Performance Brake Upgrade Question

[Conor]

I'm really leaning on simply upgrading the rotors in the rear to the SSBC upgraded rotor kit and keeping the stock calipers. I'm still running stock 20s and biggest I would go is 22in.

I would also suggest upgrading your brake lines to braided stainless steel.

Got that covered for the fronts but totally agree for the rears as well. That's on the list.

I am running the SSBC caliper relocation kit up front with 14" rotors stock rotor/caliper out back, Hawk ceramic pads all around and the difference is night and day over stock even with my 33" tires.

Anyone running the upgrade SSBC kit on 26's..? I'm trying to figured out if it would clear the offset in the rims..I would like to do the whole kit including calipers and all unless it really makes no difference..

go 4 it, especially if they are going to show through whatever wheels you get. i dont know much about the performance. i have powerslot rotors and hawk pads. i did the front 1st then a few months later the rear. there was a noticable difference once the rear was done. i was coming from a x5 which had killler brakes. 1st mod i did to the tahoe was the brakes as they used to scare the crap outta me.

macky, I got to agree with you...my wife has a Audi Q7 with Brembos(6piston front 4piston rear) and it amazes me that GM puts on average brakes especially since they really stepped up the rest of the truck.
