smalltownguy Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Ok yal I really need new brakes well at least rotors and pads but lookin at serious kits from the big names like brembo we r talking 6gs!!! Is it really worth it to by the kits with the awesome calipbers or just spend 800 for the same rotors and ceramic pads but use stock calipers? Am i missin somin altogether as to why the kits cost so so much more??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverado777 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Just do Hydroboost. Stick with stock rotors or slotted. Drilled will most likely crack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JasonHensley22 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I'm going to be going with the Baer Alumnasports eventually. They are $950 per axle and thats pads, drilled & slotted rotors, and nice red calipers. Only thing is they don't come with new lines, which I find odd.

Cramer Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I am with 777 for the most part. Do the hydroboost swap along with some drilled and slotted or slotted rotors and some nice ceramic pads. That is my setup and it can stop the hog pretty damn good. The best upgrade in all of it was the Hydroboost conversion. Huge difference in braking and more control. I will be adding some stainless brake lines to it in the next few months too, and if they help like they have on everything else I have put them on I don't see ever going to a high dollar brake setup.

What brand rotors do u have? Stock size? Part number? And steel lines really needed? Hydroboost i will have to search for and read about but thanks guys... Another set of 15" zo6 brakes just went for sale for 1000 dollars for fronts and I'm kinda likin that idea we will see but thanks Yal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should do a write up on your Hydroboost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ss Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I would look into Wilwood,Brembo and Baer, you get what you pay for. Also do the hydroboost. You can never have enough stopping power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
