I just added a hydroboost, Bendix ceramic pads, and stainless steel lines, to brand new stock rotors, calipers, and drums, to slow down very standard sized 31 x 10.50R15's on a 4x4.

I went from almost having manual brakes due to low vacuum caused by a large cammed 383, to being able to stand the truck on it's nose at will. My K5 now stops better than anything I've ever owned in the past. Very smooth, too.
