07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

Reviving this thread because this is the next thing I want to get done to my 2005 Z71. I was going to order this kit for a 2010 and just wanted to make sure there won't be any issue with the brake hoses fitting my Tahoe. I have 18" rims on it already from a Silverado.

The stock hoses--in my case steel braided hoses--fit my 2010 calipers no problem. I also have a stock 2010 setup on my 03. I run 17's with them.

I used brand new 02 Tahoe brake hoses in my case.

Good move. Cheap enough to replace.

It was a straight forward bolt up swap going from stock '04 to larger '11 rotors and calipers for me. Locating copper washers was a bit frustrating. I did have to bend both inner dust (splash?) shields slighting to prevent them from rubbing on the larger rotors.

Rim size is fine - you need 17. I did this back in 2011 to a 2001 1500 Yukon XL - Police package calipers for a T900 and T900 Rotors - good upgrade - I used SS Flex lines, but I remember it was from a T800 Kit.
