Damn, that was quick. Check out Hawk pads to see if they have any available.

Goodluck finding pads from either EBC or Hawk, I've already checked. If you do, please give us the part #.

Look up the 2007 Cobalt SS. Same part number applies for that one too. This part does not , and I repeat, DOES NOT fit the Brembo calipers!!!!

Nice try though. On a side note. There are no companies that make pads for the 08/09 SS/TC as of right now. You will need to find some another car (make and model) that runs this caliper to find brake pads.

IMO, slap on some GM replacement ones for winter and next spring swap out for some EBC or Hawk, when they finally get around to proper setup on some of the sites.
