    I want a 4 or 6 piston caliper. They must be able to fit under my 17" rims. If i have to buy a kit with the caliper and rotor thats fine. Just as long as they will fit under 17" rims. Does anyone know where i can get some?

    I have already emailed them and asked them. They only make them for 18" and up rims.

    I've looked at brake upgrades for awhile. Don't think you will find 4 piston to fit in 17"

    SS brakes have a 3 piston that will work with 17's. Need 18's for more.

    I bought a Willwood 4 piston brake setup, mostly to rid myself of the horrendous stock GM parking brake.
    The fit with 16" wheels and work great.

    Cost, about 650.00 for the entire setup less parking brake cables. Lokar makes the cables, they are about 100.00.

    Go with:

    &#39;05+ front calipers and rotors, about 13"

    Tahoe/Burban rear discs and calipers... 2 piston, about 12.3" rotors.



    If you need to stop better, get some 18" wheels and Baer or SSBC.

    How about a big brake upgrade for a 1996 GMC K1500?
