Brake Kit for Chevy GMC Silverado Sierra Tahoe Yukon Suburban

In this review the Detroit Axle brake kit is evaluated for owners of full-size GM trucks and SUVs who need a complete front and rear brake refresh. It is best for 2014-2020 Silverado/Sierra and 2015-2020 Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Yukon XL, Escalade and Escalade ESV models that require 12.99 in front and 13.58 in rear rotors. The single biggest reason to consider this kit is that it bundles drilled and slotted rotors, ceramic pads with hardware, brake cleaner and brake fluid into one package built to exceed OEM specification, making a coordinated, direct-fit replacement relatively straightforward.

Key Features

• Complete kit: Includes 2x front and 2x rear drilled and slotted rotors plus matching ceramic pads and hardware so installers get everything needed for a front and rear replacement in one purchase.
• Fitment specifics: Designed for vehicles with 12.99 in front and 13.58 in rear rotor diameter, which reduces guesswork when matching parts to 2014-2020 Silverado and 2015-2020 Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon/Escalade models.
• Brake performance: Drilled and slotted rotors combined with ceramic pads provide improved heat dissipation and consistent stopping feel compared with worn or generic replacements.
• Included consumables: The kit ships with a 10 oz brake cleaner spray and a 12 oz brake fluid bottle to simplify the brake service process and help ensure proper bedding and system maintenance.
• Durability testing: Parts are manufactured to exceed OEM specification and undergo impact, wear, and fatigue testing to support long-term reliability.
• Warranty coverage: Backed by a 10 year warranty which offers added confidence against premature defects.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at DIYers and independent shops working on compatible GM full-size trucks and SUVs who want a single, matched package of rotors and ceramic pads that fit the specified rotor diameters. It is especially useful for owners who prefer drilled and slotted rotors for heat management and an upgraded appearance over plain rotors.

It is less appropriate for police package vehicles or for models outside the listed year ranges and rotor sizes; buyers with specialty braking needs such as heavy towing, track use, or who require a specific aftermarket brand pad compound should consider performance-specific options instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comprehensive kit that includes rotors, ceramic pads, hardware, cleaner and brake fluid for a full front and rear service.
