did brakes all the way around on a suburban the other day and noticed it had dual piston calipers, same size, front and rear.....

rotors looked the same as on my 02 truck so i was wandering if switching to suburban brakes would help me stop me and my dads boat any better? i am sure i can find some at salvage so it seems a cheep upgrade that i dont have to go aftermarket to get better stoping....thanks for the replies!!

 

If I am not mistaken, Scream did the 2 piston conversion on the rear of his truck. I think you also need the rotor as something was different.

 

cool, thanks for the reply. anyone know whats different??? do i need the rear rotors as well? it seemed to me that the emergency break stuff was all the same LOOKING i dont know about working....

 

I think if I recall my rear brakes had dual pistons...

 

mine are single piston.....i was thinking of swaping to the duals in the back and poss. a hydro-boost setup, a solid braking foundation for future engine mods that will have less than optimal vacuume...and it is all "stock" equipment....

 

the e-brake shoes are dif!I would recomend just going with baer +1 eradispeeds.they Really work

 

cool, thats what i needed to know thanks!

 

Ive done a suburban brake swap on the rear of myn... Helps out alot.... You need the calipers, rotors (alot thicker and disipate the heat better), and the caliper brackets. The e-brake shoes are the same. Thats it...

 

What about to put them on a truck that came with rear drums? Will the master cylinder withstand it?

 

i was thinking the e-brake looked the same as my truck. thanks for the reply, maybe i will end up doing this after all.....

and also like stated above was the master cylinder able to handle the extra 2 pistons ok??
