EXGM Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) In with the NEW (cool) rotors... I upgraded to Baer Decela Sport Rotors this weekend. They are stock size 13 inch for my '06. I thought about getting the 14inch upgrade but couldn't justify almost double the cost. I figured I will get 80-90% of the benefit of the larger rotors. That and my truck is stock and its not like I autocross the thing.... on my morning commute I enjoyed nice smooth braking. The old rotors were a little warped, the truck still had the original pads with about 50% of the pad left but I replaced them with new factory pads. I did notice some weird cracking on the old pads so I felt better about replacing them... they were almost 10 years old after all. I shopped around and found for a touch over $300 with free shipping!

EXGM Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 (edited) Good call, What pads did you end up using? Where did you find the best deal? Pads I went with the GM OEM. Used AC Delco# 171-0974 GM# 25910431. Got them from Rock Auto for around $89.00, GM dealer cost is $85 so I felt that was a good deal. They are made by PBR (says on edge code of pad). The rotors I got off of Anything Auto, I found a 15% discount searching online, right after I ordered my Dad got a 20% off coupon from them but again I paid a little over $309 which was a good deal, most places I found sell for list which is like $364 range. PN for a 2006 SS is Baer# 55097-020. So far love them! Edited October 20, 2015 by EXGM (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
