Hey folks. I've been doing quite a bit of research on brake upgrades for my newish to me 2007 Yukon Denali and from what I've searched, I think I'm going to do the ZR1 Corvette calipers on the 16" disks. I came across this website ZR1 Brake Swap and it looks fairly straight forward. I think that kit will work on the Yukon spindles however, the only thing I haven't been able to confirm is whether or not the calipers will fit behind the 20" Denali wheels without a spacer. Does anyone know if they require some material removal or spacers?
I'm going to do the front first. Then, I'll do the rear. My ultimate goal is to have the appropriate sized master cylinder in addition to going to hydro boost. I had a 3/4 ton 454 Suburban in addition to an old 88 BMW 635CSi both with hyrdoboost and those were the best feeling brakes Ive ever been able to put my foot on. The reason I plan on upgrading brakes is for multiple reasons. The biggest reason however, is I do tow frequently in some fairly curvy roads. I'm also a deputy for a rural agency and on VERY rare occasions I do get called in for emergencies and have to respond POV.
I have the corvette calipers in my cart from Rockauto. Just waiting on a little bit more info before I hit the order button.
