Did you need to install a spacer washer beween the caliper and knuckle?
I have not heard of any factory rear upgrades...
@Doubeleive has positive reviews of the baer claw brakes that mount the stock caliper further out with a larger rotor.
I have also seen some aftermarket brackets that mount gm(older camaro?) 4 pots...

Are the Dual Piston Rear Calipers noticeably better?
Just wanted to ask as Ive been on 4 sets of scales in the last few weeks and am averaging 3400 front axle and 3480 rear axle... We had another 24hrs of Appalachia Off-Road Rally last weekend; and I had a several mile stretch (again) at the end of a long long downhill traverse with 16-18...

Did you use the new brake hoses too?
Might insulate that spot that looks like it might rub on the upper arm.

I’ve done the rear Baer upgrade with the 14” rotors and EBC Red pads. They are
Worth it and stop very well. They are a welcome addition to the PPV brakes I have in the front. I’ve considered the SSBC calipers but am unsure of brake pad choices other than theirs.

Did you test to see if your wheels will clear? I just did PPV front brakes on my 2011 Sub LTZ and I had to put 12mm spacers just to barely clear the front calipers. I didn't do anything with the rears yet but generally 70% of the braking is done with the front so I wouldn't think you would need alot in the back for DD.
