Yes as I couldn’t find anything that was listed specifically for the PPV. And nothing on the pads themselves crossed or had any automotive related results.
I was hoping to edit the post faster than your reply lol ill order it from my GM connect, and i guess ill have to do the pads as well.

I did also notice with the dynamic stuff it does specifically state “exc Police package” so there must be a difference betweek the GM performance bbk and the PPV 6pot.

I would check the pads you have versus the caliper. The Dynamic pads I got fit like they were supposed to be there; only problem was the pin placement.

The best I can tell from pictures is the GM performance calipers have their pins more towards the center of the caliper. Oh and they are a two piece, bolt together caliper.

From what I’ve read on here and feedback from a sheriff deputy the oem pads squeal like crazy.

But what good are the dynamic pads if they dont place in the correct alignment for the pin to be able to slide through to hold in place? I am still waiting on them to come in though. Lol.

Am I understanding you correctly that its the correct alignment? Please do correct me.

Thanks for the input! What I ordered was specifically for the 6 piston PPV, not Brembo. I went semi metallic so I hope they don't squeal.

I did forget the bracket, anyone have those part numbers?

I tried reuploading the pic but I had the ones from RockAuto vs the oem ones. You can see the pin placement is in different spots.

Is there not a caliper mount bracket?
No, the PPV 6pots have mounting tabs already formed into the caliper. Think of the 4pot from the 19-21’ trucks and SUVs. They align to the same mounting points as your OEM caliper brackets, the only thing i am sure will come to light will be the centering of the caliper to the rotor, you may need to space the caliper where it bolts on with a washer, so that the caliper can have the rotor centered.

But wait! Dont you have a 2015+?! I am asking based off your avatar.

Check posts 43-45. They have my pictures and some info. Post 45 has the comparison of the dynamic friction pads vs the oem PPV pads.
