GMT900 front upgrade, stock rear calipers from my 02 Denali, R1 concepts high carbon slotted rotors all around, Hawks LTS pads on all 4 as well & goodridge ss lines. Pads dust like mad, but overall I have impressive stopping power and good pedal feel when bled well. Scared plenty of passengers with how late I can brake. Hydroboost is on the list but Im satisfied for now.

Yep, I did it at the end of January....I didn't really feel a big improvement on braking for day to day driving, however, I did have to do an emergency stop on the highway one day, that's where they really shined. If my daughter didn't have her seat belt on, it would have put her thru the windshield(or at least cracked it). I order the powerstop kit from rockauto for my pads and rotors, the rotors actually measured 14" but still worked. Everything bolted up just fine. We had to mix and match spacers, i don't remember the measurements we ended up with but it worked. I'll eventually pull the spacers out and measure and make my own one piece spacer. I also have the Tahoe rear brakes on my truck too.....I have a lot more whoa than go now.
