Re: How Much Interest: 13" Big Brake Upgrade

The Latest Update with CPP’s 13” Brake Kit;

We just finished all the official testing on the CPP 13” kit. The official data will be published in Classic Trucks magazine. I can not give you the details on how it went, but I can tell you we stopped in about 1/3 less distance than before, when it had the 12” disc front and the big drum rear. The truck we tested is a heavy half. We even out stopped all but 1 of the cars that were being tested that day. The only car to out stop us was on 14” rotors, 6 piston calipers, and sticky tires. In fact all of the “race” cars had at least 13” rotors, and very sticky tires. Their test driver commented that the truck was the easiest to drive at the limits. All of the “race” cars required a lot of driver control, most wanted to spin out during every maneuver being tested. During the brake testing in the truck he actually let go of the steering wheel, and stopped perfectly straight. None of the other cars could come even close to stopping straight on their own.
