You won't regret it on an '02, for a certainty. Huge difference is stopping power. My '03 tows 4500lbs everyday and this upgrade has saved me two or three time since I installed it last year. Stopping 11,000lbs with the factory brakes was always sketchy. I have the Atomic Fab Viking coilovers. You won't regret that either. Has a similar ride to my '15 HD 2500, except less jitters from the rear since I have the 3" drop coils with Bilsteins back there. Why so many tranny's? You have a supercharger?

Well damn. I just read that and my happy feelings left. I just got 2015 LTZ wheels and had them powder coated. Did you have the 5 or 6 spoke? And where wouldn’t it clear?
Answered my own questions by going back and reading their the entire thread. Bummer. NNBS upgrade it is then. For now.

There are a few people in this thread that said the NBS 2 piston rear will go right on an NNBS with just rotors, pads, and calipers. My concern was the parking brake but based on a quick look on Rock Auto, it looks like the parking brake shoes are the same just the retainers are different (which gives them different part numbers if the retainers are included with the shoes).

2 piston upgrade the parts are listed in the description

Anyone have a link or part # to longer braided steel front hoses?? I can't find info on here and been looking for the last few days. I saw someone posted something about the stock hoses are a bit stretched and would prefer to buy longer hoses for more slack

You could always go Suburban, since the hoses aren't prebent. That should give you enough length. Might check the regular cab trucks, too. The wheelbase on the Extended and Crew cab trucks are longer than a Suburban, so they are highly unlikely to be good for your Escalade.

I finally towed another vehicle with the Caddy with these brakes on it. They worked incredibly well and I could definitely tell an improvement over the originals.
