Tahoe rst brakes, affordable big brakes down the road?

I keep looking at the article on the RST package. We picked up a 16 burb and there are definitely some appealing options. The color matched front end is way more attractive and the thought of 16" rotors with Brembo calipers had me looking forward to a few years from now.
I keep eyeing the Borla cat back but $1100 for a couple of pipes and a muffler have me second guessing.

First thing I thought about when I saw the Brembo option but I had no idea it was available from GMPP already. Anyone have an idea of how much of a PITA it would be to swap on a GMT900?

Launching!
Drove a Camaro with the brembo braks options when i was looking for something different (2015) and droce it without the brake upgrade.
IMO GM should just make anything with a v8 with brembos. The difference is Huge and wirh brembo is easy and gentle when you want it and aggressive when you need it. Extra sercurtiy on the crazy road in todays world.

Guys, bringing this back. I can't take the factory brakes on my 02 tahoe much longer. I do a lot of driving for work now and the brakes can get very hairy at times coming down from highway speeds.
GM lists these as for 14+ trucks. Is there any reason this wouldn't work on the 99-07 NBS?
Any comments on Brembo versus the Wilwoods in general? A couple things I've noticed comparing these two is that the Wilwood uses a 2 piece rotor versus 1 piece on the Brembos. The brembos are slightly larger 16.1" vs 16" (insignificant I presume). Also the GM kit looks like a true bolt on. No replacement caliper bracket and uses stock brake hose (wilwood requires their own SS lines).
