Better Brakes

[F'in-hoe]

This is where I got the info for my brakes as well.
I used all GM parts ppv calipers with HD rotors and ceramic pads. Front and rear.
I ordered my SS lines from Summit for 100. Includes all four corners plus rear rubber over axle. Great deal. I think it is Russell brand.

17 inch wheels will clear the bigger rotors. I just did the swap a few months ago, I used R-1 concepts slotted and drilled rotors and couldn`t be happier with the results. I bought braided lines from R-1 as well but forgot what brand they are.

Have any more pics of your wheels? They look really good.

Hey guys... Guess what I did today....

Got the bigger brakes from a 2008 Tahoe 4x4! I wanted to go bigger, but 14" or 16" rotor kits are a bit pricey... My 2006 GMC Yukon does has the Hydro Boost.

The Rotors are only 1" bigger...





The calipers are beefier too...





Brake Pads are different too...

GMT900



Now for a test drive... I was skeptical the 1" would make a significant difference... But I can hear the front tires crying for traction... The Yukon stops pretty good!!!

More testing to come...

Was this all just bolt on?

Was this all just bolt on?

Yes, Bolt on and go...

Normal braking they are not any grabbier...

But if you step on the brakes it feels like it brakes harder... I can hear the tires chirping, trying to get traction... Tell your passengers to wear their seat belts or they may hit the dash.

The final touch will be a set of EBC Yellow Pads...

Very cool!

I have Wagner rotors and SevereDuty pads on stock calipers and man my passengers already hit the dash when I brake hard!

+1 on the NNBS brakes, calipers / rotors. I installed them quite some time ago and I will say there is a difference regular braking and full on slam on the brakes. The comment about passengers is very true, ask my friend who slammed into the grab bar. ha ha..
