Anyone buy their calipers off of Rockauto, send your factory ones back as the core, and get refunded the core charge? They say the core has to fit the same vehicle that the new part comes from, which technically it would, but it's not right for a 2019+.

Have you looked into the 6 piston police tahoe caliper upgrade? I like the brake upgrades I did on my 14 sierra. I'm going to do the 6 piston calipers on the front of my 18 sierra with the camaro 4 piston calipers on the rear. Here's the rear of my 14 View attachment 438426

I pulled the trigger for my 2018 Yukon Denali. Ordered : front 16" rotors with 6 piston Brembo + Camaro 4 piston Brembos for the rear. Total cost for all parts needed was less than $2,000.

Take lots of pictures and post them when you swap it over.

Parts are arriving in a few days. I will make a new post with pics & part numbers. Everything in new except the rear calipers which I paid $150 for the pair & were included in the total cost.

I repainted the calipers on my Wife's 2014 SS Sedan so the Yukon's calipers will be the same color.

Did you get these installed yet? Also, what calipers are those?
Not installed yet, just got back from a 1,500 road trip & flying out to Florida in 2 weeks so may not install until summer. I want to get my 73 Camaro restro-mod build done by end of May.

The front brakes are the PPV Tahoe 16" rotors with 6 piston Brembo calipers. Part #s 84793057 & 84793058. The rear 4 piston Brembo calipers are from a Gen6 Camaro.

Here's the current state of my 73 Camaro that sat in a cow field 20 years before I got it. Suspension, brakes, 6.2L LS3 & TR6060 6 speed manual are in. No wiring, plumbing, fuel system, interior or glass installed yet. Gen5 ZL1 seats & center console are going in.

Thanks! Also, why a 6.2? Aren't they having hella problems with the 6.2s? Honest question, I don't have an opinion one way or another.
