Yes they will. The 2015+ K2XX models use the exact same brakes (calipers, pads, brackets, and rotors), as the GMT900.

I just want to verify when I put my big brake kit on my 2015 tahoe I can use everything off it and put it on my 2001 tahoe to upgrade the rotors and calipers?

What do you mean by big brake kit? As in Brembo or Wilwood?

Yes as in wilwood for my 2015 tahoe. I'd like to take all the oem stuff off my 15 and put it all on my 2001 tahoe as a upgrade everything is still the orginal I know I have one caliper bad on the rear it's got over 300000 miles on it.

According to Wilwoods site, the front uses the same parts but not the rears. I would contact them to see what the difference is.

Interesting. Are there any oem big brake kits we can leverage like ctsv brakes being put on everything?

Not that my old pig needs racecar brakes...

That's sexy. Gotta be like $2k+++ all in though right?

I figured someone would figure that swap out eventually

I haven’t priced out zr1 calipers and pads, but it wouldn’t surprise me. The brackets are reasonable-ish and the rotors are oe big brake kit so those can’t be too terrible on price either.

I agree. I’m surprised it took this long and the k2xx big brake kit hasn’t becoming more popular yet.
