Wilwood AERO6 19-24 Chevy/GMC Silverado/Sierra Direct-Mount Armored Vehicle Front Brake Kit
The Wilwood AERO6 Direct-Mount Armored Vehicle Front Brake Kit. Engineered for extreme-duty applications, this kit equips 2019-2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, and 2021-2024 Cadillac Escalade models with a direct-mount system that handles increased vehicle weight from armor plating, larger tires, and wheel upgrades. Compared to factory brakes, it delivers greater stopping force through its six-piston calipers and oversized slotted rotors, maintaining consistent performance during repeated high-load stops and in high-heat scenarios. Truck owners in demanding environments such as off-road, towing, or security operations rely on this setup for dependable control that stock systems cannot match under similar stresses.
Precise Vehicle Fitment
This brake kit installs directly onto factory disc spindles without adapters, ensuring a straightforward bolt-on process for:
- Chevrolet Silverado 1500: 2019-2024 (all trims, including LT, RST, LTZ, High Country)
- GMC Sierra 1500: 2019-2024 (all trims, including SLE, SLT, AT4, Denali)
- Cadillac Escalade: 2021-2024 (Luxury, Premium Luxury, Premium Luxury Platinum, Sport, ESV variants)
Requires minimum 17-inch wheels for clearance, verify fit with your specific wheel offset using the included installation diagram. Compatible with original equipment master cylinders and ABS systems for seamless integration.
Complete Kit Contents with Part Numbers
Every purchase includes all essential components for a full front brake upgrade:
- Left-Hand AERO6 Caliper (Part No. 120-16826): Six-piston design with 1.75-inch and 1.62-inch stainless steel pistons, Type III anodized silver finish for corrosion resistance, 6.52 square inches of piston area.
- Right-Hand AERO6 Caliper (Part No. 120-16825): Matching six-piston setup for balanced braking.

- TX1 High-Friction Brake Pads: Compound optimized for heavy-duty use, 11.1 square inches of pad area, 5.2 cubic inches of volume, providing strong initial bite and fade resistance up to high temperatures.
- Stainless Steel Brake Line Kit (Part No. 220-10979): Flexible lines for improved pedal feel and durability over rubber hoses.
No additional hardware is needed beyond basic tools for installation.
Key Specifications and Performance Details
- Rotor Design: Slotted surface enhances cooling by expelling gases and heat, supporting sustained braking in extreme conditions ideal for armored vehicles exceeding 8,000 pounds GVWR.
- Caliper Features: Lug-mount configuration clamps directly to the spindle, distributing force evenly across the rotor for shorter stopping distances and reduced fade compared to four-piston alternatives.
- Overall System Benefits: Larger rotor mass and pad volume increase thermal capacity by over 50% versus OEM, resulting in quicker response and safer handling during emergency maneuvers or heavy towing.
- Part Weight: Individual rotor approximately 25 pounds (kit total estimated at 80-90 pounds based on similar AERO6 assemblies).
- Shipping Box Dimensions: 16 inches width x 15.50 inches depth x 15.75 inches height, securely packaged to prevent damage in transit.
This Wilwood kit sets the standard for armored vehicle braking, offering the reliability and power needed to outperform everyday upgrades in real-world heavy-duty use.
