had a semi close encounter with a mazda tribute that spun out in front of me this morning at 70 mph and decided to go ahead and install the front kit today after class. Rear eradispeed +1 kit is on order.

Truck is a 2000 NBS Tahoe 2wd with a 6" RCD lift kit on 20x12 moto metal 962's and 305 55 20 trail grapplers.

Parts include:
Baer Eradispeed +2 Two Piece Rotor Kit for Front (P/N 2301028)
EBC Green Stuff 7000 Series Brake Pads for Front (P/N DP71304)
Russel Stainless steel brake line kit for 4-6" lifted tahoe (P/N 695560)

Also picked up a brake pad spreader, crc brake caliper synthetic grease and crc brake disc quiet.

Pictures

All the goodies together (1 rotor not pictured)


old and busted vs new hotness


using factory calipers so the pads stick off the rotor just a smidge. shouldn't be a problem though



also had to do a slight bit of grinding on the caliper bracket and part of the spindle to get it to sit just right where i wanted it. no big deal though as i figured i might have to using the RCD aftermarket spindles.

all finished up



Now just waiting on rear parts

Baer Eradispeed +1 (P/N 2302037)
EBC Green Stuff 6000 series pads (P/N 61635)

i'll get better pictures later. but just from a quick drive around the block, braking feels MUCH MUCH better. need to break them in/put miles/break in procedure till i can post up results on how these really do.

here's a pic of the truck when she was clean


i'll upload more pics when she's clean again and the rear is done. thanks

 

what size rim do you need to clear the caliper?

 

looks like its 18'', but even with your 20 its looks close

 

yeah i believe 18's or bigger are required. baer has specific measurements that you can print out to make 100% sure since every rim is different. i'm also using factory calipers so i've got plenty of room

 

nice. i was just looking at this kit the other day. good to see a positive review.

although z06 vette brakes would be sweet too.....

 

yeah a guy makes adapters for the z06 calipers that will work perfectly with this rotor. might do that or just do the alumasport calipers in the future.

also just realized i had the wrong part numbers for the rear pads. they should arrive tomorrow so gotta see about sending them back and reordering the correct part number

also been getting **** about doing the ebc pads. did quite a bit of searching and found a lot of positive reviews about them hence the reason i went with them. some guys on gmfs gave me **** about them saying hawks and some other brands were so much better. who knows whats what. can't please everybody i guess.

 

i've used hawks in the past on a lot of different projects with great results, so thats what i would go with.

however, i have heard a lot of really good stuff about ebc pads too, so i dont see any problem with using them.

 

I know this is mad old but thats a lot of rotor surface left unused.

 

I have EBC yellow stuff pads all the way around on my truck (mods in sig). I love them. The rears seem to squeak a little at times but I haven't had a chance to look into it. As far as stopping goes they bite great cold and hot. I haven't noticed any fade when hot or when towing my roughly 3000 lb trailer. The only issue is the yellow stuffs are not a low dusting pad so rim cleaning has become a more common task.

Break the pads and rotors in and let us know what you think!

EDIT I just realized how old this thread was. LOL. Oh well.

 

I have the +1 kit on my 03 1500 silverado with 6.5 BDS lift and 35" MTs and they work GREAT! 1 of the best upgrades I have put on the vehicle, well worth the $$$$$ IMO
