n8ball2013 Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Anyone using these? Heres the deal. I plan on running the stockers in the winter and they are 16s. cant do a big rotor since it wont fit under the stock wheels. I need more stopping power with the 24s though since this thing already stops like shit. I planned on doing the beefed up calipers. cross drilled and slotted rotors or some variation and some stainless lines. Hoping it will help some but I can't find any reviews on these things really. What I can find is 50/50 worth it or not. http://www.stylintrucks.com/part.aspx?partid=518960 supposed to be a trip power caliper.

Wastehog Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 You could look into EBC for upgraded stock replacement. As to the caliper, I have no input. I have yet to use EBC but they seem pretty good. Next brake change I do, I'm going to look into them more. That's just an idea for pad/rotors. Is your truck disc in all 4 corners or is it disc/drum?

n8ball2013 Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 its disc drum. Ive thought about just doing an upgraded pad and rotor but You know how it is stopping a full size chevy. This thing has to hit a wall to stop. I want the additional clamping power. Oh and they look cool poking out from behidn the wheels. If I do the tri force caliprs in this kit I can do rotors and brake lines for around 1500 or so. the baer kit is alot more than that for the whole package and I have to do it all in one shot. this i can piece together . Wastehog. Eventually Ill have disc in the back as well depends on how this goes.

I was gonna suggest, maybe doing rear disc, which would help a little bit, but not as much as a big brake kit. One option you have, which is a lot of work.. is run big brakes in the summer and stockers w/ upgrades in the winter, but then again, a lot of money and work to swap em' out every 6ish months. Heres another idea.. Lets say later on you do get a big brake kit.. you could always invest in some cheapo 20"+ rims and ruin those in the winter.. Gotta love living in Northeastern United States.. we get the joys of all the snow and ice and salt.

n8ball2013 Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 yeah ive thought of all that. im pretty certain with these that if i decided to go big brakes I could just buy bigger rotors and the relocation brackets as these are the same calipers that would come in the big brake kit. Its just a grand on something I cant find shit for reviews on. Ive been sitting here with my check card on the desk and the cart pulled up all damn day too. lol Quote THERE IS NO BUILD LOG! 1998 Chevy Silverado ext cab Alpine CDA-9887 4 Team Fi 15s 2 Ampere Audio TFE 8.0 2 Ampere Audio 150.4 3 Digital Designs CS6.5 component sets Dual Mechman 370XP Elite alternators inbound! 8 XS Power d3400 6 XS power d680 Second Skin Stinger Tsunami Wiring Sky High A Real Voltmeter not a piece of shit stinger.

Wastehog Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 (edited) They seem promising.. Thanks to you now I'm looking for better brakes for my truck.. (dreaming) and I did a few searches and a few truck mags installed them, but never said anything about the real stopping upgrades. SSBC also carries a line of OE replacement sized, cross drilled and slotted rotors, which you can add to the kit for like $200. But, you can check out summit and pick up slotted and drilled rotors for like $55 a pop.. not too bad. As for about upgrading to bigger rotors, try emailing SSBC and see what they say.. If you do invest in these, do a stock 60-0 test, and then upgraded. Like Steve did with his Wilwoods. Then you will be certain of how much performance you gained. I SAY DO IIIIT!! lol Just think of the thrill you'll have dropping some dough on stopping power lol.
