4 Piston Big Brake Upgrade from 2019-20

This are not the snowflakes

Ahh, the more squared off version. But are they still 20x9 +27 and they appear to fit? Thank you for following up.

Yes, they actually fit without cutting the caliper down. I had some 4mm spacers made so I didn't have to keep track of 4 washers every brake change. One of the calipers was defective, and I had to swap it out at work. I didn't have a grinder available. There's 2000 miles on them now no issues. FYI if you delete the vacuum pump you will need to press harder on the pedal in emergency braking.

Beautiful, I recently acquired a set of OEM snowflakes with the same specs so I am banking on them fitting. Will be doing this swap on my 00 RCSB first, then on the 03 Denali. Thanks again

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

I absolutely have, but IMO the 4 pot swap is the best bang for buck upgrade on this platform. If I still had my 16 Silverado or a T1X, I'd absolutely consider the PPV brakes. My current 00 Silvy is just an ole 4.3 daily driver that I may end up doing an LS swap on in the future and the 03 Denali is a kid hauler that needs a paint job before anything else lol...

My Camaro already has 6 pots, and honestly it's been a love/hate experience because I like to mod and tinker with my vehicles and there is almost nothing I can do with it because it is as close to perfect from the factory as any car I've ever seen. So the mods go to the GMT800s lol

Yeah about the only thing you can do to the camaro is solid axle the rear. And that is only beneficial if it lives at a drag strip.

Now I want to upgrade my BBK again!!! Do you happen to have part numbers for the front and rear? Are any adapters needed for the rear like the front?

For the front calipers I machined some steel spacers that are 4mm thick to go between spindle mounts and the caliper to center it on the rotors. If you're going PPV 6 pistons up front i haven't done them yet.

POWER STOP Z362173 front pads



BENDIX SDR6885 front rotors



NUGEON 97P17504A/97P17504B front calipers



BENDIX SDR5729 rear rotors



POWER STOP Z261718 rear pads for SS Model



GM GENUINE 1722715/1722716 rear camaro calipers SS Model



And the link for rear caliper adapters
