Alright.

Ive heard hawk and ebc green stuff are both pretty good pads. Now it comes down to price

LongrangeLauber · June 6, 2013

Alright, here's my shopping list:

Power Stop slotted+ drilled rotors:

Front: AR8640XPR= $82.93

Rear: AR8645XPR= $106.18

EBC Green Stuff Pads:

Front: DP61304= $83.24

Rear: DP61635= $77.01

NAPA semi-loaded calipers:

Rear Left: CAL SE5315B= $55.80 + 60 core

Rear Right: CAL SE5316B= $55.80 + 60 core

Front Left: CAL SE5280A= $49.95+ 31.30 core

Front Right: CAL SE5279A= $49.95+ 31.30 core

Grand Total: $743.46 + applicable taxes (you know the government can't let us keep our money!!!)

Total, after cores returned: $560.86

The semi loaded calipers come with the brackets and mounting hardware. Brake upgrade for about $600, plus I already ordered stainless braided lines, so about 750-800 when all is said and done. Doing a brake fluid change while I'm at it. A lot cheaper than $4000+ an axle for big brake kits, but I'm sure they are a lot better. But, it ain't a race car here...

I will be going with New AC Delco calipers. I have the part numbers written down plus I will be using Baer Eradispeed +1 Rotors Possibly Eradispeed +2 on the front

Pleas refrain from those trash Power stop rotors, Mine lasted a year and the rotors had hairline cracks all around the drilled holes. I contacted the company and they wouldn't do anything for me but only wanted the pictures. Also, somehow a small hole ended up in the rotor almost like a gash of the sort. I probably would have never noticed that these rotors were bad until the I notice the pedal vibrating and I thought the rotors were warping.

Thanks for the info. Definitely don't want that to happen! What rotors would you go with?

Could you possibly post those part numbers on here for all the calipers I need, so I can check the price? My buddy works at NAPA and said their calipers are not the greatest reman's, but will get you by. I want something I know will work!

Not sure how they are, but I have seen some ebc brand ones that are slotted only which is what you want not drilled from what I hear. Other than that, your brake pad selection is good.

LongrangeLauber · June 7, 2013

Supposably the slots move the hot gases and water (rainy conditions) from the brakes and the cross drilled holes keep the brakes cooler. Not sure how true this is.

I did see a chart for which brake pads and rotors you should get to make a good match on the EBC website. I'll check it out

Chris · June 7, 2013

When I get to a computer I will get the numbers. Right now celebrating my birthday on the can.

Calipers

Rear L-

Front

The rotors I will be using are 15" fronts and 14" rears so they wont fit your wheels

I think I use 13" front and 12" rear?

Chris · June 7, 2013

Your rears are 13" stock.

LongrangeLauber · June 7, 2013

OK, so in the rear, I would just be doing a caliper swap, and then the rotor would be the same diameter, just a little thicker, so thats why I need new rotors?

And then in the front I would be going up an inch in diameter on the rotor, or would it still be the same as stock?

Also, when I go and look at parts for the 05+ front, it asks if it is for a truck with rear drum or disc. Ive clicked on both and there is a difference, so should I select if the truck has drum or disc in order to get it to fit properly on my truck?
