I have that SSBC kit A126-47 from summit currently installed on my 09 Sierra Denali. I took them off my Avalanche when I sold it and transfered them to the truck. Fits fine, just make sure you have the caliper mounts installed on the correct side (there is a left and right and they are not labeled). Definitely more power in the brakes, it is not like going to a Wilwood setup or anything like that. I think it is advertized as 12% more braking. Makes the brakes just feel sized correctly for the truck. The bonus is they look much better through the 20s now that the front disc is bigger than the rear, the discs used to be the same dia front and rear.

 

Thats awsome.I knew i should of held off but oh well.Send me a pic when you get a chance.

 

Ehh that's almost 500 bucks.

I'll stick to the 200 $ ones

 

Any updates on the install?

 

They are complete junk! I got 30k or so miles on factory pads.I got there slotted and driled rotors with the "free pads" . Junk the torx holes do not match and they eat pad's.SIX SETS OR BETTER! I have lost track one set was Hawk suoer dutys no less! Mine are cracked all to **** sending them back for a repacment set going on Craigslist JUNK! Factory blows this junk away there pad lasted around 5k mikes.To be fair this is due to brake pad eating rotors with sub duralast quality.

Daryn C swapped to a different rear end that had rear calipers

 

I just bought me some EBC cross drilled & slotted rotors and just waiting on my 7000 series green stuff pads, since they are on back order. I'll post pics and evaluation when i get them installed in about 3 weeks or so, assuming EBC is accurate on the release of the pads.

 

hah.........60K miles on my stock stuff.....can't complain with a 2500...

I tow over capacity half of the time, and I am brutal on brakes I kinda don't adhere to any speed limits (for compairson, my work truck usually gets 5-10k a set.......of course its an 06 tahoe with red lights on the roof)

this big son of a gun has more braking than the suspension will allow (rear looks to lock with the big springs) but if I can keep the rear on the ground its great stuff, and there's more than half of the pads left....

buddy has oversized ssbc stuff on his 03 avalanche for 80-100k now.......and is fed up with pad/rotor replacements and wants to see about fitting big boy stuff on his too.

 

which kit are you saying is junk? that kit from Summitracing.com?

 

No I'm talking about brakeperformance.com's rotors complete junk and the pads. I'm sending mine back for a free replacment and they are going on Craigslist. I think I'm going to go with ssbc's +1 rotor or +2? with the caliper relocaters,along with Hawk super duty pads.(can you upgrade calipers later to work with theses rotors like ssbs's 3 pston set?) I really would like to change the back brakes out to disc's anybody thought about going to the salvage yard and retrofitting the brakes off of a suburban or tahoe? Seems like it would be easy in theory. All the rear disk conversions seem way over priced.
