Main reason I never went with a big brake kit because I knew if I ever needed replacement parts they would most likely discontinue the line. I know StopTech just discontinued their 14" rotors not to long ago and may end their big brake kit as well.
TxSilv, StopTech makes my front SS lines.
Jiar, regular 13" rotors for the 05+ compared to my old 12" rotors from my 04'.

hey bgray, if you already had the money down with wilwood, just go ahead and transfer that over to AP Racing and you'll get yourself one serious set of stoppers.
Sucks that goodridge is apparantly having issues with production on their nbs 5-line SS braided kit too! I have one kit on my sierra, and went and ordered another kit for my silvy last thanksgiving and it's still backordered!?
I'll have to look into the stoptech kit options....

hi guys
little updated on story. ordered the full wilwood 14inch kit for my 99 rcsb, its been 5 months since wilwood has taken my money. they have since refunded my money and told me they are discontinuing the break kits for the nbs trucks do to lack of sales, which I understand cause no one has them.
so im faced with trying a different route, im thinking of possibly going with a modded oem option like larger truck brakes or hopefully z06 or equivelent brakes.
So my question is, is there anyone out there that makes brackets that will allow me to run z06 calipers and a larger rotor for my nbs? any info would be great. truck is a 99 nbs 2wd currently 4 wheel disc, upgraded rotors and pads thats it.

As far as I know, those kits are still available!
