New brakes... What to get?

[Blacked-out-Tahoe]

So the tahoe is in need of new breaks and I have no idea what to get, Baer breaks, EBCs,...etc... any recommendations

hit up clkelley with Synthetic Motorsports (supporting vendor of TYF). The R1 Concepts are great and well priced too.

How much are you looking to spend? If you can afford to drop $3k, Brembos are the way to go. There are cheaper kits from like Wilwood and Baer too.

I've run R1Concepts in the past and they're pretty good. Unfortunately, GM seriously shorted us on the calipers, and just changing the pads and rotors doesn't solve that problem.

If you are searching the Internet for info and prices...use the word "brake" that should help

Brembos ftw but wilwoods for the 2nd place. I cant afford neither so i just get cheepo autozone ones

I have drilled and slotted rotors from R1 and ceramic pads from autozone and that stops my heavier than most burb.

i woulndt have guessed to check the internet hahaha ive been leaning towards will woods or baer but now i will check out R1

If you have the cash to drop on the more expensive brakes then do that you wont regret it. If you are more on a budget then R1 will do you well. I heard SSBC has an upgraded kit for these might want to check that out.

From what I have gathered on here, many people are satisfied with the r1 rotors and hawk pads. You can also look into adding a hydroboost setup to get the maximum stopping power out of the stock calipers

Just to throw this out there. I offer R1Concepts with a 10% forum member discount, this includes Brembo big brake kits as well. I also offer SSBC upgrade kits and replacement disc and pads at a 15% off forum member discount.

That being said, with 22" wheels, you are pushing the limits on upgrading with stock size rotors. The R1Concepts Premium double cross drilled and slotted rotors would be the best choice on a budget, but the next level would be upgrading to the GMT900 rotors, calipers and pads, etc. Doing this will provide a little better than stock replacement upgrade for better performance and longevity.

Or, if your budget allows, I can provide information and pricing for Baer, Stop Tech, Brembo, SSBC. I also always offer some form of forum member discounts for those interested. In a nutshell, we offer anything from OEM replacement all the way up to the big brake upgrades.

If you would like more information, send me a private message here with your shipping address and your preferred upgrades and I'll help you find what you need.

thanks for that i will be getting in touch when its time for my brake upgrade later this summer

I did the GMT900 rotor, caliper and brake upgrade and was more then satisfied. Stopping with the 24's was pretty good and with stock 17s its great. I recommend that.

We sell Wilwoods if you are interested in going that route.

As well as SSBC and EBC.
