07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

[Blue 04 Z71]

They aren't front calipers. When I buy pads I buy them for a 2003 suburban. They are just the SUV dual piston rear calipers

Seriously considering this upgrade after my little accident the other day. Anyone know the best place to get all the parts together?

odd listings for rockauto then.

Can you show specifically what rotors and calipers you purchased?

did you get your abs issues fixed? I'd start there as a big part of that was that your abs did not function correctly.

Not yet. I need to get it checked out though, for sure.

My goal is to pick up some Calipers from a junkyard for the front rotors, and just refurbish them myself, and paint them. Them get some of the 13in powerstop rotors for the nnbs trucks, and some SS lines. Not in a hurry on this though, gonna start browsing the junkyards now that the weather is good enough.

I figured a junkyard would be the best bet. Or people parting out their trucks on craigslist. Are the NNBS pickup front brakes the same as on the SUVs?

Yeah the 05+ trucks with rear drum brakes have the same 13" front rotor and larger caliper as the 07+ suvs

Huh, this whole time I had no idea that the SS had dual piston rears. Looks like according to Rockauto they are just front calipers in the rear!

OrFront Right; Silverado 1500 Base Model; Rear Disc brakes; with Phenolic Piston Caliper; with Brake Code JH2; GM Brake Codes are on the "Service Parts Identification" sticker. (Only 6 Remaining)

The NBS rears are actually better than the NNBS rears. They're dual piston 13". NBS had 12" fronts and 13" rears dual piston. For the NNBS they switched and went with 13" fronts and 12" rears dual piston. So if you switch to the NNBS fronts on your NBS you now have better brakes than the NNBS, 13" front and rear dual piston.

You must run 17" or larger wheels for these front calipers. My 16" steel spare does not fit anymore. Just a FYI

Power stop s4918 calipers for the front
Ac delco 18A1705SD or raybestos 580279per for the 13" front rotors.
Pads for the front I got the power stop z361092



Rear I have OEM ceramic pads on
The raybestos
580165per

Hope this helps
