Default what to do?? Your opinions ASAP

I have to do a brake job with all rotors and pads on my rig... Question is, would you save $$$ to get the stuff at Autozone? Or, spend another 150.00 more from a Hummer Dealership using AC Delco stuff????

What he said.

You can get really nice EBC rotors and pads for under $700 easily. Expect to pay roughly $800 for your oem stuff and labor at a dealership. Assuming you have the right tools pads and rotors should take you about 2-2.5 hours start to finish, its pretty easy to do. (Just did my rear breaks yesterday, first time ever doing a brake job, took about 1.5 hours from the time I drove into the shop till when I backed out.)

Unless you're going to upgrade pads (hawks, carbotech, etc, etc) stick with GM pads.

GM pads last a long time and are a very happy medium between being too soft that they leave too much dust and too hard making them squeel.

Besides, I think the last time I bought a set of GM pads, they were only in the 30-40 dollar range. (may be more now...)

Default Re: what to do?? Your opinions ASAP

I am planning to do brakes in a few weeks. I have decided to use the power slot cryo rotors, Hawk pads, one of these two; super duty or EHS pads. I do have the brake line kit from Trail duty which I am hoping will firm up the brake pedal.

Thumbs up Re: what to do?? Your opinions ASAP

Powerslot rotors and Hawk pads is a nice upgrade for reasonable amount of money spent

My 2 cents is if it works fine, why upgrade???? I have had vehicles in the past where the stock rotors were not beefy enough and warped, when it was brake time, I upgraded. Same with the pads. Too soft/too hard, time to upgrade. With the very long life of the brakes on this truck and so far no issues at all with my stock set up, when it is time to replace this will be all OEM parts for me with no hesitation.

Hey splne1 would you please show your brake set up. I want to see how the cross drilled rotors looks with your wheels and all. Thanks.
