Power stop rotors and pads

[Doubeleive]

I recently installed some high carbon rotors and the G2 carbon fiber pads from autozone, work like a freaking champ, like stop on a half a dime literally. the only caveat is they do make dust, but I plan on putting on some dust guards to help eliminate that issue, I drive pretty hard so good brakes usually only last me about a year, the oem ones lasted me only 6 months. carbon fiber is what they put on drag racers so cant go wrong there.

Wow I'm glad I saw this. My rotors and pads literally came in today and I shipped the pads right back to Amazon thanks to this thread. I honestly bought the rotors for looks and the pads for maybe a little more stopping power for the 33's. Kind of scary that they're marketed as "tow" brake pads.

I'm interested in how the brake lines work out for you, I've never done stainless lines on any of my vehicles.

Basically after doing my lines the brake pedal feel is like pumping your brakes with the truck off. It’s that stiff all the time, the pedal does not fade and sink when you apply the brakes.

Phew I almost ordered the power stop kit, ordered from r1 concepts instead, do you guys have the brake line kit part number?

Depends on the truck.

Ok so here goes with the new goodridge stainless lines installed today.We started at the back center line,came off easy and installing easy.When went to tighten down steel line to the new stainless the threads were not long enough to tighten the flare on the fitting.We imediatley stop and call goodridge they give me a number of a guy to call.He tells me possible fitting is different on some models-what it doesn't say that anywhere-this kit is for any 00-06 tahoe without stabilitrack.He recomends he sends me a few copper washers to put on the fitting.WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT-i hung up instantly.So we cut the steel line and install a longer fitting-flare the end and were all good.The other lines went on no problem.Fit and finish seems good on the lines , routing the fronts was a tad different.So after bleeding and test drive i can say yes on the pedal feel.Alot firmer stops and barely touching the pedal now the tahoe starts to stop no mushy ********.SO my suggestion if you want a sold firm pedal do the stainless lines before trying to upgrade everything.Oh and make sure if your doing it your self on your back you have a flare tool and longer fitting for the center rear line unreal P.S make sure you can lower your spare tire,it will have to be lowered to get to the rear line to cut and flare.

Great information, thank you for the follow up. That really sucks that the line had to be modified, I would be furious coming across that mid-process.
