Brakes
I was wondering about doing brakes. When sliding the new pads in is it ok if they are tight against the rotor or do they have to have a space and be kind of springy. I placed mine in and they are tight against the rotor so I stopped in case this was incorrect. Any help will be greatly...- Ryley

With great power comes great need for stopping
As I begin to inch closer to a supercharger install on my Heavyweight Crew Cab 4x4 I understand the need may arise for some better rotors, calipers and pads. I'm curious to know what is being used across the forum to get an idea of where to begin the search.- DoubleJ

Backing up and brake is applied for no reason.
I'm sure I'll get a quick answer to this. I was at the dealership test driving a 2020 1500 Limited.

I assumed it was a safety feature but I...- JoshFink
