Time for brakes

[rowhard]

Brake lines are nice, but we have 5. 4 Calipers and one on the rear axle.

That pic is just a stock I dug up. The VX kit has 5 lines. It's all good.

Brembo rotors are not a big deal as they have an OEM fitment for the VX. The calipers however are VERY wheel specific. With the limited doo-doo wheels available to us (just my opinion), I hate to have to get spacers just to clear the brakes. Face it, some wheels manufacturers actually tell you if teh wheel clears Brembos and if not, what size spacer is needed. Sadly, I have yet to see a truck/SUV wheel state that info. I am not a trial and error kinda person.

My RT6s are quite flush to the OEM calipers and having personal experience with Brembos, they have more volume than the OEM. The 2 shops I spoke with agreed and didn't wanna tear down and rebuild just to have to tell me that my wheels won't work. Plus, and sadly, my trusted tuner shops here are all extremely backed up for a couple of months with engine rebuilds/issues. Not much $$ in a brake job compared to that. It is weird, it's like suddenly a ton of engines are going around here. Post insane winter blues???? Besides, I don't want to make an appt for August.

In the end, it also comes down to cost. Brembos are considerably more expensive and for a vehicle I drive on the weekends for, on average, 20 or so miles.... naaaaaah.
