TBM XS3 Front Extreme Street Brake Kit (012-0291) - 1999-2018 Chevy Silverado & GMC Sierra 1500 5-Lug

Cut substantial front brake weight while gaining serious stopping performance with the TBM Brakes XS3 Front Extreme Street Brake Kit for 1999-2018 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 2WD and 4WD applications. Designed for trucks using modified factory front hubs redrilled to a 5x4.75-inch or 5x5-inch bolt pattern, this system replaces approximately 85 pounds of factory front brake components with a complete XS3 package weighing about 34 pounds. The result is a savings of more than 51 pounds from the front of the truck, along with improved pedal feel, reduced rotating mass, and strong braking capability.

Developed from more than 30 years of TBM racing experience, the XS3 Series combines compact 12.19-inch slotted and vented rotors with rigid billet four-piston calipers to bridge the gap between lightweight race brakes and larger street performance systems. Each caliper is machined from solid 6061 aluminum and fitted with CNC-machined 304 stainless steel pistons, while billet aluminum brake hats further reduce unnecessary rotating weight. The kit is engineered to work with many factory, steel, and drag racing wheels measuring 15 inches or larger when sufficient clearance is available.

Caliper Design

The XS3 Extreme Street caliper brings technology developed through TBM's racing brake programs into a compact street performance package. Its all-billet 6061 aluminum construction and rigid bridge design help minimize flex for a more direct pedal feel. Four 1.75-inch stainless steel pistons per caliper generate substantial clamping force, while the internal crossflow fluid design helps distribute hydraulic pressure evenly without using exposed crossover tubes.

Rotor Design

The included 12.19-inch cast rotors use a slotted and vented design to balance braking performance, heat management, durability, weight, and wheel clearance. Their compact diameter helps the XS3 package fit many factory and aftermarket wheels measuring 15 inches or larger. Dark zinc plating adds corrosion protection on rotor surfaces that are not contacted by the brake pads.

Brake Pads

This kit includes Hawk Performance HPS brake pads featuring a Ferro-Carbon friction compound. The HPS material offers a strong balance of stopping capability, manageable brake dust, and reduced noise compared to more aggressive racing compounds.

Billet Brake Hats

TBM's billet aluminum brake hats reduce rotating mass by replacing the heavier steel center section commonly used in traditional one-piece rotors. Their stepped mounting design also allows minor offset adjustment to help achieve proper brake alignment during installation.

Kit Includes

  • One 12.19-inch vented rotor, Part #3-12198108778-1
  • One 12.19-inch vented rotor, Part #3-12198108778-2
  • Two billet aluminum 5-lug brake hats, Part #205-0008-5

  • Two caliper brackets, Part #17-0079
  • Complete set of Hawk Performance HPS brake pads, Part #6-0002HPS
  • Complete hardware kit, Part #011-0338

Additional Notes

  • This kit is designed for factory front hubs that have been professionally modified and redrilled to either a 5x4.75-inch or 5x5-inch bolt pattern.
  • Requires 1/2-inch wheel studs.
  • Fits many 15-inch and larger factory, steel, and aftermarket wheels when sufficient clearance is available.
  • Always verify wheel barrel and caliper clearance before installation.
  • TBM does not recommend silicone-based brake fluid with these calipers.
  • Use only approved DOT 3, DOT 4, or DOT 5.1 brake fluid.
  • TBM Extreme 6 brake fluid is recommended for best results.
  • This brake system performs best at approximately 600 to 800 PSI brake pressure during normal braking.
  • Proper master cylinder sizing and pedal ratio are essential for correct brake operation and performance.
  • Manufacturer source material also references 1998 applications. Verify 1998 vehicle compatibility before ordering, as the listed product application is identified as 1999-2018.
