How do you know those are wilwood brakes?

 

enlarge the picture and read the logo on the front caliper

 

I saw that car on The Speed channel. They said that they are a 13 inch kit and that they are made... So I assume so. Keep in mind that is a 2.2L and not an SS.

 

man... I HATE that bodykit... it looks like leno.


I could use a nice brake kit. Any other ones that might be out?

 

wow those are some big Ol' brakes man!

 

the odd color green/gold cobalt with the G6 5 piece glass sunroof , has wilwood brakes

but as far as i know from a friend wilwood wasnt going to offer a kit for the cobalts at this time

but who knows id bug the crap out of them to get them made

 

I just emailed them about this earlier, I was curious because they make a kit for the Cavy up to an 04. still waiting on a response.

 

keep us informed please i might not buy rims if they are going to be making those, b/c i see the ssbc big brake kit as a waist it has the same amount of pistons as our stock ones two in the front one in the back, why even buy them u'd be better off buying powerslots and ebc's.

 

Did you look at all the other cobalt pics on there. Few good looking balts out there.

 

you might have to buy aftermarket rims that will clear the BBK.

 

The stock brakes seem a little underpowered, and especially undersize on the rear. .55 inches thick compared to a full inch or better from a replacement kit.

I`m working w/ a shop in Toronto on a 14" big brake kit useing Wilwood components.

 

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm saving now!!!!!!!!

 

it is true wilwood made a kit for us cav owners , and it is also a down fall for them right now , they havent sold enough of the kits

but they also only made the front kit and didnt make is a rear , and wont at this time because the front is slow moving

personally i own 2 of the wilwood kits for the cavs , and love um

HI I own a 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt SS Supercharged and was curious if
you thought that your company may produce a kit for my car soon?


Jason

 

I guess the moral of the story is if you all want a big brake kit we have to really get on these companys about making us one.

The SSBC kit is not good enough?

ssbc sucks im my opinion , and i dont like the way they look either

wilwood , baer , rotora , brembo , pbr , those are have nice looking calipers

and the sloted rotors are the only way they come , atleast the others you have a little choice

ive used drilled rotors for years with no problems , materials now are better from the days they used to crack , better care in most companies also help

in severe use cases they will still crack , but usually at the point you need to replace them any way


flood gravana tuning , turbo tech , all the vendors here , as well as wilwood them selves , i know several people have asked them about the cobalts
