May need to save up but would def buy

 

First customer. I will mock it up on a spare rear beam but it could be easier to swap out the beam are there mods to the beam for your air ride? You know where I live it will take a couple if weeks for the e brake assemblies and rights to get here so start saving. It may not cost that much. Depends on the Brembo caliper

 

Yea I had to cut off the spring retainer nipples but they could b welded back on

 

I'm local as well and kinda interested pending the setup and price. Will it use the stock rotor size for the rear?

 

roughly the same diameter didnt I post a picture? This is the rotor. The caliper of course will be different and I am not sure how far up I will clock the caliper. Probably closer to axle centerline

 

Sub'd.
Funny how the guy that started this thread no longer owns his Cobalt
But thanks for getting this started Mike!!

 

dont care about the nipples it will be easier to prep a drum brake beam for you, BUT you cant use a bolt on rear bar, right? better text me tonight busy doing shipping and fab stuff

 

Yes that's correct I can't use a bolt in rear sway bar

 

Will text u later john

 

haha I know. I'm fickle!

I did go through 5 different tunes and tuners, 4 lowering springs, 2 intakes and 2 Cobalts lol.

At least I can leave something behind that'll contribute to the good of the SS's.

 

saw something on facebook recently. this might be in the works!

 

that was a front setup you saw on facebook today. that car is there LSJ car and it had factory brakes with upgraded pads and rotors. Looks like the took calipers off a Camaro and were able to run a huge front rotor. 14.5 I believe they said

 

Well at least I figured out part of the old rear brake problem you had still would love to see a brembo caliper back there even if it was a simple single piston.

 

its so much effort but it goes like this: cut off ears for caliper on rear beam. or install drum brake beam. install my adaptor plates, install 9.5 saab rear brake assembly rotors ebrake in rotor hat, and a brembo rear caliper.

done.

1750.0

oh and you supply the drum rear beam or cutyour ears off i am not shipping beams.

you asked. I answered.

pictures. ignore the caliper and rotor, this illustrates the bracket


this is the rotor, with a drum ebrake in the rotor, ignore the slider caliper

 

Def is a lot of work, nice to know someone has a solution, again john produces the solutions for ppl that ask the questions

 

Hey john, what calipers can be used in this setup? you say to ignore the slider.....so which caliper do we use?

 

Brembo. not cheep. single piston monobloc It is important to maintain the same fluid volumes as the stock caliper otherwise you will risk running out of brake pedal stroke as the pads wear.
Just read your email on my phone re send i cant see pictures for some reason iphone choked on them.

 

So the 1750 includes what?

 

Holy hell look at those meats!

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using CobaltSS

 

John what calipers r u using? Don't need to tell me straight up but can we get a pic?

 

single piston brembo. this will be an october project i think.

 

Good will give me a chance to save up now that I have a price lol

Need rims first tho

 

Awesome, I'm swapping to brembo front's soon while doing a 5 lug swap. Now I've just got to save up for this and I won't even have to worry about having a drum rear beam.

 

troof. other than brake balance drum rear beams are an advantage.

 

So does this kit ship or we come to you? I'd be interested in making the trip seeing as it's not too far for me (outside of Buffalo, NY).
