Alright gents, I'm looking to upgrade my brakes on my '05 AWD SS. As it stands I'm looking to get the Power Slot Plus Brake kit (PN 29-8690) for the fronts but before I do I have a few questions.

  1. Are there 14" Powerslot rotors available for the '05 for the rear? If so, whats the PN?
  2. Do you need relocations brackets if upgrading the rears to 14" rotors?
  3. I'll most likely go with the hawk pads since that seems to be the norm and I havent heard any complaints about them. Does anyone have PN's for front and rears?

For more insight, I'm looking to do an upgrade on a budget. My original plan is to buy the above kit for the fronts and purchase the rears seperately. It seems I would save some $$$ that way. This of course is in lew of buying a full kit for all 4 corners from Baer or other mf for over 2k. one of my fears in buying the rears seperately is that Powerslot doesnt make a 14" rear and I would have to buy from another manufacturer. I dont know how that will affect performance/proper wear, drive, and overall feel. Also I'm not sure if I'll need new brackets for the rear as well.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

 

Thanks for the help.

The rear rotor part # is 29-8694. Make sure when you order that you get the kit, not just the rotor because you will need the relocation brackets too.

 

 

Thanks for the help. 1 more question, If I upgrade to 14" rotors up front do I have to do the rears at 14" as well or can I use OEM stock replacements from Powerslot? What will this affect if anything?

No you do not have to upgrade the rears, it will not affect anything :thumbs:

Great! Thanks. Until I get some more cash I'll go with the 14" kit up front and stock OEM's from Powerslot in the rears. I apreciate the help my friend!

I'm not arguing with you, but aren't these the thinner 18.5mm rotors for the single piston calipers on the regular trucks? I didn't think PowerSlot has a + size kit for the dual piston 1500 series trucks that take a 28mm thick rotor.

:confused: Not really sure about that, good point Bear.
