Nice. Did you do the lower kit yourself? Was it hard. This is on my list after I get those Wilwood.

Yep... it's not bad. Just grab some beer and take your time. Make sure you have a "BFH" and you should be able to knock out the front lower ball joint with a solid hit. The rear... extremely easy!

Wilwood's are next on my list. The SSBC's I have on there now just don't cut it.

I only have 20's, but since the 22's you have are a factory accessory option on these trucks..... is the braking really that bad?

Also, since almost all the Escalades come with factory 22's do they have better upgraded braking vs. the Tahoes and Suburbans? Any one know if the Esky's get slightly bigger rotors, etc. vs. the Yukon/Suburban/Tahoe trucks?

I wouldn't say the stock are "bad" but it's no doubt that the larger wheels do add considerable rolling mass and thus more stopping force is typically needed. I don't baby my suburban... I do take care of it but I drive it without much forgiveness and do keep up on all maintenance both required and preventative. I do haul and tow off an on as well so am just looking for something to give me that much more control and besides, the Wilwood's just look cool

Thanks... appreciate it!

I just got my "thin" 7 spoke wheels and I never knew my rotors were that nasty looking. So yes I agree Wilwoods would look

All have the same size rotors and calipers. Escalade are interchangeable with yukon, etc.
