Brake Upgrade. Whats best?

[blueflamed03]

Brakes have always been a problem on my tahoe. I drive aggressively. Is there a big brake conversion for the 98's? Everything I've seen is for the 2k's and newer. I'm running slotted and crossed drilled rotors up front w ceramic pads and stainless lines. They stop better than stock but, could be better. I still have the drum brakes on the rear.

look at Baer?

keep in mind that a big brake conversion may also require a bigger wheel to clear everything. Another option is drive slower?

most of the big brake kits i've seen require 18's to clear the new rotors.

hey does the ABS light stay on when you pull the underhood fuse? i'm sick of seeing that damn thing.

 

[bowtiefreak]

yup, light is still there. I am sick of it too.

LoL just pull the dash and remove the bulb for it.

 

[bowtiefreak]

some day I will. And in the process gut the whole ABS system out.

dang, was hoping it would get rid of the light.

when i finally have time and money to buy/work on the hoe i'll get it tuned and it'll fix the ABS as well. no more light

that or tear it all out and go to the hydroboost conversion. haha

ABS on a lifted truck = fail
