Replaces Factory Drum Brakes on GM 14 Bolt Rear Axles
This kit is made to replace the factory drum brakes on GM 14 bolt rear axles. Disc Brakes are a huge upgrade to the 14 Bolt axles. Will also fit other applications with a 3.50" Tube.
Improved Braking Performance
Since Disc Brakes use flat pads that rub against flat rotors, even when the pads are due to be replaced they will still be flat. That means that your braking performance will be similar throughout the life of the pads as they were new.
Increased Resistance to Brake Fade
Brake fade is the temporary reduction or complete loss of braking power of your vehicle’s braking system. Since air has easy access to the brake pads, disc brakes are able to cool off easily and quickly
Reduced "Unsprung" Weight
Disc brakes typically weigh about half as much as drum brakes do. This means the axle weight reduce by quite a bit. In turn, their is less "unsprung" weight for the suspension to carry. This improves how the vehicle rides and extends the life of your shocks.
Increased Clearance for your Wheels
This disc brake system allows clearance on most 15″ steel wheels.
Improved Brake Pedal Feel
Because Disc Brakes are more consistent, you will notice the feel of the Brake Pedal is drastically improved.
Simplified Maintenance
Since Disc brakes are self adjusting, the maintenance is typically just a brake pad replacement. On almost all disc brakes, you are able to visually see the brake pad life and rotor conditions.
Precision Cut Brackets for Accuracy and Consistency
The Brake Brackets are precision laser cut from 3/8" High Strength Plate Steel. We chose to laser cut our fabrication parts because laser cutting tends to be much more precise and consistant than other cutting methods available.
