Default On the fence about SSBC brakes? Do It!!!

I just swaped the brakes on the front of my wife's Yukon XL with SSBC 14" rotors, their 3 piston calipers, pads, and stainless lines. WOW!!! Her truck stops so much better than ever before. I also have the kit for the back but since her truck is had the 2 piston rear calipers I have the wrong pads and brackets. I just thought I would share the first impression with her pgraded brakes, it is unreal.

Nice, I contemplated them a while ago on my project, but soon found Wilwoods 16" rotors!

Why does a Yukon have hydroboost and the 1500's do not. Makes no sense.
