Brembo Big Brake Kits for Chevrolet Silverado 1500 GMT800 (2000-2006)

This page lists every Brembo big brake kit we offer for the GMT800 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2000-2006. Brembo lists the same kits for the GMT800 Tahoe, Suburban 1500 and Avalanche, so those owners can order here too. There are two front kits and one rear kit: a GT 6-piston and a GT 8-piston front kit, both on 380x34mm two-piece discs, and a GT 4-piston rear kit on 355x32mm two-piece drilled discs. A full-size truck or SUV is heavy, and if you tow, haul or run larger wheels and tires, a bigger brake gives shorter, more consistent stops with less fade. A Brembo system replaces the caliper and disc on the axle you choose with a matched caliper, disc and pad package, sold as a complete axle set.

Both front kits are offered with drilled, Type 1 slotted or Type 3 slotted discs. Every kit on this page comes in black, red or silver. Please read the fitment notes before ordering: Brembo notes that both front kits require modification to the OEM steering knuckle, and lifted trucks are not compatible with the included brake lines.

Brembo's own short overview of its GT big brake kits. The calipers, finishes and discs in the video are examples; the kit you get is the one you select above.

Choosing Your Kit

• Kit: Two front kits are listed first: a GT 6-piston kit on 380x34mm discs and a GT 8-piston kit on 380x34mm discs. Then comes one rear kit: a GT 4-piston kit on 355x32mm discs. Each kit name gives the axle, the system (GT or PISTA), the piston count and the disc size.
• Finish: every kit on this page comes in black, red, and silver. A finish that a kit does not offer cannot be selected for it.
• Disc Type: drilled discs suit street driving and give good wet-weather bite; Type 1 Slotted is a street and occasional-track disc; Type 3 Slotted is aimed at regular track days. Offered as follows: Drilled, Type 1 Slotted, and Type 3 Slotted on the front GT 6-piston 380x34mm kit and front GT 8-piston 380x34mm kit; Drilled on the rear GT 4-piston 355x32mm kit.

FAQ

Which trucks does this fit?
Brembo lists every kit on this page for the GMT800 1500 Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban and Avalanche, 2000-2006. The Avalanche arrived for 2002. Heavy-duty 2500 and 3500 trucks are not on this listing.

6-piston or 8-piston front kit?
Both use the same 380x34mm disc and the same disc choices. The 8-piston caliper spreads the clamping force over more pad area. Brembo notes that both front kits require modification to the OEM steering knuckle.

Do the front kits bolt straight on?
No. Brembo notes that both 380x34mm front kits, 6-piston and 8-piston, require modification to the OEM steering knuckle. The rear kit carries no such note.

Will these fit a lifted truck or SUV?
Brembo designs GT systems for vehicles at original ride height, and increased ride height is not compatible with the brake lines included in these kits.

Should I add the rear kit?
The front kit does most of the work. Add the 4-piston rear kit for better balance and heat capacity if you tow or haul often, or if you want matching calipers front and rear.

Will these kits fit my wheels?
Every big brake kit needs wheel clearance, and the 380mm kits need the most room on the Silverado. Send us your wheel size and offset and we will check them against Brembo's clearance data before you order.

Fitment Notes

Brembo lists all kits on this page for the GMT800 Chevrolet 1500 Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban and Avalanche, 2000-2006. Brembo GT systems are designed for cars at original ride height. Raising the ride height is not compatible with the brake lines included in these systems. The rear kits have no kit photo of their own yet, so they show the main page image; the rear kit is a 4-piston caliper, not the 6-piston caliper in that photo.

Brembo application notes for specific kits:

• Front: GT 6-Piston 380x34mm: Requires modification to the OEM steering knuckle.
• Front: GT 8-Piston 380x34mm: Requires modification to the OEM steering knuckle.

Each kit fits the vehicles listed below. Confirm wheel clearance before ordering.
