Default lOOKING TO DO BRAKE UPGRADE

For anyone the has done Wilwood with 6 piston 16" rotor brake kit or the 15" Front EradiSpeed+1 Rotor Upgrade.. How much better do they stop? well worth the cost of 2000 or more thousand? EradiSpeed are much less, at about 700. Let me know what you guys think.. I'm only looking to do front.. Cause I did a 14 bolt swap from a 2010 which came with a 13.5" rotor and I change it already to a slot vent rotor.

Not wanting to cut corners but I have put a lot of money into her lately... Put a set of headers, Procharger then 4l80e, driveshaft and 14 bolt rear end and lots of other stuff ... Now needing to be able to stop this thing... So if anyone has a set of brakes used just for the front let me know Asap.. before I go broke..

Hydroboost swap, stainless lines, 05+ 13" calipers and rotors. For about $500 you have a setup that will do better than the aftermarket brake kits.

I don't know about that Atomic. My brakes are pretty good. And I can get them cheaper than anyone else.

I would be very interested in a back to back comparison if you are up for it, but I stand by my assessment

I have a 05 truck and did the hydroboost conversion first with braided lines and it was a night and day difference. Then I added will wood bbk, it felt the same. It looks much prettier though. If I could do it all over again, I would just do the hydroboost, 05 brakes and braided lines and spend the $1800 elsewhere.
