SSBC Brakes & Brake Pads

I can stop without using both feet on the pedal !One BIG problem with the kit ! Actually, the problem is small, but the effect is BIG. There are two holes on the rubber isolator on the connector at the pressure switch. One is plugged with a round rubberplug and the other is open for the connector. After all connections were done, nothing worked! All kinds of testing (and swearing) showed that the pump worked when directly connected. The problem was the round rubberplug put in the wrong opening in the rubberinsulator/connector by someone either having fun or being under pressure at work. I switced connector and plug-position and now the car stops when I want it to !Yeehaaa!

After eating through several rotor and shoe setups on my 2001 Silverado Z-71, I decided to go for a moderate upgrade by installing this kit. Brake performance is definitely better than where it was, but not too incredibly more potent than the usual OEM replacements I have had in the past. THe real test will be over time; My hope for these better-quality rotors is that they will not warp the way the OEM GM stuff is infamous for. I have yet to 'bed' the pads in, and I suspect they will grab better once that is done. Overall, a good value & so far, so good...

The SSBC proportioning valve has worked wonders for my '72 Nova. With a quick adjustment I went from locking the rear tires up to phenominal overall braking. The valve not only works, but it looks good as well.

It's a very easy and nice tool to use. Highly recommendable.

I installed disk brakes on my 51 Studebaker; since the master is located below the wheel cylinder, a check valve is needed to keep the line from draining. A 2 psi SSBC valve has done the trick-- the brakes work fine!
