No, there were others.
Brembo was a tad more expensive and had heard some concerns about running 8 small pistons versus 6 large ones.

Baer were next, but I didn't like the rear 2 piston setup.

AP forged were next on my list, but I think they had a wider caliper which would have caused more clearance concerns for her wheels.

My friend is a wilwood dealer and installs them all the time. Spoke highly of them and I've seen them used alot lately, so we went with that.

Couldnt be happier! :)

A lot of valuable information here. Thanks. This thread has made me want to get a BBK so bad... Baer Brembo and Wilwood are in my top 3 but I think you just swayed me to the Wilwood side.

They weren't THAT much bro. I have a friend who owns the white Tahoe from COR wheels on 26s who is looking at doing these brakes with white calipers. That would look insane!

Yea white calipers would look pretty crazy. White or Red for me... I know I won't be able to decide that one until I actually pull the trigger. This is a pricey mod :emotions122:

If I remember correctly, I think Wilwood had the largest rotor too at 16". I think all the others were 15". Not that it mattered, but it was personal preference as to the biggest rotor for the buck.

I'll have to get some rolling shots this weekend. Looks awesome rolling on the 4s down the road. :)

Looks sick. But you need to get the rears done ASAP.. Having those huge brakes on the front and the puny little rear one piston brakes. I am still looking to either put the Z06 calipers on the front of mine or just get the Extreme Calipers from Baer. But really looks sick. I can't wait for my wife to get her Range Rover and that will have the brembo setup on it already and then throw some 24's on that ****** and cross my fingers she doesn't mess up the rims.

Yes sir! :salute:

We are waiting a week or two before we order the rears. I gotta recoup some funds from my other project before I order them up. Plus im trying to get them for the wife's birthday in may....

Also, i think the rears might be 2 piston? Wilwood gives a different part for 1 piston and 2 piston rear caliper replacements...
