Guys, bringing this back. I can't take the factory brakes on my 02 tahoe much longer. I do a lot of driving for work now and the brakes can get very hairy at times coming down from highway speeds.
GM lists these as for 14+ trucks. Is there any reason this wouldn't work on the 99-07 NBS?
Any comments on Brembo versus the Wilwoods in general? A couple things I've noticed comparing these two is that the Wilwood uses a 2 piece rotor versus 1 piece on the Brembos. The brembos are slightly larger 16.1" vs 16" (insignificant I presume). Also the GM kit looks like a true bolt on. No replacement caliper bracket and uses stock brake hose (wilwood requires their own SS lines).
