Brembo Big Brake Kits for Chevrolet Silverado 1500 GMT900 (2007-2013)

This page lists every Brembo big brake kit we offer for the GMT900 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2007-2013, and the Avalanche of the same generation, which Brembo lists alongside it. There are two front kits and one rear kit: a GT 6-piston front kit on 380x34mm two-piece discs, a GT 8-piston front kit on 412x38mm two-piece drilled discs, and a GT 4-piston rear kit on 380x32mm two-piece 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.

The 6-piston front kit and the rear kit are offered with drilled, Type 1 slotted or Type 3 slotted discs and come in black, red or silver. The 8-piston kit comes in black, red, yellow or fluorescent yellow with drilled discs. Please read the fitment notes: Brembo notes that the 6-piston front kit requires modification to the OEM steering knuckle, and lifted trucks are not compatible with the included brake lines.

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 412x38mm discs. Then comes one rear kit: a GT 4-piston kit on 380x32mm discs. Each kit name gives the axle, the system (GT or PISTA), the piston count and the disc size.

• 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 rear GT 4-piston 380x32mm kit; Drilled on the front GT 8-piston 412x38mm kit.

FAQ

Which trucks does this fit?
Brembo lists every kit on this page for the GMT900 1500 Silverado and Avalanche, 2007-2013. The GMT900 Tahoe and Suburban have their own page. Heavy-duty 2500 and 3500 trucks are not on this listing.

6-piston or 8-piston front kit?
The 8-piston 412x38mm kit is the larger package, with the most heat capacity, and needs the most wheel clearance. The 6-piston 380x34mm kit fits more wheels and offers slotted discs.

Does the 6-piston kit bolt straight on?
No. Brembo notes that the 6-piston 380x34mm front kit requires modification to the OEM steering knuckle. The 8-piston front kit and the rear kit carry 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 380x32mm rear kit for better balance and heat capacity if you tow or haul often, or for matching calipers front and rear.

Will these kits fit my wheels?
Every big brake kit needs wheel clearance, and the 412mm 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 GMT900 Chevrolet 1500 Silverado and Avalanche, 2007-2013. 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.

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