Havent heard of anyone doing that but we do offer Big Brake Kits. Our most popular option is the R1 concepts package. Contact me if you would like pricing

I didn't go with bigger calipers, but I did Power stop cross drilled rotors and pads on mine. I have about 500 miles on them, and they stop on a dime. You can really tell the sloppiness of the stock stuff.

+1 for the powerstop. I did the towing kit on mine with calipers, pads, and drilled/slotted rotors then put gm 1-ton wheel cyinders on the rear and it is a night and day difference.

Question.....I got a front caliper that seems to be siezed some(To busy at work to work on my 16 sport)..It could be a wonky slider but based on this thread it seems the front calipers on the gen4 are single piston????
Im seeing some conflict between single and twin poston depending where i search...

Anyone confirm its a single or twin....Dont wanna tear it apart till i get time to start and finish my front break job..

My 18 has Dual piston in the front and single piston in the rear. Just did brakes over the weekend, my calipers are still the originals

my '19 will stop on a dime. the brakes are great even when towing our 6000# trailer. doubt I would want to spend any money changing them out.
