Default Big Brake Kits

Newbie here, any big brake kits available for the 05 dakotas? Also, anybody that has ordered the painted grille to replace the chrome grille, can you tell me where you got it and what part numbers you used. I would greatly appreciate it.

Is there anything out there to replace the drums in the back?? I looked a while ago but found nothing.

Interesting you ask about drums. I noticed no mention of drums while searching rotors last night. And speaking of rotors- What do you think about EBC Sport cross drilled and slotted rotors? Most online retailers are listing them at $178 a pair with free shipping. Also looking at their green(6000) or red pads. They seem to be high quality components.

TASTE THE HEAT AND ENJOY THE PAIN

Yeah I hate my drums in the rear. If anyone finds a replacement so tha tI can replace them with rotors that'd be awesome. $178/pair for those rotors, will they go on the rear? This is only my second vehicle owned, so I don't know what goes into changing from drums to rotors (I plan on having a brake shop install them for me) but all I know is that I NEED to do it this summer
