2006 SS Silverado brakes on a 97 yukon??

[97GT]

well i was talking to a buddy of mine about upgrading my brakes. I think I'm going to go with slotted rotors, better pads and stainless lines. From what I have read this application seems to work really well and the price is low. I have 16" wheels and with a big brake kit I would have to get bigger ones. I'm not ready for that yet. So anyone have good input one what to get?

NBS master cylinder, you'll need adapter BLF-26C for 1 of the lines
GVW 8600 (3/4 ton truck) calipers with your regular replacement pads, the 8600 pads won't work

or switch to a Hydroboost setup

there a full write up on the swap or is it otherwise straight forward? first ive heard of this route. (other than the hydroboost)

hey 96procomptahoe what kind of a setup do u have?

 

[96ProCompTahoe]

Brembo Stock Replacement Slotted Rotors, Stainless lines, everything else is still stock but recently replaced/new fluid. disabled the ABS. Managed to lock the front end up about a week ago, good enough for me for now!

I've done the calipers and it's pretty much remove and replace, I would get new bolts and the sleeves while I had it apart. The pistons are like 1/4" bigger but the mounting points are the same

The NBS master is on the 'to do' list, and the adapter fitting is only $2.

have to pull a set of them the next time at the yards, same with the NBS master if i can find one, still rare at the lots here to find any NBS chevy's that aren't torched.

On the calipers you can get new ones for around $20 each @ the parts stores so it's really not worth the hassle of messing with rusty caliper bolts to go used imo. Just pay the core charge and take the old ones back in when finished, they won't notice the small difference

Take a look at r1concepts,they sell alot for the trailblazer ss's and have good results..Not to say the EBC's are bad but just giving you more options

Also if you still thinkin about the 06 sss brakes's you'll have to go up to a 17" wheels to clear them...
