Does anybody on ss.net have brembo brakes on their cobalt? I was thinking going aftermarket braking system on my car because the facotry gm brakes suck badly!!!

 

Someone help me out here??? or do you guys have another great company for brakes that i can use?

 

IIRC, Brembo doesn't make brakes for our car. There is a company called SSBC that makes them and I also think that you can get either Baer or Wilwood. Not many people have them since they are a $2k+ investment....

 

are u looking to replace everything.. calipers, rotors and pads... there is a big brake kit made by SSBC (Stainless Steel Brake Company)

 

does brembo even have a set up for our car?

 

damn dude you are mighty impatint! 5 minutes isn't en ough time for someone to answer. i'd bet very few member have brembo brakes on their car considering they are several thousand bucks. they are however excellent brakes! ssbc, wilwood and Baer are a few other awesome aftermarket brake companies. i don't know if they make anything for the cobalt though. the other option would be upgrading the stock rotors and pads. you should be able to get the stock brakes pretty good IMO they really aren't all that aweful compared to most other stock braking systems with the exception of the ebrake.

 

yeah i kidna figured they didnt make a braking system for our car but i might want to do teh whole front system now and the rear later on b/c i dont have too much money but wats the link to the SSBC wedsite?

 

ahhh try www.yahoo.com and use the neat little search feature they have become famous for and type SSBC or stainless steel brake company.

contact TheExorcist (Chris) he works there...if u have any questions.. it's like 10min from my house

 

incorrect link there joe......it's www.ssbrakes.com and i changed my username too Ya I do work here.....I might be getting rid of my car(depending on how subaru treats me when i go there) so I might be able to sell you the front and rear kit off my car. It's used but I can get you new rotors,pads and hardware. The only thing that would be used is the calipers(they are powdercoated black). If I end up keeping the car I could probably get you SOME kind of discount.......

 

OO nice thanks man let me know how it goes

 

Well if you are deadset on the whole new rotors/caliper upgrade then its' your money. Though, if you just want to try a rotor and pad upgrade stoptech makes some kickass brake rotors. Have them on my T/A and it helped a bunch after slowing down on the dragstrip. Used to have to use the engine and go down the second cooldown lane and now I can get it shut down by the first.

 

Well, where in New York do you live? I might just take them off and put the stockers back on. I could always use the extra cash. Pretty much it's all up to you. I'd rather have someone else get them rather than the subaru dealer lol. Make me a reasonable offer THROUGH PM and Ill think about it.

 

I actually think the stock brakes are pretty damn good. But to each his own.

 

I agree the stock brakes are pretty damn good. All it needs it some slotted or drilled rotors,EBC Green stuff pads,Stainless steel brake lines.

 

Our stock brakes are one of the best out there! But if your not happy with them then thats all that matters. SSBC makes a great system but have you looked at the EBC stuff? They make pads and rotors for our cars that should almost double the factory braking ability from how it did on my old Cavi. I also think HAWK has some stuff out too.

 

SSBC is a good company and was in my hometown of Buffalo, NY. They make some nice BBKs.

 

i made my decsion im only going to upgrade the rotors and pads

 

Thats all you need.

 

Hahaha, so you made the $300 decision instead of the $3k....

 

If your upgrading your rotors and pads you might as well spend another $100 and get Stainless Steel Brake Lines

 

Now a Subaru chris? What now? and if u didn't know both links bring u to the same page.. duh! jk whats new

 

thats exactly right lol i need to get my gm stage 2 kit running tho i want it so badly with the 2.8

 

I would have probably sold you the front and rear used for like $1000. Including new pads,rotors and hardware(black calipers).......anyone can buy em' if they want them.

 

$1000 bucks... that's a steal!!!
