Brake Upgrade. Whats best?

[SunlitComet]

There are two of us in the thread asking break questions.... the other guy is asking about the ABS. I joined in on the " brake upgrade" side looking at what where the bolt on upgrades for a stock Hoe to improve the stopping distance.

So crossed drilled rotors and semi-metalic pads. Got it.

If you say so.

So I got up to 60. Going down hill and abs kicked in like expected. Stopped pretty well actually. These obs tahoes are big pieces of metal on wheels. Forget how cumbersome they really are. I bet if I had new tires already it would have stopped much sooner.

Well it does not seem apparent you having issues with the ABS just needs to get some better rubber. I am sure once you get some good tires and even some new brake parts in time you will be much happier. And you will probably handle the driveway better.

Thanks for pointing out that I'm "sweating" my driveway haha. Wait until it snows this year. I'll post a pic ;-)

Screw the pictures we want traction tests on HD video.

So should I get big brake upgrade if I have 24's on my truck? I haven't purchased them yet but they are planned. Don't want to crash the truck.

Get yourself a set of these and you will be stopped in no time at all. The might just fit under 24" rims.
