I buy these direct from Stoptech. As of right now there are 20 kits available for purchase. However I don't know how long they'll be able to keep selling them to me at this price.
BTW, black is an option as well if anyone is interested.

I didn't want to say anything right away but....
That a rear kit for the Tahoe. They told me it's not for silverados. But it bolts right up. I'm testing them out this week. 15" with 4 piston calipers
If they feel fine, I'm gonna offer a front rear complete kit...

I bought two brand new complete 15" front big brake kits from stoptech. It comes with everything you see in these pictures. ST60 six piston calipers, 15" two piece rotors, stainless lines, mounting brackets, pads, and shims. What's in these pictures is going on my 03 SSS next week. I will take and post plenty of pics when I do it. The second kit isn't even opened yet. Retail is $3400, cheapest I can find this kit online is $2500. I'm asking $1900 firm, shipping is free and none of that PayPal fee BS either. I can get as many of these same front kits as I want. No group buy needed.
If you're interested just PM me.
The kit number is 83.182.6800.71
StopTech Big Brake Kits 83.182.6800.71 - Free Shipping on Orders Over $99 at Summit Racing
I also have the rear kits but the axle play has to be eliminated as these are not floating calipers. It takes a couple hours of your time and about $20 in parts. $1800 for the complete rear kit.both kits $3600 shipped to your door.

So I was thinking about getting the same hood that NipRing has and painting the ram air part silver to match my grilles. I had my buddy who does graphic design for a living photoshop it. What do you guys think? NipRing, I hope you dont mind that he used your photo as a baseline.
Yeah, i freaked out a bit thinking there was another truck like mine that goes to the same car wash!! Awesome job on the photoshop! Black looks pretty badass!
-
The drop is a 3/3. He hood is GoodMark. And I love the lights.
-
I drive mine all year in WI. Wash it every week and twice a week over the winter, but it's worth it.
-
Is the 80 4wd?
Text me 2622715858,
I don't get on here on a regular basis lately, but I'm def interested in the 80 and swap parts.
Thanks
Bill

I think it a wideband. Very helpful for doing the tuning.
-
The 14" SSBC rotors are about $120 each and the wildwood big caliper is about $400. Gonna try and make something work. We don't want any two piece rotors in order to keep the cost down for.
-
I've got a friend who owns a machine shop. He made some brackets for himself to allow his stock vette calipers to use larger rotors. He said he can do the same for me (us?) but he needs a knuckle, caliper, and wheel bearing for a mock-up.

Retired99, at the top of that page where it says Thermostat on top of each column, which is which? 180 on the left 160 on the right? Or vice versa!
Thanks

Thanks! It's a Goodmark hood. 4147-200-032Dang Bill, your v.r. SSS looks gangster as F__K !!!! love the look bro. What hood is that??? I am due a new hood has rust on the front seem from the inside.
Found it new locally for $300 but eBay has them for 300 + 125 shipping. It does nothing but looks badass!
-
Holy shit! Flood damage maybe?
-
If it wasn't an hour away, I'd go check it out for ya.
But, that little rust on the hitch? That ain't shit. 88k after 9 years in WI. My 03 had 110k after 10 years in Chicago. And I still drive it all year round. Even at 160k, I've had nothing but compliments anywhere I go.

I have access to my tune through a friend who has HPTuners but neither of us know what to set the pressure points at.

So i did the fan swap in April. I bought brand new Dorman fan setup on Amazon. I bought the harness from LS1Trucks.com and it went together rather flawlessly. However, i kept blowing fuses. I upped the 30a to 40a but id eventually blow those too. Then i started to notice the fuse holders themselves were melting. Even the relay base plugs were melting. I contacted LS1Trucks.com, but they didn't really offer too much help. I thought it was the fans. I had read some bad reviews but plenty of good ones too. But the bad talked about how much the fans drew and blew fuses. So, i actually got my money back from Amazon and then bought the GM efans. But the harness was in rough shape. So i contacted LS Performance Wiring on Facebook and bought his harness. Beautiful product, superior workmanship. 6 weeks after install i noticed a relay base starting to melt...WTF?? I did some reading, a lot of reading. Turns out one of the most common reasons for this issue...is putting the ground ON TOP of the black bracket that bolts to the alternator bracket, instead of under it
Don't be an idiot like me. I wasted over $100 on that first harness 
Also, temp setting are hugely important. Set them too low and the fans will never shut off.
-
What is the trick to getting them to come on right when the A/C is turned on? When i start up the truck, no A/C until i start moving
-
So is there no way to correct the issue? Sometimes sitting at a light, fans not on, a/c warms a bit till I get moving.
-
First, I did the efan upgrade to my 03. Already had the 145a alternator. My buddy has HP Tuners, we set the temps for the fans, they work great (way louder than I expected them to be on high though). However, I've read a few times that after you start the truck, turn on the A/C one fan should turn on right away. But it doesn't. And I don't understand how to make it. I'm sure it's some setting in the tune but I can't find that info anywhere. Can anyone chime in or put up a screen shot of your settings?
Second, is there any direct replacement muffler that is worth a damn? I have some nice ARH long tubes but they go into the stock exhaust. They sound great when I'm getting on it, but they're too quiet when I'm idling. Down the road, turbos will dump out the sides, so I don't want to invest in a nice catback system. Just looking for a mugger that sounds tough and won't require too much screwing around to put in. Thanks

Make your website with forums. While sport trucks come in dif flavors, there's still a mutual respect for people and trucks that are like minded.

So I upgraded from the clutch fan to a set of electric fans. These are dorman fans, both with 7 blades. I bought them brand new off amazon. I believe they're intended for 07 Tahoe, etc. They fit perfect, they plugged right into the harness I bought from ls1trucks.com. When they're in high, they're a bit loud. But I can deal with that. The problem is, the fans themselves must be drawing a ridiculous amount of amps. I had a 40A and a 30a but the thirty kept blowing. Easy fix, now they're both 40a. At first only the low 40a would blow every few days. But now the weather is getting warmer, they're both blowing every few days. Not just blowing, melting..
I emailed the owner of the ls1truck website who sold me the harness, which is actually really nice btw. All he could say was he can't control what fans anyone uses in aftermarket setups. Fair enough.
Is there any upgrade fan units that fit into the stock shrouds? I'm going broke buying fuses lol
-
What? You guys are crazy. For me, that black stripe kills it on a red truck. Even if my truck wasn't an 03, I'd hunt down the solid red taillights.
