[QUOTE="someotherguy, post: 21446, member: 6178"] With the Silverado SS it'll be all 2006, and possibly 2005 though 2005 had AWD and RWD choices. The dual piston caliper has been discussed a bunch on the SS forums typically referred to as upgrading to the "Tahoe brakes" - before they were available on the SS. I'd be really surprised if the Suburbans didn't have them, too. If you look up any of the GMT800 applications on Rock you'll see where some have both listings in the brake section - single piston or dual piston caliper for the front. Now if you really wanna get froggy, any of the brake upgrades from GMT800 on up to the K2XX series and maybe even beyond that can be used. Some of them are direct-bolt, some of them take some very minor adapting like spacing the rotor out very slightly with some washers. Of course wheel compatibility become an issue as the rotor gets larger. There's also wheel depth compatibility issues depending on caliper, as some guys have been adapting the 4 piston caliper that has that big rib in the middle of the casting. You could go really wild and get the GMPP 6 piston Brembo caliper with the 16" rotor upgrade.. last time I looked it was $2300+ Richard [/QUOTE]
