Someone mentioned in a thread about our rear brakes, that if the parts to fixing a car are not available in a reasonable period of time that you can have them pay for aftermarket parts. Further looking into my packet of books that came with my car, i found in the limited warranty and owner assistance information booklet(thinner than the owners manual), that in emergencies you can have GM pay for aftermarket parts and labor. In paragraph 2 under the heading "Maintenance and repair" on page 28 (i have the g/f's G6 manual, maybe a different page in the cobalts one) that an emergency is; "A part not being available withing 10 days or a repair not being completed within 30 days constitutes an emergency."

I'm throwing this out here cause im sure someone wants to throw on a nice set of aftermarket rotors and some better pads. My only concern is my lack of knowledge in this mechanical area as most brake part sites don't have much on the SS/TC. So if any one has a solution (rotors and pads) by all means post it up, i'm very interested. Thanks guys

 

Great Info. Never heard of this before. But don't the TC's come with Brembo's?

 

i think brembos are only on the front... THINK, don't know for sure. Either way, the rears LOOK Chevy OEM

 

GREAT info. i dont have a SSTC but i do appreciate a member doing some research for the greater good.

 

thanks

 

Brembos are only on the fronts. The rears are getting chewed up prematurely so this info definately helps. Thank you.

 

good find!

 

good info i need to get mine back to the damn dealer i can just never find time and its just a pain in the ass to get to

 

Glad you found it Hiltu, sorry I didnt get reply to your PM.



Ive only been telling people this for quite sometime........Everybody is just in a GM bashing mood, or just blows me off with the "dealer cant use aftermarket parts" speach......... I dont pull this **** out of my ass guys.......

 

So i wanna give Maven the credit for this find, he is the one that mentioned the information i found in the owners manual

Anybody find a good set of rotors for the rear yet, seems pads are covered?

 

Thanks

I havent been able to verify it yet 100% but I think that the Brembo rotor #25814 might fit....the only reason it might not is the offest may be different
