If im not mistaken the only thing "stock" on your brake system is ur brake pads. The rotors are drilled and slotted 14's with a big caliper to clamp down on that big boy. I wish i had more info on where you can buy them because for awhile i had a guy who had a bunch of RST parts that he got when they sold out and he had the rotors but not the calipers. He was asking like $300 PER rotor plus shipping. It was rediculous so just giving u a heads up it not gonna be cheap... at all...

I know Baer makes a kit for the silverados but be prepared to put down like $1000-$2000 for em.

factory pads...factory calipers...aftermarket rotors...red caliper covers...either way convert over to ceramic pads so you don't pit the rims up...
