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

[mbp1979]

Yes they will. The 2015+ K2XX models use the exact same brakes (calipers, pads, brackets, and rotors), as the GMT900.

I just want to verify when I put my big brake kit on my 2015 tahoe I can use everything off it and put it on my 2001 tahoe to upgrade the rotors and calipers?

What do you mean by big brake kit? As in Brembo or Wilwood?

Yes as in wilwood for my 2015 tahoe. I'd like to take all the oem stuff off my 15 and put it all on my 2001 tahoe as a upgrade everything is still the orginal I know I have one caliper bad on the rear it's got over 300000 miles on it.

According to Wilwoods site, the front uses the same parts but not the rears. I would contact them to see what the difference is.

Interesting. Are there any oem big brake kits we can leverage like ctsv brakes being put on everything?

Not that my old pig needs racecar brakes...

Thats a good idea.

That's sexy. Gotta be like $2k+++ all in though right?

I figured someone would figure that swap out eventually

I haven’t priced out zr1 calipers and pads, but it wouldn’t surprise me. The brackets are reasonable-ish and the rotors are oe big brake kit so those can’t be too terrible on price either.

I agree. I’m surprised it took this long and the k2xx big brake kit hasn’t becoming more popular yet.

Yeah, that’s gotta be pretty steep after you source everything. Pretty sweet, but $$$.

Rear brakes on 2001 are better than on 2015. 2 vs 1 piston and the rotors are more massive

True, don’t put the GMT900 rears on the GMT800 because that’s a downgrade.

 

[ncalvo]

I put steel lines in, 07 tahoe rotors and calipers up front, and new 03 rotors and calipers in the rear.
My tahoe stops on a dime now, no pulsating, no early braking. It is a beautiful thing.

 

[CdnDenali]

No complaints yet, though needed a buddy to bleed the ABS with external device.

Rears should be the same. I have the same set up on the 2002 Silverado, had them on the 2005 Escalade (when I sold it), 2011 Crew Cab (converted that from drum to disc), and the 2015 Escalade.

That's also how I've been able to color match the calipers and hats I basically have a full spare set of Wilwoods for any of the listed rides.

All the same parts.

It’s nice to know the rears work on the 2011 pickups since I converted my bagged and bodied 08 to disc. When I decide to do Wilwoods on it they will look nice behind my new billets.

Yes sir. I switched out the drum brakes in order to get the Wilwoods all of the way around. I thought you had already done that. They will look great on that very nice truck of yours.

Just need some time so that I can switch out the Calipers and hats one last time like I did on the 02.

No, I just have Wilwoods on my blown 02 Denali.

 

[Staggered 02]

Oh, sorry. I misunderstood. Installing the Wilwoods on your Crew Cab will be a very nice upgrade and look.

I put Wilwoods on my 02. Then the Crew Cab, the 2005 Escalade, and knew I had to put them on the Escalade when I ordered the intros for it. Below are pictures of the brakes on the 02 Silverado.

Look forward to see them on your truck one of these days.
