Well, that Escaladed quickly!

[THE YETI]

Thanks gentleman, those Willwoods are sexy for sure. Would it be a bad idea if I just did the fronts, or did willwood up front and r1 in the rear?

Just do the fronts until you can afford the rears. We had that setup for a bit on the suburban.

Fronts do the grunt work anyway

Escalade looks perfect. Were any modifications to the bumper needed to fit the corsa tips? I was able to get an awesome deal on a premium bumper from a local dismantler, and want to have my corsa sport setup the way yours is.

No mods at all, took the shop less than 20 minutes to swap the stock exhaust to the Corsa.

Thanks. That's good to know. I'll have to get the bumper to the paint shop ASAP so I can get this done. It's the last mod I will be doing.

Famous last word..

HAHA, I'm going to try my best to keep it my last. But if some wilwood calipers will work with my Baer Eradi speed 15 inch rotors, I might have one big mod left in me...

Those won't work, but the Z06 6-piston calipers will.

Yea I wanted to do the z06 or cts-v calipers, but wasn't able to find anyone making brackets to work on the nnbs tahoe

 

[GalaxyBlackEsky]

Yeah I have thought about doing yellow CTS-V brakes and have my brother design and machine the brackets.

 

[shundal]

If he ever does make a bracket, let me know. I'd buy them.

Why not use the ones for the NBS and make them work? Fabricate fabricate!

Why not use the yellow z06 ones? They are 6 piston. I think the CTS are 4 piston.

That might be my only option. If there was an easier bolt on solution, it would encourage me to do this quicker. I know that the 2012 cts-c have 6 piston calipers, but i'm not sure if they are any different that the z06.

I will do the fronts for now and get rears after some OT, but i need some 22's!! The BBK won't fit with the factory wheels on it. hint.. hint..

Actually the New CTS-V's are 6 piston in the front. They are just a tad different looking then the Z06's. But I can't find any Z06's in yellow. But I can find CTS-V's in yellow for about 100 more. If I can find cheaper Z06's then I will powder coat them. As for finding NBS brackets I can't find them anywhere. So I will just let my brother measure and make them. He is a mechincal engineer. If I go that route. I have to see what coast is and decide if it is just better to do wilwoods.

 

[THE YETI]

I spent right around $1500 on my Z06 brake setup. $300 of that was just the brackets. That should give you a good idea of where you'd be after it was all said and done. That was for all brand new parts. Labor was free, I did it myself.

I can tell you that the wilwood kit was ALOT better than the Z06 setup I had.

There was a guy on silveradoss.com who had a bunch of the brackets left. His username was Rudy.

I went back to the same spot to take some after pics after the slight additional rear drop to see if it shows the difference:
