14" Rotors with stock calipers

[gmduramax]

Got it down to 114 feet. Debating if I should also do the rears, thoughts?

Rear braking power is very important when towing or when laden. If you don't run heavy, the OEM rear brakes are overkill.

 

[gmduramax]

Going to get some aftermarket pads and see how these do.

Any updates?

 

[gmduramax]

Have the rears. Going to install soon.

Update

Turns out the stock rotors are 13 inches. The kit I have for the back is wrong so I'm going to send what I have back and get the 14 inch rotors.
With just the front rotors being 1 inch larger the truck stops 7 feet shorter and requires less pedal force to stop.

I know that the hat height for 2500HD gas truck and diesel was different and I had an issue with SSBC sending me the wrong stuff.

Rotors still look good. They aren't cracking the the stock rotors

 

[gmduramax]

Put on stock replacement rear rotors.
So the truck is on stock brake pads. Larger 14" front rotors and stock size 13" rear rotors. Got it down to 60-0mph in 110ft

Just bumping this so I can find it later. Has anyone else done this yet?

I'm going with willwood and braided steel lines. Yes they are expensive but work amazing.

im curious if 17" rims will still work with these.

Anthony said earlier that he thinks it would be a tight fit with 18's even. So I'm not sure. The stock rotors are 13" and are a tight fit with some 16" wheels, and according to SSBC's site these rotors are 14.5".

 

[Chevy1925]

Yeah but no one has actually seen if it would work, that's why I ask

I'll see if a stock 17 will fit on Saturday.

thanks buddy :hug:

is there a parts list of how to do this and if you still need a spacer for the rotors to work with the caliper?

 

[gmduramax]

You can buy everything from SSBC

 

[ChargedTTq]

Is this that $650 kit?

Seems pricey for a couple rotors and a bracket...
