Bought them from a member. They were 1-piece and I think discontinued. You can get Summit 14" rotors too for cheap.

 

got ya got ya you was it pre 05 tho or order according to caliper?

 

Will 05 Tahoe Z71 rear brakes clear a 16 inch wheel?

 

I have an 04 ss with these "big fancy brakes" and they actually are one of the least desirable parts of the truck. Does anyone know why these trucks don't have a firm brake pedal? We hop in my wife's acura and I nearly throw us through the windshield because I am used to spongebob squishy brakes. I bled my 99 with a vacuum bleeder and they both are way softer than i would want. Is it the abs system? Feels like the pedal is spring loaded when the abs activates in the winter.

 

Have you had a the brakes bleed through the abs module with a scan tool??? It pulses the abs and brings the pedal up and down while you press on the brakes. It usually makes a big difference vs just bleeding them normally.

 

I have not, the ss should have never been touched from the factory but my 99 has been changed however has not been bled with a scan tool. Suppose I will just google for the procedure.

 

You need a scan tool with the bi directional capabilities like a tech2. Not sure what aftermarket tools have that ability. It's called automated bleed procedure.

 

that's interesting.. I might have to give that a shot...


BTW, I did the 14" Baer eradispeed plus 2 rotors on my last truck, and didnt touch the pads or calipers and It was one of the best brake upgrades I've ever done. I could have done w/o the 14" rears(keeping in mind using a stock size spare tire/wheel) to save some money... I think you can get matching rear rotors in the smaller size.

 

So If I have 16" wheels, I can't run the bigger calipers, not even the rear Tahoe ones?

 

You can run the Tahoe rear dual caliper with a 16" wheel, but the 05+ front caliper and rotor require a 17" wheel at least.
