Well, they're on...alittle upset though. Come to find out the GMC decladded wheels hit the calipers face. Had to go out and buy spacer plates. Took a 1/2 inch to clear. Monday I'm going down to a local wheel shop and having customs spacers made that are hub centric.

Other then that, the pedal is the firmest I've ever felt on a truck. Only thing I've felt more firm is my dads corvette brakes. Have to season the rotors then bed the brakes. So no heavy braking for a week. Install was pretty straight forward if you have any mechanical abilities. Thanks to Rudy for the caliper brackets with supplied hardware, fit perfectly. Not a very cheap swap, but definitely worth it for the looks and added stopping power.

 

Did you do the rear as well?

 

No i didnt. i have drums for now.

 

That's cool that you got the results with just the fronts.

I've been thinking about doing the same myself (just the fronts) but as you said this isn't exactly a cheap mod. It's probably $1300-1400 or so all said correct?

 

what circumference are the Rotors? Curious to cost also. I ahve wilwoods kits on my trucks, but curious to see the cost savings

 

theyre a 15 inch rotor from Baer. And ill give you a brake down

Calipers (2 fronts) - $685 brand new on Ebay for the pair
Caliper Pins -$20 on Amazon
Rotors - $272 Each on Summit
Caliper brackets - $150 from Rudy
Brake Pads (Hawk Hps 1 piece) - $200 on Summit
Custom made wheel spacers - $150

Now, you can save money with rotors and pads. I like to spend a little extra and get what i know ill like. I like to do it right the first time. I already had SS brake lines so im not gonna add that into the cost.

 

so cheaper then my 3000$ wilwood kits lol

 

That's not apples to apples.

The front Wilwoods are $1900 which saves around $400 over the z06 brakes. But they're also superior and are direct OEM replacement whereas the z06 swap makes take a bit of fitting or spacers.
