07 Tahoe brake upgrade help

[Modded]

ok, ok... (I'm my best political back tracking tone) I never intended to harm or to offend any one who was subjected to reading my words "I guess that makes you a real professional huh?" what I really intended for my statement was not to question the offended individuals credetials....but to suggest that their may be more than one opinion on increased rotational mass versus stopping power and or distances.
Well even if you did not mean it to offend me, you were pretty much calling me out for no reason. You could have easily just said "well you have your opinion and I have mine" if you really did not want to offend me.
If anyone ever assumed that I was insinuating that Ive ever put large wheels on a vehicle I apologize, however I have had extremely heavy load rated tires (325.65.18 E rated) mounted on steel wheels which do increase rotational mass and therefore it is my opinion that I have the experience necessary to post in this topic.
These are very heavy indeed, especially with steel 18s, but guess what, that particular example would weigh in at about 120lbs atleast, while my 24s with Hankook tires weighed exactly 93lbs!! Stock 20s and tire weighed 90lbs!
Have I ever owned a NNBS truck? No, I've had car payments (sometime 3 at a time) for the last 13 years and currently I am enjoying having 3 GM trucks that I can honestly say I own. Have I ever worked on a NNBS truck? Every day... For the record 2 of my trucks have NNBS brakes so once again I am very familiar how they feel.

It is my PERSONAL opinion that NNBS brakes can stop big and or heavy wheels but there is a substantial gain from upgrading the pads/rotors or installing a big brake kits that relocates the factory caliper further out from the hub and also allows a larger diameter rotor. Each and every one is entitled to mod there truck to their own liking and we don't necessarily have to like what they did or did not do to their own personal truck.
This is very true, but like I indicated in my first post of this thread, that substantial gain leads to braking that is better than stock at a price of atleast $1000, I, and most others, would rather buy a Panasonic plasma or something haha. The stock rotors are crappy, and that is is the only reason to upgrade brakes because they are just ******, but premium replacement pads/rotors are enough to suffice 26s. 28s or 35" tires with 18s and above sized rims should get a brake upgrade, yet 75% of the NNBS people on GMFS with 35" tires and larger, along with 18" rims and larger (this weighs in at atleast 130lbs) say they stop fine with stocks!! Some have 40s with 22s (weigh in around 160lbs and they stop fine enough.
/end humor

good night, I have been released for enduring Black Friday by my wife so I am going to bed!

BTW: Just to add another jab, in my personal garage I have 8 sets of rotors made by numerous companies (EBC, Power Stop...and so on) and 12 sets of pads that I have personally tried to find what I liked the best. I think this alone qualifies me in NNBS brakes.

Gentlemen....personal opinions are always of value; no matter the "side" they are on. That said, there IS a difference between personal opinion and professional experience or even more....engineering experience. If you decide to take information out of context then of course that is your right. If you decide to go with scientific fact that is of course your right as well. I stand firmly behind my earlier statement based on the question that was asked originally and without hypotheticals being added. Rotational weight differential between stock and the original question does not play a part. I would be glad to expound on a disertation of Newtons original laws and the therom of rotational weight (which by the way is known as gyroscopic effect in a balanced rotating object) BUT bottom line is if you want to do it then go for it, it's your money. The question was asked and an honest answer given....by more than one. All I will ever ask is that disagreement be based on verifiable information and not on conjecture or hearsay.

P.S. Of course bigger brakes will stop quicker.....that is NOT rocket science....are they required for "normal daily driving"?

Bling, Bling, if that's your thing.

Haha you are on my not argue list now related to this topic, especially because I cannot provide any evidence on Newton laws.

This is what I spent 2 hours trying to say pretty mcuh.

LOL are big wheels necessary for every day driving? And what would classify every day driving?

 

[Modded]

Joe, the more you type, the more you do not make any sense!!
I give up this argument with you, read the quotes in my signature.

 

[OklabyGodhoma]

To answer one's burning question "And what would classify every day driving?" ; it is what is done by the reasonable and prudent individual.

"Some people are just basic human beings.....NO factory options; while others have spent their time doing high dives into the shallow end of the gene pool."

Relax modded, in this mornings post I was messing with you. LOL

Wow to think I just read all of this in hopes of getting some suggestions on brake upgrades, thanks for wasting my time. Somewhat entertaining though.

I bought the police pads and rotors for the front, what are some good options for the back?
