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

New ACDelco calipers are cheap, might as well get new so you know they're going to last. Never know what kind of shape the junkyard ones are in.

That's a good point, although calipers are pretty simple to rebuild. Might be better to just buy new.

Thanks for the replies.

HenryJ in that thread got it all at NAPA for about $405. Those rotors look killer so I'll probably get those. Any brand on those lines?

That`s a good price, When i did the upgrade i spent just over $500 for four rotors new calipers pads and SS lines up front.

So this is a worthwhile upgrade? My front brakes started grinding.

yes

most of these vehicles at this point should probably have their calipers and rotors changed anyways. Might as well go for a bigger setup. No real cost difference. If you have access to junkyard parts even better.

If you want better stopping power then yes it is.

FYI, the Calipers are $45 on Amazon right now with a rebate code.

That rebate has been up for awhile. Its a core rebate so it's always there i think.
