  1. You are correct But it drives me crazy to see unmatched rear brakes. Brembo rear brake for the GMC 2019 will be a 4 pot system. Combined with a 8 piston front... the brakes will be so damn efficient. I run them on every vehicle I own... I typically get 75k before I need to replace pads. The 2 piece Rotors should last 100k. I have 120k on one set and still have tons of life left No doubt it’s crazy money, 8500-10k but if your looking for the “ultimate” system, this is the route to go. Not to mention your shaving 40% of the rotational mass compared to the original system... handling, acceleration, braking, everything is improved on that front. Only negative is your wallet will start smoking and you’ll end up working until your 80 years old. Should be epic Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Yea that’s the brembo/GMC kit... But At $2200-2500, being a 6 pot caliper, and a heavy ass 1 piece rotor, it’s a overpriced. I’m waiting for my rep at Brembo to confirm fitment on their new 8 piston kit GT kit will fit. List is $5500 but you can easily wheel and deal and prob get it for 4800. Brembo has a strict price protection policy that makes all distributers list the same price. This kit is designed to work with the factory abs system, brake pump... everything.. The extra 2k is worth the gigantic 2 piece floating rotor, with a anodized aluminum hat.... the cast iron 1 piece rotor will rust and look like shit after a year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I have used many of stabilizers..... but I see no value on one for this vehicle. That being said... What symptoms are you experiencing? What modifications do you have on tires and suspension. One common misconception that people have about steering stabilizers is that if your truck has a shimmy or experiences death wobble installing a steering stabilizer will fix it. This is completely false, installing a steering stabilizer will only help hide the issue. The only way to actually fix a shimmy or death wobble is to find and replace the suspension component that is causing the issue. Without one of these stabilizers, the vibrations from your steering components and the road would reverberate through the entire system. This vibration can cause various steering components like ball joints, tie rod ends, and your drag link to prematurely wear out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Great info Thanks HondaHawk for breakdown. So it sounds like if you can find it at a reasonable cost it would be a nice upgrade! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Is ceramic tint like polarized sunglasses? How does it work? I always thought it was just marketing BS but you gentlemen say it’s a dramatic improvement? Thanks guys Pete Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Buddy has a ram 2500 megacab.... 80 psi In tires.... It was almost unbearable.... I was blown away how nice the rig I test drove at the dealer was... very composed and just buttery soft I also felt like I was in a Mercedes S class... these trucks have really come a long ways in the last 10 years.... Can’t wait to get one.. already ordering parts Like a wild man.. love to research parts to improve And make something one of a kind, dialing it in to make it the best Rig as possible:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. How do you like the ride? Nice and soft? Any major negatives? Appreciate the help! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Great info!!! I agree with your take.... not a huge desire to risk it with fitment... by the time we replace them... there will be more info on what these trucks can take without rubbing and such... The toyos have a real nice look as well.. with the black wheels and some nice tire shine it just looks very clean and understated. Less is more. Sorry if you already stated this, do you have a leveling kit? Good man. Thanks for posting this Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Every manufacturer is different.. Usually between 20-35 Any reputable shop can usually match it very close... just don’t go darker than the back... will look weird as hell. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Some really nice examples on here guys... agree with the above gentlemen. thanks for paving the way for new guys like me.. folks dropping coin on mods for this new chassis will help countless people down the road.. good community here pete
  11. This is my 2nd favorite setup on here... love it. Did it mess up handling? Any more pics please?? Good job man
  12. Dude, you nailed it... very clean. one of the best examples on here i think I’m going to copy you... you mentioned you wish they were wider... what size would you get or is it just fine as is?
  13. The performance of their kits is on par with their price point. the shortcomings are in the caliper design and build quality. Additionally, they have very poor customer service and will fight every issues... and this goes to the top. I got in it pretty good with their VP of sales on my fuked up kit. It was a custom $8500 kit where all four calipers failed after 1500 miles. The build quality is average at best and the company doesn’t stand behind their products. performance isn’t really a major issue, Miatas don’t weight much.. guys prob did the kits more for rotational mass
  14. Thanks Red. How do you know these will fit the 2019? i have yet to find a company that acutally lists the 2019 under offical fitment. Respectfully, stoptech is close to the bottom with Wilwood. Their "painted" calipers are among the most sensitive to heat and brake fluid than any other company.. they're custom service deperart, lead by VP of sales Mark Cornwell is incompetent and out of touch. Company is a mess. Brembo is one of the few companies that really stands behind their product. I've owned many many sets from these 3 companies... I would never buy a stop tech product again after some of the shit i went through on a 8500 trophy setup on my e46 M3. 380mm kit for such a large truck also doesnt work for me.... cost savings move on their end.
  15. not really.... you'll create uneven brake distribution with a kit on the front and stock on the rear... to do it right you get both.
  16. just garbage. has anyone been able to source a real bbk for the GMT T1XX? I want to run an 8 Pot brembo gt from setup and 4 pot rear but i have yet tio find 2019 variations.
