one of the members on here, is making a set with Wilwood. Its gonna be awesome, shouldn't be hard to find if you search for Wilwood brake kit

 

Yes, I have my kit mounted and now I'm conducting real world road testing.

Once satisfied I will send my adapters out for production.

How many miles are on your truck AND has the brake fluid ever been flushed?

 

wait for this guy ^^

 

Well since 2am I have racked up about 200 miles of road testing; more to follow

 

initial thoughts?

 

I don't think SSBC is still making the disc brake kits for the Colorado.

 

Yeah I'm pretty sure I got the last kit from them but ColoradoPerfection you can call them and ask if that is what you want, but i'm sure they still do not have a manufacturer for the front rotors. Best bet is to do what the others have said and wait until 1BADI5 has his front kit in production.

As for the rear Street Rod Manufacturing is still an option and If I recall correctly 1BADI5 was saying he was going to look into a rear wilwood kit as well but you would have to ask him to be sure.

 

must be the over sized tires.
I'm on the 18th and stopping is very good.

How much is the front upgrade kit looks to be?

 

Ya I can't find the ssbc kit anywhere so think I'm gonna have to wait for the well kit

 

2533

Here is the rear disc conversion

 

Initial feel is......... be careful, steering wheel taste like shit :kiki:

I'm going to bleed them again this week and report back

 

So then going to a bigger brake system isntd really an option at this time?

 

look up the 09+ front swap and do the h3 rear brake swap

 

H3 rear swap = ROYAL P.I.A. not to mention brutally expensive (I think one guy paid 600 just for the axle)

Better off just buying the rear bracket and rotors from TSM and either getting JY calipers or reman's from parts store or you can slap some Wilwood D154 calipers on there like Andrew @BridgestonePHM9 did. However, if you go the Wilwood route, you will need to turn down the rear rotors down to 290 mm so they will clear the slide pins, and ever so slightly grind down where the rotor rests above the bolt holes.

 

You have to turn the rotors down, and grind/cut away some excess material from the Wilwood calipers just so they don't rub the center of the rotor.
**also you have to grind the brake pad backing plate down a little so it wont rub.

 

What bout just upgrading the front rotors, pads and calipers do they make a bigger diameter option for us? Or would it be better to leave it the way it is and do the rear conversion

 

@ColoradoPerfection

I'd recommend some Stainless Steel brakelines and some EBC YellowStuff pads if you want an upgrade on a budget.

 

Lol thank you Greg, so the ssbc kit isntd made anymore

 

If the OP is 2WD, there is always the izuzu rear end swap option...I've seen them go for $75 with 3.73, lockers, and disc brakes.

Just a thought.

 

OK guys I down to the wire..my rotors are warped from the extra load on them due to my 20s with 33s..what do I do..do I just spend the money on ssbc fronts or due I put some kind of slotted/ drilled rotors with better pads?

 

Check out R1 Concepts for rotors and pads, they have some good stuff
for sale.

 

Anything more on the upgrade to the fronts? I was thinking about trying to make brackets for the C5 Z06 Willwood 4 pistons and use those OR Make brackets for the first Gen. CTS-V 4 piston Brembos.

Looking to get better braking from my LS2 cammed, T56, Reg. Cab.
