Brake upgrade

[Antonio757]

I have a 2002 Chevy Tahoe with stock brakes, rotors, and calipers. Outside of the stainless steel braided brake line what else can I do to upgrade my braking system?

I was just discussing this with my co worker.
Hydro boost master cylinder swap if you want to take away the spongy brake pedal
07-18 rotors and calipers/pads are bigger then the 99-06 and is a direct bolt on replacement but you need 17” wheels to clear unless you run wheel spacers.
Stainless lines like you already stated helps as well.
I got the powerstop and the Callahan drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads and I’m happy with them

Thanks I appreciate the help!!

Long thread here about using the newer 4 piston calipers from the trucks/suv's: https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/4-piston-big-brake-upgrade-from-2019-20.125784/

I will do this eventually.

Will a 2007 up master cylinder work on the 06 and older?

Although I canNOT definitively answer this question, I'd bet money that it depends on which GMT900 Master Cylinder is chosen, as there are several to choose from.

HydroBoost solved more than one sin on my 85, 99, 00 Suburbans. Like emergency brake response.

For those that have done the 2021 front brake upgrade does your brake pads fit all the way on the rotor?! I’m asking because for some reason mine don’t…
