Front Brakes - recommendations?

Yes, if you are running stock sized rims up to 22" rims then these are all you need. However, I would have to recommend that if you are running 24-26' rims then the later model brake parts upgrade may be a good idea. Not only for better braking and overall longevity (The larger size rims add a good bit of weight and overall rolling mass), but also for looks. The stock replacements behind 24-26" rims looks kind of silly...

One last thing though about the later model upgrades for those wanting to do that. When doing it, you can still use the R1Concepts brake parts, just use the year make and model information for the 07 model Tahoe/Yukon and you will have access to all you need for the upgrades.

Cool,
All is stock with truck w/17's. Poking around on there quick i didnt see the rotors u mentioned. Just saw the R1. I did see the brake pads.is there still the theory out there that drill rotor hog the pads out faster?

Did you use the year make and model search? I'm not sure why you wouldn't see the rotors in the products list. However, I have only run the cross drilled and slotted rotors and I have used them in some pretty extreme operating conditions without seeing any of the excessive wear on the pads like some suggest is possible. I think a lot of it has to do with the pads you choose, and with the results I have had with the Posi Quiet pads, I won't personally be trying any others any time soon.

I am going to be working on a couple of trucks today, so I will be on and offline intermittently, but if you send me a private message with your year make and model information along with the type of rotors you are interested in I can help you find exactly what you need. If you also send me your email and shipping address when ready to order, I can send you a Paypal invoice through R1Concepts to ensure secure payment.

Yeah I've had R1 brakes on my 02 impala, 06 silverado, the wife's 04 tiburon and they were amazing on them all
