Re: Brembo Brakes
CHeck with SSBC (Stainless Steel Brake Corp). They make some good brake packages for a better price.
I installed a setup on my 99 Tahoe when I upgraded from 31s to 35s. The change definitely saved me from wrecks on more than one occasion.

Re: Brembo Brakes
INHO Brembo's are the Lamborghini of brake systems out there. I had a set on my corvette that was pushing 520 rwhp NA. The were very impressive to say the least. However Brembo isn't the only option out there for big brake kits. If i were to do it over, i'd be looking into the Wilwood kits as they are 1/2 the price of brembo at $3200 and in my opinion built just as good.
Additionally, Baer makes some good kits as well, but im not to familiar with any applications they might have for the trucks. I know they have some 4 piston setups, but i assume you're looking at a 6 pistion upgrade.
Check them out!

Re: Brembo Brakes
Well, after doing some research on the internet, I ended up getting Bembo's after all. I can't believe I spent the bucks on brakes, but the place I have been having work done, had a set of Gran Turismo's from last year so he gave me last years pricing which is significantly less that what these things are costing today..Must be making them out of gold today. 8 pistons in front, and 6 in rear. It definitely does stop you and very smoothly I must say. Anyway, I am very happy so far. A very noticible improvement over the originals. Went to beach this morning to take a picture or two and unfortunately the camera died (xxx*** batteries)after taking one picture at 5 megapixels which I can't post.. I will try again tomorrow. ps it also completes the tire, wheel look..

Re: Brembo Brakes
Wouldn't it have been a lot cheaper to just paint the OEM brakes red?  |
