I recently had my trusted local repair shop replace the front/rear brake pads/disks on my 19 Yukon XL SLT. To avoid an accident in front of me I had to jam on the brakes really hard and experienced brake fade and a soiled drivers seat....
Is there a factory upgrade to improve my brake system? Are the police pursuit brake calipers/pads different from standard OEM brake parts?
Thx for any help

ps... Go Vote!!!

I believe the ppv setup runs bigger rotors and brembo calipers if I’m not mistaken

As far as I know the 2015-2020 PPV brake pads are different compound, maybe slightly harder rotors for severe duty but nothing else is different. If you need more braking power your options are the 6 piston performance clippers and rotors ($$$$) or the 4 piston caliper and rotor retrofit from 2021-2024. there is also a 6 piston PPV caliper option from the 2021-2024 PPV but it is also retrofit not a direct bolt on.
