I don't know if I'm allowed to say their name again according to admin. But if you search ranger brake kits they're are the ones that are based in the UK and Taiwan.
Why can’t you say their name?

Admin said I can't because I helped them develope the kit (just the caliper bracket as they already have this kit for the world wide Ranger) and if they want advertisement they need to pay the sponsorship fee.

A month in and these are great. Mushy pedal is a distant memory.

In 6400 miles this is what the oil catch can caught. #notsnakeoil

That’s garbage IMO. It’s not advertisement, it’s you telling us about more cool options for our rangers. This is a forum after all. If they’re that hard up for money to run this then they just need to offer a premium membership option and collect money. I’d pay it, I’m on here daily.

I asked Torrie at Unleashed to soften my downshifts in 3rd down and no more jerking brakes when slowing down. Still has some from 5th and 4th. I'm going to request softening the down shift there too.

Finally got the different mounting bracket. Still had to shim but was able to shim this time to center the caliper. The worldwide Ranger is a different brake setup. The bracket that came for the worldwide version couldn't be shimmed in the correct direction. Stops better obviously and the pedal feel has firmed up a bit and doesn't feel as vague or spongy. Would like it to feel firmer so I'll see what rear braided lines will do.
Is that like a prototype bracket? Will they eventually make one that doesn't need shims?

What I've noticed is with the temps now being in the 40-60's and the start/stop I've picked up a ton of condensation in the catch can. It's probably not getting hot enough with start/stop and the cold the engine to get rid of thr condensation quick enough. Definitely didn't get as much when it was warmer. And the amount of oil seems the same but it's harder to tell with the water mixing. Cumulative now at 6671 miles.

Letting it sit overnight or longer you can see everything separate. There's a ton of water (condensation) that comes from the breather side and about the same amount of oil from the PVC side. The condensation has increased big time in colder weather (not freezing) with a good amount of auto start/stop.

Since I couldn't find anyone that made smoked sequential turn signal markers for the mirrors I made my own.
