i have the J41 the single iron piston 50mm. wondering how to get something better. i found new rotors but no one makes a single kit for mine other than the big brake kit (that i've found) and i dont need to spend 1K just wanted something better on there... if theres nothing available whats the exact specs so i could have one custom ordered from wilwood? sorry FNG at brakes i just know how to change them...

 

Yea, not really any options besides the SSBC BBK or a custom kit for the 4 lug. You can physically bolt up the SS brakes and have the rotors redrilled for 4 lug though if memory serves me correctly

 

just want a nicer caliper wish i could swap it directly with the ss

 

If the ss calipers bolt up look into finding the right dimension 4 lug rotor. Redrilling should be possible tho for a ss rotor.

 

if someone can find me the complete specs ill order it and dedicate that part in your name!!! and witch SS bolts up? TC or SC?

thanks for the help

 

SS/SC, the TCs will not fit without a fitment kit

 

Look into brake line fittings if you change the calipers there is a chance they are different. Also the line length is probably different and you may lose abs because of the different size rotors/ higher braking force. I am by no means an expert on this stuff. I would contact powell or maven. they should be able to help you out better than me.

 

ah i feel like an expert now! (not really) the J41 dosent have abs only the JM4 does. they are the exact same just ABS gives it the JM4 label. and ill see what i can do. john's pretty cool guy ill start there dont really know maven and wouldnt wanna bug him.

 

Do as much research as possible before you buy any parts. if it works i may consider this swap myself.

 

oh i def will, just a little hard still deployed in all but if i can find a less than 1K solution ill go that route if not i prob wont do anything then

 

if you decide to go the ss brake route pm me i have a pair of front lsj calipers the brackets and lines just sitting in my garage

 

I'm pretty sure Powell makes a kit/can fab a kit pretty easily. Or you can just do the 5 lug swap and make your life a lot easier

 

ill keep my options open fellas got about a month to figure it out. thanks for the help!

 

emailed john AND found this...SSBC Big Brake Kit Front Chevy Cobalt 05-07 2.2L
dosent make it quite so hard on the wallet :/

 

Did you miss that part of my post? lol

 

i knew it physically existed yes. but i didnt want to pay their 940.00 on their site, "dosent make it quite so hard on the wallet" <--you must have missed this part of mine lmao no hard feeling tho man im just joking around. 760 is one hell of a deal for those...

 

Oh hahaha I definitely did not notice the pricing, nice find!

 

thanks man and im def going to keep looking! i know somebody has to have this BBK instock and i know that NOBODY is buying it. therefore it would be in any vendors best interests to get rid of this product! BAM i swoop in and get stuff dirt cheap

 

Yea, was gonna buy a BBK but my car needs to be fast before I even consider it

 

There is a setup where you change the caliper bracket and a bigger rotor with your existing caliper, I forget what it is tho. On here somewhere as far as the ss/sc brakes, your cheapest option will be to get the caliper, bracket and rotor and get them redrilled to 4x100. Needs a min 16" wheel tho to clear. I swapped from the 4 lug to the 5x110 lug and ss fronts. Gonna cost you more then you wanna spend tho.

 

would also limit my wheel selection, i was thinking some 17" kazera kzp's in bronze wrap them in DZ101's

 

my whole move here is to get it looking nicer without having to paint the fn caliper looks so trashy to me, im goin to throw on some stance gr+ and some hellaflush 20mmspacers and call her good
