers installed on their ride. Send me some pics, I will put them up on our website or Facebook page.
