Well honestly what motor are you planning on running to get those numbers? I don't think you need to worry so much about your drums and calipers especially since the rear doesn't matter all too much. The front end is where the majority of your braking will occur.

Yeah, and running 16" wheels and do not think you will be able to run larger rotors. If you are planning on keeping those wheels then upgrading to quality rotors and pads along with SS lines would be good. There is also the HydroBoost install.

Jenna: How are you liking that set up? Did you get the premium slotted and drilled or just the premium slotted? I have a set of hawk hps pads, r1 premium slotted rotors, and goodridge ss lines sitting in my living room waiting for spring break to put them on my tahoe.
