| SKU | BBK-CAD-ESC-F-V6-380 | Minimum order quantity | 1 set |
| Compatible Vehicles | Cadillac Escalade; the record names no chassis, so the VIN, model year and wheel data decide | Year Range | The live record leaves the range unverified; public references put the K2XL generation at 2015–2020 and the T1XL from 2021, so the VIN decides |
| Supplementary Note | Trim, market version, load and the original front brake package are collected before the bracket and disc plan is fixed | Brake Line / Interface Notes | Two hoses per front set; bracket position and hose routing are confirmed after the VIN, wheel and disc review |
| Front / Rear Axle | Front axle | Installation Type | Confirm before order |
| Additional Setup Required | Depends on the vehicle | Package Scope | Front axle kit |
| Brake Kit Notes | Brembo V6 six-piston front caliper setup with 345 mm, 355 mm or 380 mm rotor options; the front kit is an upgrade rather than an OE replacement | Included Brake Parts | 2 calipers, 4 brake pads, 2 rotors, 2 custom bells and brackets, 2 brake hoses and brake fluid, subject to the selected product model |
| Warranty | 5 years against manufacturing/quality defects only | Packaging | Standard export packaging |

Trailer weight comes before the caliper
Key takeaways
- Start with the load: this is a body-on-frame full-size SUV, so the trailer and the passenger load shape the disc choice before the model year does.
- A kit is not a rating: upgrading the front calipers does not raise what the vehicle may legally tow.
- On the record: 18 inch wheels pair with 345 mm or 355 mm discs, 19 inch with 355 mm or 380 mm, and 20 inch and 21 inch with 380 mm, in a 45 x 45 x 45 cm carton at 45 kg.
- Before release: installation stays Confirm before order; the record also states this is not an OE replacement part.
So this Cadillac Escalade big brake kit V6 6 piston front record is written around mass rather than around a chassis list. Buyers here are usually loading the vehicle or putting something behind the hitch, and the questions that follow are about heat, verification and paperwork rather than about lap times. Everything below answers one of those three.
Daily duty, or something behind the hitch?
Two duty cycles reach this page, and they ask for different proof.
Family duty and long grades
A loaded Escalade on a mountain pass works the front brakes harder than its kerb weight suggests, because the mass keeps arriving at the corner after the trailer has already pushed. A larger disc buys thermal headroom rather than shorter stopping distance on paper, and the pad choice matters as much as the caliper count.
Towing, and the paperwork
A trailer adds load, not rating. The kit changes the hardware and nothing else, so the trailer stays inside the vehicle’s own published limits. What we can help with is proof: disc size, bracket drawing and packing data that an importer can hand to a customer before the container leaves.
Its fitment note names importers and installers in Africa, Europe, Ukraine, Kenya, South Africa, Kazakhstan and Russian-speaking markets, and says the main concern is whether the kit can be verified before shipment. That is the standard this page is written to.
Which Escalade is it: GMT900, K2XL or T1XL?
The file needs five inputs, and the first one is the car itself. Public references run the name through GMT400 (1998), GMT800 (2002), GMT900 (2007), K2XL (2015–2020) and T1XL (2021–), all on the same body-on-frame family as the Tahoe and Yukon. A 2008 Escalade and a 2018 Escalade are therefore two different brake files, and the year range is left unverified on the record so the VIN closes it.
| Control field | On the record now | Send with the enquiry |
|---|---|---|
| Page SKU | BBK-CAD-ESC-F-V6-380 | The quotation and packing list carry this reference |
| Vehicle identity | Escalade; year, market and trim are not supplied | VIN, model year, market and trim |
| Factory front brakes | Original front disc size required before quotation | Current disc diameter plus caliper photos |
| Wheel | 18 inch and above, clearance check required | Diameter, width and offset; spoke and barrel photos |
| Duty and destination | Not supplied | Trailer or load habit, plus the destination country |
On aftermarket wheels two more numbers come up: ET – the offset from the mounting face to the wheel centre line, and J – the bead-profile code stamped into the rim. A factory wheel needs its diameter, and the VIN carries the brake version.
Wheel-to-rotor planning from 18 to 21 inch
Planning reference only. Below 18 inch the plan stops, and a 17 inch wheel is not on the record at all.
| Wheel | On the record | Measure before approval |
|---|---|---|
| 18 inch | 345 mm or 355 mm | Spoke shape, barrel depth, width and offset |
| 19 inch | 355 mm or 380 mm | Rim measurements against the factory brake envelope |
| 20 inch | 380 mm | Offset and caliper protrusion with the tyre fitted |
| 21 inch | 380 mm | Full envelope check before the bell is machined |
Diameter is not clearance
A market kit for the heavy-duty version of this platform is listed as available for 330 mm rotors and bigger only, and its catalogue spans 286 mm, 304 mm, 330 mm, 356 mm, 380 mm and 405 mm. That describes a platform sibling rather than this set, and it repeats the same lesson: two wheels of one diameter can sit completely differently around a six-piston body. Thickness and bell height for this kit are named in the quotation.
What ships, and what stays a wear part
Six groups sit in the set, with one qualifier attached to the fluid line. Here is the same list, plus what it does not turn into.
| Group | Quantity on the record | Settled in the quotation |
|---|---|---|
| Front caliper | 2 calipers | Finish and the unit that is packed |
| Brake pad | 4 pads | Compound and shape matched to the calipers |
| Brake rotor | 2 rotors | Diameter, thickness, face finish and bell height |
| Bell and bracket | 2 brackets | Cut to the approved front-axle mounting points, with the bell matched to the disc |
| Brake hose | 2 hoses | Fitting type, routing and a steering-lock check |
| Brake fluid | 1 bottle, depending on product model | Grade and volume confirmed with the set |
Not an OE replacement, and not a free pass
The record states this plainly: the kit is a front axle upgrade, not a replacement for a factory brake part, and it does not make the vehicle a modified-certified car in any market. Pads and discs stay wear items, a fixed caliper still takes 2 pads, one each side of the disc, and rear calipers and parking-brake hardware are quoted as their own set.
Materials on file, and the import document question
The site material record lists 7050 aluminium alloy for the caliper body, hat and bracket, ceramic friction material for the pads and high-carbon cast iron for the discs. Those grades come from the site-wide record, and no batch sheet was written for this kit.
The document question gets its own answer, because the old page raised it and then left it hanging. No certificate file is held for this SKU, so nothing here claims one, and no import approval is promised. If a market needs a specific document, it goes on the enquiry and is answered before the order is confirmed rather than after the container is booked.
Two more gaps stay visible. No OEM part number is published, and no brake test exists for this set, so no stopping distance, fade or bias figure appears on the page.
Quotation, deposit, carton, delivery
One vehicle
The file opens with the VIN and the wheel data. With the disc and bracket answers approved, the quotation is issued, a 30% deposit releases production, and the build window is 3–7 business days. Dispatch follows about 20–35 business days, and the balance is settled before the set leaves.
Batches and resale
A set starts at USD 518 for the first band, drops to USD 488 between 10 and 49 sets and to USD 428 between 50 and 199 sets. MOQ stays at 1 set, so a dealer can fit a sample before committing a container. Packing is a 45 x 45 x 45 cm carton listed at 45 kg gross, weighed again before dispatch. Defect cover runs 5 years against manufacturing and quality faults, and the duplicate 12-month lines are on the removal list.
Questions that arrive before an Escalade order
Does a brake kit change what my Escalade can tow?
It does not. A front caliper kit changes the braking hardware, not the rating the vehicle was built and certified to; the trailer stays inside the limits printed for your car. What the kit changes is heat and clamping behaviour under a load, and that is what we size the discs for.
Which rotor belongs behind 18 inch or 21 inch wheels?
Planning values are 345 mm or 355 mm at 18 inch, 355 mm or 380 mm at 19 inch, and 380 mm at 20 inch and 21 inch. A market kit for the heavy-duty version of this platform is listed as 330 mm and bigger only, with options from 286 mm to 405 mm, so treat every figure as a planning value. The wheel file decides, and the quotation names the disc.
Is this a pads-and-rotors replacement?
No, and the record says so itself. This is a front big brake caliper kit: calipers, rotors, pads, hoses and custom mounting parts. It should not be compared with a basic pad-and-rotor service, and it does not make the vehicle an OE replacement part.
What has to be sent before a quotation?
VIN, model year and market, the current wheel size with offset, the original front disc size, and photos of the wheel, the spoke and the inner barrel. Add the trailer weight and the terrain you drive if the vehicle works hard, because that guides the disc choice more than the badge does.
Which warranty applies — the 12 months in the tables or the 5 years in the panel?
One value only: 5 years against manufacturing and quality defects. The 12-month strings in the benefits list and the specification table are duplicates from an earlier build and are being removed, because a page that publishes two answers publishes none.
Are import documents supplied with the kit?
No certificate file is held for this SKU, so nothing on this page claims one. Import documents are discussed per market before the order is confirmed, and buyers who need a specific file for Kenya, South Africa, Europe or Kazakhstan should raise it at the enquiry stage.
Photos, and the first message to send
Six pictures come from the seller’s kit family: two flat-lays, a boxed two-axle layout and one front-corner shot of a dark full-size SUV with a red caliper behind the spokes, plus the VIN location guide and the colour and rotor-face chart. Three more are shared template images. The vehicle in the corner shot is not identified.
The message that opens the file: VIN, model year and market, the wheel size with offset, ET and J on aftermarket rims, the original front disc diameter, what the vehicle carries or tows, and photos of the spoke and inner barrel. The reply carries the disc size, the bracket schedule and the price.
