I might have some shopping to do tomorrow

Joe what are you looking for? The GMT 900 set up or big brake?

about $120 for calipers and $100 for lines plus $200 for booster then your choice of rotors n pads. Its worth investment as my 20s with 33s stop hard

Get GMT900 front rotors, pads, and calipers. Then Russell stainless steel brake lines (5 line kit) plus convert to hydroboost. You wont imagine how much difference all that together does for these vehicles. It stops my yukon better then accord.

I did all this with the r1 concepts premium and no calipers and no hydro boost. It cost me $600 going through clkelley on the forum. Thats after our forum discount

I looking for a upgrade of the stock setup. My idea is to put 22's on in the near future. As much as I would love a brembo style setup, I gotta keep in the budget.....also boat shoppin...

ive got r1 concept pads and rotors up front made a decent little difference. im going to use them when its time to do rears.

If you have heavy wheels and tires 20" or larger always go for the larger rotors. I went with drilled & slotted Baer plus 1, 2 piece 14" front rotors with relocation brackets. Mounted them retaining the stock front calipers and factory pads. I didn't change the pads so it took a few hundred miles to re-bed the brake pads to the new rotors but what a difference it made in its initial bite. High speed braking and panic stops is also improved, more stable and consistent. I had plan ordering the Baer plus 1 rears but don't think its needed since most of the braking is in the front. Leverage is a wonderful thing!
