I want to see results before and after stopping with and without trailer!

Very good video. Put together well and very informative.

It’s amazing how many people don’t actually understand the performance benefit of larger braking systems. They don’t actually decrease your stopping distance after using them once because the limiting factor there is your tire grip on the road, not your brakes. Even the stock brakes can break the tires loose. The advantage of larger braking systems is that they take much longer to overheat than stock brakes after repeated hard braking..i.e. they maintain their function for longer before they become heat-soaked and ineffective. On a truck, I can only see this being useful while trailering down a long, winding descent in Colorado.

Great video! I’m sold 👍

Nice, a must-have for me 😮

Had these on my 2018 LTZ 6.2l and they are great 👍. The pads are extremely expensive and no aftermarket pad exists. My 18 got totaled in a rear-ended collision and I'm going to miss it. Should have ordered these for my 2022 refreshed Trailboss.

You can contact Brembo and give them the P/N of the calipers for a list of P/N's of pads you can use on them. I like to use EBC pads as they work 5-10x better than even the factory Brembo pads and they don't leave any nasty brake dust after a little use. Honestly thinking of doing this upgrade to my 19 GMC Sierra Denali. The 6.2L has good power but I'd like a little more stopping force just in case.

You're right this guy's an idiot you could look into magazines and see what the 70 to 0 or 60 to 0 breaking distances are. then go test it with the brembo to see how much shorter the distance is.

The ride quality is a little firmer but it is planted! Next is a lot of frame and steering bracing!

It says “Testing” which means he tested them and provided feedback. This isn’t a “Benchmark/Comparison” video. If you want data, look into the GM specs on their actual website (literally just looked it up). It tells you the data improvements over stock along with the kit specs. The data/research has already been done since before these parts were even available to the public.

Do they have the rear brake upgrade for the Silverado 16-18 models?

How well and how long will they last in a towing option while in town and on the highway

Big brakes are for multiple hard stops. Like racing. You will only stop as good as your tires and suspension are. Also big brakes can be noiser. I guess they would be great if you towed down hills alot But they do look very cool. Hope this helps someone

Is there a Front AND Rear Kit for a 2017 Yukon Denali?

For the price tag of these trucks, they should come with better brakes. I'm only here because my brakes are squeaking. My Chevy dealership just give me some BS answers. For example, wash it down with water. They don't understand I'm a mechanic and working on vehicles for over 20 years.

you going to upgrade your rear bumper?

The dealership installed these factory ordered Brembo brakes and now the spare tire doesn't fit the fronts and the brakelife sensors no longer work as well. The Brembo brakes themselves work much better than the factory brakes and you don't have to push down on the brake pedal nearly as hard. Perhaps there is a fix to both these issues.

$2,895.00 just for the fronts not including installation and from what i've read on the forums they can have reliability issues. The stock brakes have great feel and grab for me.

I'm on my second set of pads and calipers. GM replaced the first set at 30000km as the Tahoe (2019 RST) shuddered badly. I'm starting to see pad transfer in the center of the rotors again after 10k km. Hoping it won't be a repeat of the first set. Tahoe stops great. Would love to hear experiences of others who have some miles on theirs.

I have them on an Escalade ESV that sees a lot of spirited driving. The dealer did pads at 40k miles and, against my better judgment, turned the rotors. The first time I braked hard from 100+, they developed a vibration that came back any time I braked hard at speeds over 80 mph and eventually - 30000 miles later - became pervasive under any amount of braking at any speed over 70. Rotors did not appear to have any cracks so I’m guessing machining them lead to warping and perhaps microscopic cracks. Just replaced the pads and rotors with aftermarket (DFC) to see if they hold up any better. The pad bedding experience was great and the butt dyno suggests even better performance than the Brembo pads. Machining rotors is an enormous no-no in my book, but seems to be extra problematic with the Brembo kit. Try replacing your rotors.

Where was the “testing”? All he did was tell us what we could have read in the item description. If I was to guess, this is because there about zero difference in stopping distance. All your difference is going to be in pedal feel, and not overheating the brakes as easily under extreme conditions. Which isn’t a bad thing, but jeez you could’ve run SOME kind of real world testing.
