2010 LTZ Brakes

[peterbrown77]

Hola -

My gf has a 2010 LTZ and it needs a brake job in front. I did the rears last year, but I've never liked the performance of the stock brakes. Looking at Rock, there's the police package. My question is can I upgrade the fronts to police without changing the calipers, just the frames? The rims are 20's, clearance not an issue ( I think) so the larger rotor with the correct pads and new frames.

TIA

pads are the same size, the premium ceramic pads are better, the ppv pads are semi-metallic

I must be making an incorrect assumption that the police package would have larger diameter rotors....?

same diameter 13" police rotors may be "vented" to help dissipate heat but that has nothing to do with the pad size

if you are looking on Rockauto the drilled slotted vented powerstop rotors near the bottom of the list under high performance are pretty nice, they sell them as a set of 2
rockauto is kind of weird sometimes these one's I am linking are shown as only for the 08-19 tahoe, but there is no difference between the 07-19 tahoe, yukon, suburban, escalade, etc..

What's wrong with stopping inside of 140 feet from 60 mph? Did you use OE part numbers or ACDelco Professional?

Stopping faster is cool though
