[AtomicHoe094]

i want SS lol i want alot of things, but time will heal that.. and i just replaced all my lines

 

[roadrageror]

50 bucks cheap cheap! LoL.

I put some on my Tahoe when I upgraded my brakes, the all around braking ability is phenomenal!

 

[AtomicHoe094]

it really improves that much?? i didnt think it was a "drastic" change.. but maybe maybe one day.. hehe

 

[JennaBear]

Well I changed out my rotors, pads and lines all at once (hence the upgrade).

 

[AtomicHoe094]

oo i gotcha.. Yea im sure that all helped out a lot! do you have bigger calipers or anything on your truck? im worried with my supercharger and "factory" brakes and such it wouldnt be too wise..

 

[JennaBear]

Stock calipers, I was debating on a BAER Eradispeed +1 since I have larger wheels/tires but figured I would give this set up a chance. Hawk Pads, R1 Concepts Premium Rotors, SS brake lines.

 

[AtomicHoe094]

what size rims do you have? i have pretty much stock rims 16inch, so idk if getting huge calipers and rear disc is really worth it.. any thought for me? Ive been "building" up a motor and should carry high high 400s low 500 hp. whats your advice to me here? lol

 

[JennaBear]

20" wheels 33" tires

 

[AtomicHoe094]

thats it.. no advice boooo!!!!

 

[JennaBear]

Well honestly what motor are you planning on running to get those numbers? I don't think you need to worry so much about your drums and calipers especially since the rear doesn't matter all too much. The front end is where the majority of your braking will occur.

 

[haks310]

Yeah, and running 16" wheels and do not think you will be able to run larger rotors. If you are planning on keeping those wheels then upgrading to quality rotors and pads along with SS lines would be good. There is also the HydroBoost install.

Got my SS brake lines today hope to get them in this weekend !!

 

[mickbozard]

bowtiefreak, you got a pic of which fuse to pull? or is it pretty straight forward on the fuse box legend which one it is ? thx ****

 

[haks310]

[mickbozard]

Hey BowTieFreak i pulled the fuse, woooohoooo ! you right it does work HA ! THANKS bigtime, cya ****

Jenna: How are you liking that set up? Did you get the premium slotted and drilled or just the premium slotted? I have a set of hawk hps pads, r1 premium slotted rotors, and goodridge ss lines sitting in my living room waiting for spring break to put them on my tahoe.
