Got My EradiSpeed Front Rotors

ABS Light
MeanGene, just installed the Eradispeed +1 for my 2006 F-150 2WD Screw. The brakes look great! Only 1 problem, the ABS light stays on. My mechanic thinks that since the Eradispeed +1 rotor has less teeth on the cog that the ABS unit measures for the ABS system than the stock Ford rotor, that this might be the cause. Did you have an ABS light issue with your Eradispeed +1 rotor installation? If not, is there any way to reset the ABS light?

Spoke w/Baer
Apparently the gap between the ABS sensor and the ring on the hub that the ABS sensor reads for the ABS system to work properly must have a gap no wider than .0050". The gap on my system was .012". Baer recognizes this problem with some of their hubs and are taking care of the problem.

russell ss brake lines
If anyone is interested in the russell ss brake lines for the 2004 and up F150s(not lifted) the model # is 693390. The best price I could find is from a place called Gilbert Chevrolet 1-800-545-0048 (formerly known as Sallee Chevrolet). They charged me $82.21 (shipping was another $11). When you get the box, it'll say for 4WD but it will fit the 2WD models as well.

I am now on my third set, which I must say, they have replaced under warranty each time a problem was found. I did, however, have to pay for much of the shipping costs, which has run into the hundreds of dollars. The third set is still out of balance and causes the front wheel to shake and has lately developed a shudder when braking at over 65 MPH, can you say warpped and were talking about less then 5,000 easy miles here. The shaking was real bad with the second set which were out of round by .040". The third set is at .015" out of round which Baer engineers say is within specs. This will still cause a shake in the front end of an F150. I really wanted to believe that Baer made good products, and they may for other vehicles, but for the F150, with the specs they provide, I can only conclude that they are nowhere near the degree of quality necessary for our sensitive F150's. I only hope that I can send these back one final time for some type of refund and get Wilwood or something else that works reasonably well. Heck, stock is better than Baer.
