I want to improve my braking and was thinking stainless braided cables for the front discs?
Remember I have an '05 so I already have 14" discs and 4 piston (?) calipers. What else can I do to improve stopping without spending too much?

 

Are you saying that 14" rotors and a pistons are stock on the 2005 1500's

 

Yes, the '05 Sierra/Siverado 1500's came with 14" rotors and rear drum brakes. Didn't your CC?
That's why they went to 17" wheels.

 

I never noticed that they looked like 14" rotors. I'll have to take a look soon now because I am wondering?

 

you should have 2 piston calipers trever... not 4

 

Doh!

So back to the original question, are braided lines a good mod and where to get them from? What about pad upgrades?

 

Russel 5 line kit and Hawk HPS pads will make a dramatic difference, and you have 13" rotors NOT 14" rotors.

 

yes braided lines are unbelievable.... and diff pads definitely can add more bit... but could make more noise

 

They should just put braided lines on from the factory...

 

I haven't done enough research to find the best prices, but Thunder Racing has a couple different brands of SS brake lines and summit and jegs sells them.
