The brake systems on most large vehicles are barely adequate to stop the stock mass--so when you're hauling heavy loads or using larger wheels/tires, braking power can become dangerously insufficient. The Brake Man's Storm brake kit restores braking power using massive 14 x 1.25-inch, thermally-processed Procast front rotors with steel hats, forged billet aluminum four-piston Tornado calipers, proprietary compound brake pads and steel braided lines. The Brake Man's patented Rigid Bridge Section caliper design eliminates caliper flex, and actually outperforms popular six-piston designs at a significantly lower cost. The Storm brake kit is available for most two and four wheel drive 2500 and 3500 Chevy, Dodge and Ford trucks and vans, plus Hummer H2, Cadillac Escalade, and 1500 series Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Custom applications are also available, five kits minimum. The Brake Man, (805) 987 STOP; www.thebrakeman.com
