There was someone who made brackets to adapt ZO6 brakes on our rides, not sure if he's still doing though. Let me go look, I'll be back.

edit: Ok, I'm back. I believe this fella has the brake upgrade info. He makes the brackets and knows where to find the rest. [email protected]

HD or commercial. Hmm, not that I'm aware of.

On my 2000 Esky I upgraded my front calipers to the 3/4 ton calipers (bigger pistons) and the rear wheel cylinders (drum brakes) to the 1 ton cylinders from the dually (bigger bore wheels cylinders). I also upgraded the master cylinder to the one from the next generation Tahoe which made a huge difference in the pedal feel... no more mushy pedal and she stopped very well.

I have never looked at upgrading the brakes on the '08 Burb any further than I already have which is the cross drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads on all 4 corners. She stops great and the pedal is firm. I would eventually like to upgrade to stainless braided lines but am very happy at the moment.

Thanks guys for the replies. I have had PowerSlot rotors in past , Dodge, and had good success. I went with Autozone GT slotted rotors combined with Autozone C Max pads. Will give a try for a year and see how they hold up. Will update later.
