slyder7 Posted September 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 Some one want to make an offer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted September 29, 2010 Report Share Posted September 29, 2010 I would like to make an offer however can you detail a little more? I assume they are just the fronts...or all 4? Are the calipers red, balck, silver or a custom color? Part numbers? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterp Posted September 30, 2010 Report Share Posted September 30, 2010 (edited) The 6S calipers (with 15" rotors) are for the front axle only, the Alumasport PBR calipers (with 14" rotors) are used on the rear axle; if you had 6S calipers on all 4-wheels then the back-end of the truck would have waaayyyy too much braking power than the front and you'd have the rear-end trying to come around you during emergency braking, the ABS would be just going nuts modulating the rear axle. I have the 6S & Alumasport kits on my truck and the rear axle will *just barely* lock-up before the fronts at max effort, it's pretty balanced and I love it. To give you an idea, the rear 14" rotors and PBR calipers were the factory equipment FRONT brakes on the 2000 Z51 C5 track car, that's a lot of stopping power on the rear of the truck and the 6S is a whole league better than the Alumasports! Highly recommend!!! Mr. P. Edited September 30, 2010 by Mr. P. (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 you can get baer 6 pistons for the rear mr p. super sub has them . with an adjustable proportioning valve they can be setup to work great. infact the trucks with factory disk send a bit more to the rear to do the breaking iirc. the later models used drums and larger front rotors which was probably the same proportioning valve. they stop alot better with drums stock vs stock . i have always replaced the rears first on the factory disc trucks as well as the drum disc combo trucks.

At least that is what the guy at sema told me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta call Baer one of these days and get the straight scoop on that. Braking power in the rear - yeah I see what you mean, the replacement pads I have are semi-met and the truck has a totally different feel on braking now, I really gotta put the boot to the pedal to get the same initial bite as before, I think the original pads were full metallic, also because my rear rotors are totally worn away (the slots are gone!) So the SSS has a lot of rear bias. Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
