2 susp ?, 1 brake ? on 72 gmc c25
ok tried looking for what i need didn't find it. i am looking to upgrade the front disc brakes, what kind of caliper am i looking for? i went to wilwoods site as i heard their good but couldn't make sense of all their specs. so does anyone have any recommends looking 75-90$ per caliper(if possible?).
also im looking to raise my truck for a prerunner look figured out the front(thanks 72mario) now to the rear looking for 5in out of rear with out sacrificing load ability. was thinking of swapping trailing arms to top axle tube which looks like it will yield 6-7in lift, so how do i lower that 1-2in to get my 5in or are their hd lift coil springs for the rear? thank you everyone

What exactly is wrong with your brakes?
The "cheaper" Wilwood D52 calipers are around $150-$170 each. Have your brakes been rebuild recently? For the prerunner look,... do you just want to install a taller front springs,... or are you looking for a lift spindle? I'm not familiar with flipping the rearend on a set of trailing arms. Maybe someone else will chime in.

all the brakes need to be redone, was thinking of upgrading to a higher then stock performance but...don't think i can/will @ 150$each. im not racing or anything so im sure whatever napa sells over the counter will do fine, it was justa thought.
ive got the front susp figured out its just trying to hash out the rear susp

If you want better than average pads for your stock calipers, check out http://www.musclecarbrakes.com. They were called Praise Dyno Brakes in the past. They offer a LOT of options for upgrading your brake pads.
