Brake Kit for 09 Tahoe?

[Sixpixels]

Hey guys,
So i just did a 2/3 Belltech drop and threw on my 24's. Rides real good def some rubbing. I noticed the braking lags a little with the bigger wheels. Any opinions about going with a bigger brake kit? Is it worth it? And recommended brands to go with vs. stay away from?

They are nice but they do cost a lot. Here's my Wilwood's that I purchased used off this forum.

Big brakes are big $$$. Im trying to save some money so I am going to do this:

If you need more stop you can always add some Hawk pads and some SS brake lines.

The only BAD thing I can see is the rotor is one piece. I had a tahoe with the powerslot kit and the rotors were 2 piece.... It would stop those 24's on a DIME

You can get a baer brake kit for about 1150 an axle. and installed for about 300. Not too bad for what you get.

Baer has a 15" 2 piece rotor upgrade for about $600 for the fronts and includes relocating brackets for your stock calipers.

SSBC has a 14" rotor upgrade kit and relocation bracket for you stock caliper. Can't recall the price.

I just ordered this kit:

http://www.4wheelparts.com/Brakes/F...5&t_s=23&t_pt=6401&t_pl=9976&t_pn=SSBA126-37R

found a 10% off coupon, which made it a little more bearable. My decision was based on a few things:

-My denali XL has the 20" rims, but I still want to be able to use my spare if necessary. These are size up discs, but still allow for an 18" wheel.

-I'm not looking for bling, just stopping power, as we tow a boat. The stock brakes are one of the few things I've not been impressed with on my ride. This should remedy that, and I don't see the need to spend the same dough for the rears when the fronts handle approx. 80% of the stopping power.

Will report back once done...

just talked to powerslot and they said that they are coming out with 2-piece rotors really soon but they couldnt give me a date. they also wouldnt tell me a size but i am guessing 14" or 15". but 2-piece is def the way to go and if you cant afford a $4,000+ BBK then i think this may be the way to go
