omg. you guys are great. didnt notice those were for the rear. thanks for the heads up!
btw: my understanding is my rears are the larger diameter anyways (2006 YXLD). i'll be replaced with 2006 rotors and pads. the fronts are where i want to go with NNBS 13" rotors and pads.... and SS lines hopefully. thanks again all.

That's what we are here for

So I talked with a local parts store about getting the front calipers today they asked me if I wanted the calipers with spread fingers or without..... :wtf:

Anyone have any input on that. I am pretty familiar with working on this truck now and other vehicles, I have been doing it for years now but I have not heard of this. Or if I have I may have heard it called as something else lol.

I thought she was flirting with me lol

When you said Her it made me think you should have gotten that number lol, but it seems to be a thing. We do have spread fingers as they separate the pad from the caliper. I think it's better referred to as "hardware".

Thank you. I have heard of it called hardware lol and I might have if I wasnt married lmao
Lol good man..me too..do they even get numbers anymore?! She probably would have said check her Instagram or something.

If the price difference is a few dollars that's what it's got to be.

On my past Yukon XL I ra: 14" rotors front and back then their 3 piston calipers in the front and their brackets to relocate the rear rotors. Can anyone compare this upgrade to that?
