TYLERTXSS Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I can get this kit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BAE-2301028/ for 475 shipped or do the hydroboost setup...would I see enough improved braking with the brake kit to not really need the hydroboost? My 06 stops like absolute shit! Like border line not safe imo.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_aSSet Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 I'd do the hydroboost, cheaper, and never heard anything but good stuff, I need to do the hydroboost soon too, same crappy brake problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bag Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) Hydroboost, I have not done it yet but driven in a few of the SoCalers truck that have and wow what a difference. Your 06 already has the upgraded brakes and lines. Edited December 27, 2011 by Bad Ass Silvy (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudy91040 Posted December 27, 2011 Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Both the hydroboost and larger/aftermarket rotors will give you shorter stopping distance but the hydroboost won't help with brake fade. Hydroboost will be the less expensive choice and its a noticeable difference in stopping distance. The rotors will shorten your stopping distance as well. look cool and help with brake fade since it has a larger surface area and better cooling than the stock rotors. If you want to upgrade to larger rotors but stock calipers I would go to the 15" rotors for a couple of reasons. You get even more stopping power, they look wicked and if you ever wanted to upgrade to the Z06 calipers you already have the rotors. Either way it be an improvement over the stock brakes. If you decide to go with the Baer rotors, get a hold of supersub on here. He has really good prices on Baer stuff. Also, the 2-piece rotors do look bitchin but they cost more than the 1-piece rotors if you didn't already know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cramer Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 I have both done on mine and the Hydroboost was the best upgrade by far! It is actually the best upgrade I have done to the truck period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
