Brake Kit Advice Needed
Hi there
My 2000 Chevy Suburban 1500's brakes are on their way out and I am looking at various direct fit brake kits.
I have found reasonably priced Power Stop kits Z23 or Z36 but I am unsure of their quality...
It would seem that only the Z36 offer an upgrade on the rear with twin pots but front stays standard twin pots too...
Any advice would be welcome specially as I am ordering overseas and don't really won't to get it wrong :-D
Thanks ;-)

if your driving up/down mountains and heating up your brakes, go semi metallic pads. they give a different pedal feel and may be noisier but they won't fade; everything is a trade off. Make sure the trailer brakes are in good order. The rear caliper change is not something i would bother with but to each their own.

all the extra pistons do is make it easier/faster to apply mechanical force to the pads.
the fronts are already dual piston. dual in the rear are used in heavy duty 3/4 ton trucks that tow 10000lbs.
