I first had it on my 2005 Tahoe, and was amazed at the stopping power it had.

That was good enough for me to start some research! I WAS going to put discs on the rear also, but opted to only replace the boost unit first, so I could see what improvement it made. After that, I determined that a would not only need a shoulder belt addition, but would probably need a racing type harness to stay in the drivers seat upon hard application!
