01 Silverado rear brakes?

[BleuII]

I was wondering if it would be worth it to change my single piston rear brakes to the dual piston?

I have the parts sitting ready to go on. I will let you know when they finally go on.

just curious if you would also be using a different proportioning valve? Seems the added clamping force out back may make the rear want to swing around more under extreme braking?

I personally have just gone to larger rotors, stainless braided lines, and better fluid, and it's made the brakes significantoy better!

Easier swap than you might think and some guys claim great results. I am going to measure my stopping distance under several conditions swap rears to 2 piston and fronts to the larger brakes and measure again.

yeah I've heard nothing but good results from people who have swapped to the slightly larger, what is it, 05+? front brakes, but don't hear too much about rears...are those dual piston calipers from suv?

You are correct sir.

An update to this tread. I was wondering did you get the rear dual pistons off a suburban or what? Whats all involved with this rear swap?
