07Burb's SLOW "build up"

that shock should have the same comrpessed/extended length you were looking at. if @07Burb would put these things on you could see how they sit

Hoping to do it soon. Just need to decide if I’m going to do hubs and brakes while I’m at it or just throw the coilovers on and do the other things later on

Welp, I went ahead and bit the bullet and ordered new brakes (rotors and pads) and hub assemblies. I just couldn't stomach being in there and not doing it all. The R1 Concept drilled and slotted rotors I have on it now are about 6 years old anyway so it was time for those (I think) although the pads aren't all that old. The hubs are about 3 years old. None are making weird noises or acting up but I like to stay ahead of the curve if I can with stuff like that so now's as good a time as any. So as soon as those arrive at my door I'll replace those along with throwing the coilovers in. I cannot wait for this upgrade! I'm very anxious to feel the difference these will make!

For the Brakes I went with the Power Stop Z23 kit

For the hub assemblies I went with Moog this time. I've used Timken for years and they are good but just wanted to give Moog a shot this time. Hopefully, I don't regret it.

Should ride sweet. I put the same Z23 kit on my Tahoe. They still look and work good considering the tank they are slowing down, just wish they were bigger.

I know that when I upgraded to the R1 Concept rotors there was a big improvement in performance over stock so my expectation is that these will be as good or maybe slightly better than the R1's. Definitely should get us ready for road trip season once the weather breaks. We seem to take a few family road trips each year during the warm months and I like the piece of mind knowing that the Burb is in the best shape I can get it before all that happens and then just hope nothing unexpected breaks LOL

That's why mine went to the shop this week for the tires and once over while it was on the lift. He said the brakes were great and now that the alignment is dialed in and fresh meats, we should be good for all that we can control at this point.

Excited to see your impressions of the coil overs. Maybe some "extra" suspension cough cough 1-2" drop in there....for maintenance purposes of course. Move along...nothing to see here...
