SUV two piston caliper upgrade
Well after going around with my brake supplier on them sending me the incorrect rear rotors, I just went ahead and purchased everything else I needed to utilize the SUV rotors they sent me. Well after getting the new brackets and new two piston calipers and installing my S.S. brake lines and new rotors/pads this thing stops like a dream. There is definately a noticable difference in the braking in the rear of the truck with the new two piston calipers. Overall my front brake temps. have even dropped considerably due to the better overall distribution of braking force.

My 03 SS has 2 piston calipers all the way around. Also mine had the larger rear rotors stock...the only bitch was that they cost $100 each vs the $55 each for the smaller ones.
