Big brake kit help needed

[jasonconway5]

Its about time for brakes, but I don't want to waste money on the stock brakes. I have 18" wheels and 285/65/18LT Nitto grappler tires. They are very heavy and make this tank even harder to stop. What's the most inexpensive big brake setup I can get thats going to actually make a difference on my braking distance? Also, has anybody ever gotten a bigger kit then nit be able to find pads? I want to go cheap, but not so cheap the company I buy from closes shop and I'm no longer able to find pads.

Have you looked in to upgrading to the NNBS brakes? The swap requires calipers/brackets (usually sold together), pads and rotors. The current brake lines can be reused but I'd go SS while I'm at it.

what years did they put the dual piston calipers in that are a direct bolt up to my 2000 Tahoe new body style and will the rotors fit it as well?

2007 Tahoe's and up front brakes only keep your rears! Look at R-1concepts. Get their drill and slotted 2007 and up fronts and new 2000-2006 rears that are also drilled and slotted. I'd also do SS brake lines and Hawk pads or EWC


You will need the brake calipers and caliper brackets for a 2007 and up Tahoe

Someone suggested EBC rotors and pads. Anyone tried these?

You can get the caliper brackets at AutoZone also. I think they were $20-$25 ea.
