    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?

    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?

    I just read a similar thread on ptnet, and they were discussing NNBS brakes being a direct bolt on to NBS when using calipers and caliper brackets along with rotors... and some were asking if then also Escalade brakes would be a direct swap....
