Exclamation 4 wheel Brembos

I would like to try put Brembos on the rear of my09 SS.


Could this be done???

And if it could what parts and steps would need to be done to make the upgrades feel like OEM but perform better then OEM rear brakes?

Yep. The Cobalt's braking balance is front biased. Plus it complicates matters since you'd have to accomodate the parking brake system since GM doesn't use drum in hat like other automakers.

It doesn't matter whether the car is FWD, RWD, or AWD. ~70% of the braking is done by the front brakes on any vehicle due to weight transfer.
