Need brakes

[psfr311]

what do you guys recommend for a good set of calipers?

stock. Or a big brake kit if you've got money to burn. I hear a lot of guys install the 3/4 ton without much luck.

On another note, I just went through my Hawk pads in 1 year...15K miles. Just ordered the EBC Green Stuff 7000 to try.

i made the mistake of replacing my sticking ones with ones from the auto parts store... they are rusted worse than the originals were and their only 6 months old

The biggest reason I am sticking with the R1concepts stuff has as much to do with affordability as with how they wear. I installed their premium drilled and slotted rotors on my Duramax after my Christmas tree hauling season two years ago. Not only were they the only rotors and pads that EVER survived the next hauling season, I have another 25K miles on them on top of that. I have included a few pics below to bring this into perspective.

A couple of examples of the loads I have hauled with my 3/4 ton Duramax.




This is what the truck use to look like after a 10-15 day hauling season.


This picture is of what the rotors looked like after one last hauling season and two more years and about 25K miles of use.


I'll get pics tomorrow of the Eline series rotors I installed on the Yukon a few months ago, they still look great.


Also, R1concepts has calipers as well and as always, all orders over $99 ship free!

I got the set up pictured below for the back of the Yukon for $154 and change shipped. I'm just sayin'...

Nice rear set up.

How much would an exact front set up cost for a 01 Tahoe?

That same set up for the front was the same, about $150 shipped without any kind of extra discounts. Anyone wanting brakes should also keep in mind that I offer a forum member discount.

This is what the front brakes on the Yukon looked like when installed. I'll get some pics tomorrow in the daylight of how they look now.
