GEAR M UP Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 What do those dogs cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plwtwo Posted January 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 If you need to ask, to much!!! Around $3000 plus shipping is usual for the front. But the front kit comes with Stainless Steel lines, 14" Rotors, and loaded Black or Red 6 piston calipers. BrakePros I'll take before and after pics....

m396 #00-011 Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Sweet, now that is a break upgrade. What fluid do you plan to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithl3 Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Not to say it completely compares to the kit you just got, but I am thinking of getting just replacement rotors. Baer makes a 14 inch rotor upgrade that uses the stock calipers, and includes a relocation bracket. They claim something like 20 foot decrease in stopping distance from 60-0!! Not too shabby, they are slotted, and drilled rotors. Stylin concepts has them I think front kit is like $650.00 and rear is $450.00 or maybe the other way around. I think for the inproved braking and looks of 14 inch rotors for only about $1100.00 is a pretty damn good deal if you ask me. Any chance any of you guys have these already???

BenKey Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 Based on input from one of our members, the Baer Eradispeed +1 setup for our trucks, sounds like a waste of money. Looks good, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good, however. Don't waist the money on the rotors. It's an apperance item only when it's not coupled with calipers, pads, fluid, lines, etc.....

BenKey Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Did the kit come with new lines? I might do some brake stuff here soon. I found a place that can do custom brake, fuel, etc... lines. Although Russell already makes them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plwtwo Posted January 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 Yes, Ben it comes with new lines. They are either Russell's or Goodridge's, I'd have to look. Stillen also sales Earl's lines. It comes as a Five line kit. I already have SS lines, so I'm putting these on the wife's Tahoe. They made a little difference, these new GM's Brake Booster softens the pressure to much to get the full effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should give me a little more, which is all I'm expecting. I'm not that unhappy with what GM gave me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
