Just read through some very informative threads on the NNBS brake upgrade retrofit.

In the process of sourcing all of the necessary parts, I stumbled upon this entire kit, and wondering what everyone’s thoughts are:

Power Stop (KC2069) Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Kit with Calipers, Front https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KT5BR4O/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_tai_6Ug5EbP3XC4J7

This kit includes everything necessary for the upgrade (even the shims), except for the stainless steal brake lines.

Does anyone have an idea of ow this kit would compare to the AC Delco NNBS retrofit kit?

I have an 05 denali xl. I'm looking into the same info as you. I find these to be the best so far from what I've read.

I've had nothing but good experiences with everything power stop ive used so far. my tahoe got the hd version but its only the fronts. my civic i did the rear disc swap and bought the si kit with the ss lines. ive used them on another civic i had and a pontiac g6. my neighbor has me put them on his vehicle now also. ill probably get powerstop stuff on my mountaineer when its ready for brakes.

My 3 month old install of the Powerstop- 'Evolution' front rotors/calipers..... rear powerstop pads only ...and Russell Performance S.S. lines....
I like it. Better feel at the brake peddle. I have more confidence if I need heavy braking / towing.
The kit installs just like factory. ( No surprises)

( Your Rockauto price is very good!! )

I love my powerstop setup on my 07. I noticed a pretty good upgrade on braking compared to my stock setup and the rotors last longer than any rotors i get at the local auto parts store.

Interesting. So you had the NNBS stock front brakes that is NBS guys put on our trucks, and you noticed a difference in the Power Stop setup being even better?
