Yeah check out Baer's Erispeed rotors on Tbyrne's website under trucks-->brakes. Those things look sweet.

Yeah My rotors are warped like a ***** with only 32k miles on em. My 99 Formula had the same problem. I put power slot rotors with hawk pads on and it was perfect ever since. Thinking about doing the same on the truck. The Power Slot rotors I believe are about $400 for the late model trucks and the hawk pads are $90. Gonna have to do something soon, this thing wobbles all over the road with hard braking. MTI is a dealer for most of this stuff mentioned.

I would be interested in a rotor upgrade, maybe calipers.

It seems there is a bit of intrest.

The package will more than likely include slotted and dimpled rotors for the front (OEM replacement type) and aftermarket pads front and rear. I'm still working on getting the matching rear rotors and braided brake line and staying within the same price range.

I'll keep you posted. I have a couple of vendors and one site sponsor interested in making this happen.

As of now I am only at 28k and the brakes work well for stock, even when hauling a couple of tons they stop pretty well and have lots of pad left to go. I would however be interested in front and rear braided lines for around a hundred bucks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> . I am planning to change brake fluid at 30k since it is black as burnt oil.

Be nice if they found something that would at least fit under a stock 17" Tahoe Z71 wheel, for those that don't want to go nuts with wheel sizes. Even thats pushing it for the lifted guys as most of them are still using 15s and 16s.

Yeah I would like to be in for the fronts atleast. I want the eradispeed +1 kit but I would have to buy 18's atleast and well I don't have that much dough to play with. I just replaced my rears so that could be avoided for a little while. Keep us informed. I would be interested in front rotors, pads, and lines.
