So I was at the dealer having normal service done on my truck and noticed a few new Silverados on the lot had Red Brembo brakes installed on them. I thought maybe it was a dealer installed package of some sort but when I talked to a salesman he said it is now an option, a $2,800 option at that, that can be ordered on the Silverados from the factory. It is fronts only and is a 6-Piston Caliper with 16.1" x 1.3" Rotors. Now these only fit 20" wheels but man they are huge. I took one for a test drive and man these things make a huge difference. I can see these being a nice option for towing 10,000 lbs with the 6.2 Max Tow 1500. Has anybody ordered a Silverado with these yet?
The Salesman said they are they same brake kit included with the ZL1 minus the Carbon Brake Rotors.
The Truck I test drove was a 2017 Crew Cab, 6.5' bed, LTZ 4x4 with the 6.2/Max Tow with a 11,700 lb tow rating and was fully optioned at $68,000. If only I had the spare change, if this exact truck was closer to $50k I probably would of bought it. What a beautiful, smooth riding truck, especially compared to my NNBS.
