Pad and rotor upgrade? Whats the go to?

[isenegger]

It's time to do the brakes on my 2010 tahoe. I would like to do a simple "upgrade" while I'm at it. What is a good pad and rotor combo that will help stop these? I was thinking an EBC pad and slotted rotors? What do yall recommend? Not break the bank either? Thanks!

PowerStop makes a nice upgrade kit. It comes with pads and rotors. Pay close attention to
how they want them installed and break in procedure..
There are a couple of options to choose from. I've used them on several cars and trucks all
with great results. You won't change out calipers.. just pads and rotors.
Yes, the brembo & such are so freakin expensive $$$$$

I looked into the powerstop stuff. Alot of people like their products. I may give them a go

I tow a lot, and this is the set I will buy when my pads wear out... which doesn't look to be anytime soon. I'm at 128K on what I believe are the originals so far.

Tire selection has a BIG impact on stopping distance. These trucks stop fine and in short order as originally configured. Some like to to use Hawk pads. Others are beginning to convert to the T1 brake configuration, 4-piston front calipers.

BAER ERRADISPEED, slightly larger rotors and they come with brackets to use the stock caliper, run about $650 a set
good bang for the buck in my opinion
also some people are doing the 2021 oem caliper/rotor upgrade probably be around the same price as the erradispeed.
both are sub $1000 upgrades
just tossing it out there

Stock size wheels and tires. After deleting dod and vvt, the cam has less vacuum and engine braking is reduced.

Throwing this here if it helps anyone. I replaced all 4 rotors and pads with brake motive (same as power stop). Found on eBay. Ended up just under 200 including shipping. Happy with results .

Due to upgrades and upcoming cam swap I’ll most likely do the Brembo gm big brake upgrade for our vehicles and 16” rotors.

Was looking at the 21 brembo upgrade but was seeing it for around $2k. Got a link for the $1000 price?
