Has anyone yet put together a table documenting / comparing the various
rear brake systems now available, something like that for air bags?

I've committed to presenting a seminar at Montgomery, especially for
newbies and others contemplating what to do in the rear of their GMCs,
explaining the many options now available. I'll use the air bag chart and
think a similar one for brakes would be useful -- but I don't want to
reinvent the wheel if someone's already done it -- I HOPE. :-)

Hi Ken,

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AsEWkMLsSGYOdGhtejZVby1fSG5qUkZRT3BsTFNwcXc&hl=en_US#gid=0

I had this in my Evernote clips from a while back. Link was originally
pulled from the forum, IIRC. Seems to be what you're looking to see.

Andrew Reynhout had created the chart, so my apologies to him if I'm
posting this without permission. Though I recall clipping the link when
posted freely. Great list in any case Andrew, so thank you for putting it
together as it made my choice for suspension replacement much easier.

John,

Thanks. I do intend to present that as the primary source for air bag
information. Now if someone has just done a comparable chart for brakes,
I'll be in good shape. The feeble effort I published last night pales by
comparison with that effort. :-)
