Yeah, they rusted pretty quick on me, I have pics somewhere. But like I said, they still performed great for me, didn't have any other issues- so I didn't think calling them would do any good.

Still no sign of rust or any issues on the SSBCs (the Big Bites) on the SSS, hoping I will be able to say the same about EBCs!

I like the looks of the SSBC's, although I have not sold any of their kits except for the rear drum to disc conversion kits and a few firm feel master cylinders. I am THINKING about putting one of those conversions on the 05 Silverado since it has drums in the back, but IDK, I have thought about just finding a wrecked truck to take the entire rear axle, hydroboost, power steering pump, brackets and all out of and converting it that way, we'll see when the time comes.

I say go for the SSBCs, they certainly have held up great for us. With the SSS having 650+HP, we need the stopping power!

Man, I have to say, 650hp is sick! I could have used that on the way back from the beach yesterday, after stopping to let the kids use the restroom East of Raleigh I was getting back on behind a newer Powerstroke and when he saw me comin' he stepped on it and it was all the yukon could do to hang. It is stock of course, but MAN does that give me an itch for some tuning. There just isn't anyone around here that even offers EFI for gassers. I sell EFI for diesels and have a commercial V2, but I am probably gonna wait to tune it until I can get a few other mods installed. If I DID tune it now, it would be for testing and MPG before the mods to have a place to start for comparisons in the future.

Which ones? I don't know if and when the WillWood will be an option and the SSBC BBKit looks just as much.

We have the Big Bites, those and the pads ran for under $800 I believe. I know the EBCs we just got were under $800.

The BBK will run you a bit more no matter what company you go with, especially since they usually come with new calipers as well.
