looking to uprgrade my brakes and want to try to find the best setup.

Wilwood. 6 piston up front and 4 piston in the rear.

I have the Baer Eradispeed Plus One Rotors with EBC Greenstuff brakes. They are 15 inch rotors up front and 14 inch in the rear with a relocation bracket for the stock calipers. Compared to the stock brake/rotor setup with 24's, there is a significant difference in braking. Other then upgrading to a big brake kit like superchargedss mentioned, the baer kit is large improvement over the stock setup, and can be had for under $1000.

I kept it cheap and went with EBC greenstuff all the way around and can feel a noticeable difference in stopping power.

I went cheaper and got slotted and drilled rotors off of ebay. Noticable difference and worth the money. No problems so far.

This is probably the kit I was looking at a few weeks ago. I think I will be going with that kit on my Yukon when I get my new wheel and leveling kit put on.

I had the baer kit but the caliper bracket was garbage and broke on my truck. Luckily i just pulled in the drive way when it broke. I know of someone else this happened to as well. When i called baer the fella told me that they didnt make the bracket anymore and said good luck (no lie his words). So i bought the wilwood kit. The bracket is 100x better.

Hopefully none of you will have this problem.

Damn that sucks! Had mine on my tahoe for a year in a half since i've owned it, and they were on there for 2 years before me, haven't had any issues other than having to change the pads.

what is your intended usage? For most applications changing to a different compound pad may be all you need. Hawk makes a nice HPS compound pad that offers more bite, gentle wear, and less dust than stock. From there a good DOT 4 or DOT 5 brake fluid change and flush can improve pedal feel and consistency when hot. Brake fluid is hydroscopic so over time moisture will seep into it and degrade the performance and lower the boiling point.

Anyone who has baer eradispeed +1 kit have a problem with the pads not being all the way down on the rotor? I have that problem both front and back. I know the kit was made to be on several vehicles, but this is a real problem for me...
