need new brakes to help my 26'' rims PLEASE!!


Recommended Posts

I've got ssbc. But I wouldn't say I got off cheap. For fronts only Im at close to 1500. Calipers were a grandidh rotors and paid another three and stainless steel lines another hundred or so. I'll eventually do a new master cylinder and the rears as well so all told its over three grand.

i know the pic shows 5 lug, but thats just for advertising, he says i will get the 6 lug

so what do you guys think? worth the trouble and money? ive decided to kick it up another $400 for budget, i can do $1000

hey bros, i need some help please, i have a set of 26'' wheels i put on my 2002 yukon denali last year, everything was fine first few weeks, but as expected over time they were just to much for the factory brakes, my steering wheel started shaking as if i needed a wheel alignment which i didnt because when i threw my factory wheels back on in the winter time the wheel shake went away, also when i had my rims on when i would hit the brake the truck would swerve slightly to the right..to the point i would have to turn the steering wheel to the left a bit whenever i braked to compensate for the truck wanting to turn a bit to the left, so my question is can you guys suggest a good set of brakes i can throw on there to help stop these problems but not big enough to where i cant throw the factory wheels back on in the winter time? if possible can something like this exists for $600 or less?

You need the wheels balanced. Have the brake calipers checked out, heavier duty brake pads/rotors.

I run stock brakes and rotors with 26's on my 01 Denali. Drive it like it's a slow ass truck because it is. If I'm not hard on my brakes I get a year plus out of my pads. I did have a wheel alignment done with my rims on the truck. Some adjustments were needed with the larger rims on because every little bit your alignment is out becomes exaggerated with the larger rims. I'm going bigger with my brakes but other things are more important at this time.
