Ive never had an issue with CPP. Others say they have but my experiences have all been positive. I have used their stuff on several trucks and have never had any issues. Just verify everything is in stock before you order. CPPJeff is a member here and Im sure he'd be more than happy to help you.

If you contact Justin from Scotts Hot Rods he is a vendor on here. His shop is right down the street from CPP and is a vendor for them. I always place my orders from him and he goes down there and get it to me ASAP!! I had my chevy nova susp parts in 6 days. Real cool guy to work with.

They look great and easy install. The cons.... For nearly 2k you get reman calipers, the rear calipers are late 80s Lincoln calipers (not sure on the front) and my dust caps pretty much fall off just sitting. The thing I don't like is now my vision has changed, would love to run 15" rallies but these need a minimum of 17" wheel. Just think about before you buy. All in all they do look great but spendy

Also the modular spindles were on back order and it took a month and half to get my whole set up

CPP makes a great product, but I went with Performance Online for my kit. Comments about poor customer service, shipping and lack of response scared me away from CPP. Hopefully you have a good experience.

Can you use a different style brake pad?

Re: CPP big brake kit. anyone used this happy/ Not happy?
 
thats what I was thinking of doing maybe raybestos quite pad. Does anybody know if the pads in the big brake kit are ceramic or semi metallic???? Customer service told me to spray backs with brake quite spray but know luck...

Re: CPP big brake kit. anyone used this happy/ Not happy?
 
Can't speak on the brake kits but on CPP as a company I was impressed with my recent order. I ordered most of my suspension recently from them and received great service, I even called and changed my order after it was initially placed and never had a hiccup. It did take a little bit to get my order shipped but I ordered after their July 4th sale so I would assume that they were a little back logged after the time off for the holiday and the additional orders that came through with the sale.

Take your truck out and use the brakes hard. Sometimes this works to get rid of brake noise. Then again if they are dusting too much just get new pads.

okay thats what i will try

Re: CPP big brake kit. anyone used this happy/ Not happy?
 
I had great results when I delt with Jeff from the forum here. Customer service was #1 in my books. I don't know why everyone has so many problems with CPP. My only issue was the shipping time but that was the USA/Canada border delay. I haven't installed my full brake spindle kit yet but it's sitting on the shelf in the garage for when I have time.
