Anyone know if there are useful upgrades from the 05 to the braking system that can be fitted on an 04, like proportioning valve or booster upgrade?

I have the 05 fans on my 03 SS.

I've had them on for a couple of months without any problems.

They also put forth the reasoning that the rear brakes only do about 20% of the braking so you really don't gain that much with discs.

From personal experience on an '03 silverado the 4 wheel disc suck. After accumulating miles the brake feel faded, spongy soft and no pedal feel. At 11k I took it in to complain and was told "nothing wrong we can see, they all feel like that". Last time I troubleshoot for them. At 14k mi. all four of the discs were turned. Pedal feel is better now but still not what I would expect.
