silverss05 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 I'm pretty sure that I need to break down and buy new brakes since my stock brakes are starting to make noise. How much can I look to spend on a big brake package installed? Id rather not pay expensive dealer prices for brakes when I could get a big brake kit for about the same price or a little more. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 well there are many brands to choose from, well the big brake kit is gonna be ALOT more than s stock brake job, over 3K just for the fronts! but also depends on how many pistons you want on the calipers too. one of my favorite kit is the STOPTECH brake kits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 expect to pay alot. big brake kits are not cheap . for a big brake set like baer alumasports expect to pay like 2k for front and rear. or even bigger baer claw 6 pistons are almost 3k for front alone. the go higher from there.

silverss05 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 How are the Baer Eradispeed +2 in the front and +1 in the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 any brake upgrade will be better than stock, are you just talking about the rotors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverss05 Posted February 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 At this point I'm thinking just rotors yes and of coarse some brake pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evallejo Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Won't be as good as upgrading your calipers as well, but it's a good upgrade regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 actually it would be better to do the calipers and ss lines too, if you had RWD you wouldnt have to worry about the calipers just the rotors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 If you want to upgrade the front brakes, are AWD, and are on a limited budget, Power Slot makes a Big Brake upgrade kit for the fronts. It includes the upgraded caliper brackets and 14" Power Slot Rotors.........the kit goes for around $400 for the front minus the pads. All you have to do is change the rear rotors to Power Slots (around $100 each), get some stainless lines and Hawk pads all around and you will be in good shape. Total cost for 1 big brake kit, 2 rear rotors, 2 sets of pads, and stainless lines should be between $800-900. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverss05 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Fireman31, Did you do the 14" rotors in the front and the back? Do you like the set up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman31 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) Fireman31, Did you do the 14" rotors in the front and the back? Do you like the set up? Power Slot only offers that upgrade for the fronts.....I have the stock size 13" Power Slots on mine since I have rear drums........the 14" front upgrade kit will only fit AWD SSSs, I am RWD.

Fireman31 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I've never heard 14" wont work for us RWD guys....why not? The AWD SSSs have different front calipers, it wont work for us according to Power Slot's website...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILLS04SS Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) Will the Powerslot Plus's fit our AWD trucks front and rear or just the Powerslots? And has anyone used the Cryos?
