Tony.. We've had ours on for about 6-10 months or so and I can tell you that when you really need to stop, the performance is unreal. My wife absolutely loves them. Wouldn't think of not using them on any other vehicle we own. Precious cargo on board, so dropping the cash on these brakes was more of an insurance policy for us than anything else. Plus they look effin badass! :D

ive installed them here locally just never hear back from the guys.. i guess thats a good thing i put them on right lol.

i think with 24 inch escalade wheels and these brakes with a 2/3 drop will be perfect on a 305 35 24.

KMeloney just bought a set of fire extinguishers for his Tahoe as well. Although he's a bit far from installing them, I'm sure he'll be another one with a big shit-eating grin on his face. :D

We have heard nothing but good things from our customers who bought them.

This thread could turn into a big love-in since everyone on it so far has been a big help in the way my truck is going to look soon. Robbie steered me toward the Wilwoods -- and to Jenna/Justin as the best place to get them -- and Tony just sent me spindles (which are on the truck for delivery today).

So, thank you all! And Tony, I'll have that brake set-up on my truck shortly (I hope!), but with factory 22"s. Let me know if you have specific questions about the set up, and I'll let you know what I can (when I know it).

was our problem with the Asanti's we had, then we had to order a true custom 3pc wheel to clear the calipers. No problems since. :D
