I'm either going to paint the calipers red with black brembo lettering or silver with black brembo lettering. Also, I just ordered monochrome badges and a black escalade badge for the tailgate. Should i paint the calipers red or silver?

Please report back with how much better pedal feel you have and braking power after this upgrade. I'm on the fence. A lot of squeeze for not a lot of juice, as it were... Or maybe it's worth it!

To be honest, I dont feel much of a difference. Pedal is a tad bit more responsive. No comparisone to my last escalade setup (Willwood 6 piston F/R). If I were you, I would wait until Wilwood produces a kit. I have been somewhat distracted with my service suspension light which has appeared 3 times tonight. I'm hopping GM will have a fix soon.

I was going to run a custom Willwood setup..however I'm running into fabrication issues. Does anyone know if the 2021 tahoe and escalade have the same F/R brake setup. If so, I will be ordering the performance F/R brembo upgrade. Thank you.

Yes they have the same set up. I wouldn't waste money for the rear its just a painted caliper. I have a set of brembo brakes for the trucks if you'd like to purchase. (2) Chevrolet Performance and (1) Cadillac Brembo kit

The brake pedal will not feel any different on a 21. The brake pedal is not actually connected to the hydraulics at all.

What's up with that? The brake upgrade throws codes?
