t.may Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Finally looking to upgrade the stock brakes on my 2004 SS. Was talking to the tech at Wilwood and he wasn't sure that their front kit (140-13876-R) would fit because of the AWD of the SS. Anyone upgraded their SS with Wilwood brakes and knows it works? Thanks in advance... https://www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/BrakeKitsProdFront?itemno=140-13876-R&year=2004&make=Chevrolet&model=Silverado+1500+Pickup&option=6+Lug+-+4+x+4+w%2f+OE+HD+2+Piston+Rear+Brake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partsman57 Posted August 13, 2021 Report Share Posted August 13, 2021 Not sure on the Wilwood kit but the four piston caliper setup off of a 2019-2020 will bolt directly on. Found this video on it. Seems pretty simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1981evildisco Posted August 21, 2021 Report Share Posted August 21, 2021 That’s pretty cool man. I wonder if the factory Brembo kit would work as well from that model year. I personally am going to get the Wilwood kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the factory Brembo kit would work as well from that model year. I personally am going to get the Wilwood kit. It's been discussed on some other forums and yeah, pretty sure that Brembo kit is a bolt-on. With a 16" rotor you'd need some good wheel clearance. I'm not sure the 22" Centerlines I've got would even work due to the inside-the-hoop valve stem placement. The wheel itself should clear but I'm worried the valve stem will hit the caliper.
