Hey guys, I was just wondering when i go to put new brakes on my cobalt tc do i need special brake pads since there brembo calipers??

 

yes and rotors, new lines, caliper bolts and wheel spacers

 

.........wut?

Just need the brake pads.

 

.........wut?

Just need the brake pads and rotors.

 

Why would you need to buy new rotors?

 

well not new rotors, but its always good to resurface them, if not replace them. just for saftey. if pads did not wear evenly, it could make rotors inbalance. and guess what happens when you put new pads on an uneven rotor ?

i usually just replace both at the same time, but its usually best to resurface rotors as well...


sometimes tho, if rotors are smooth all the way around, new rotors are not needed. (sometimes)

 

I was confused, but I understand where you are coming from. I didn't have to replace my rotors or get them resurfaced last time I swapped pads so I was a little confused as to why you would need to buy new ones.

 

My question was still never really answered.. do i need special pads for the brembos ?? And ill def turn my rotors

 

I answered you earlier, no you don't need any special kind of pads. I have some from AAP and they're doing just fine.
