Completed front brembo swap on my 07 LSJ



Test fit with ion redline wheels



Spacers used sabb eibach hub centric






Studs used 2000 camaro overlength





Simple bolt on but makes a big difference

 

Nice. Price?

 

Doing the same swap I have all the parts except for the spacer (coming in 2 1/2 weeks) nice pics! Notice a big change?

 

wait you have them inside your stock 18's?

 

bout 500.00 with new rotors and pads and used low mileage calipers

yup big difference, i was used to slowing into stop now its more of light tap and your flying into the windshield

 

do you have a parts list?

 

good work. I did the same thing same result.

 

Rotors- P# 15893541 (left and right)

Eibach 15mm 90.2.15.007.1

Studs Napa- BK 6411581

you get these parts new from gm?

 

Pads and rotors from gm, calipers used, studs and spacers aftermarket

 

hmmm ok thanks now who wants to sell me there calipers lol

 

niiice. ill have to keep an eye out for calipers if the other parts are really that cheap!!

 

I am a Parts manager for a gm dealership it cost me less, expect to pay close to a grand for all new gm parts

 

ohh boo erns lol

 

ok so we do need that saab space ur using correct? just making sure because a grand to do this over 2000+ for rims and parts is a deal! besides cool factor is just badass!!!!

 

yup there is prob about 5mm space between caliper and stk sc wheels

 

**** fine with me i work at gm so im about to order this manana

 

 

if you gonna spend like a grand you could get those after piston brakes. i give you the link.
i would love brembo's tho. nice job on the swap

or ssbc brake kits

 

Thanx. True. Brembo's are a good oportunity if you come across a salvaged tc

 

Sticking with ss/sc rears or will upgrade those as well? Just curious if your brake system balance is off now with the added front bite.

 

Prob. will upgrade when i could come across the tc set up, or may just upgrade the rears with aftermarket pads and rotos, for now it's fine for me, btw HHR SS uses the same Brembo components

 

Help me with that discount

 

Thanks for the plug. And I'd agree that for someone who has access to the factory parts at a reasonable cost. For those who don't want to spend time with both parts searching and fumbling around with more parts change than necessary the BBKs already fit for the car can make things both simpler and quicker. The need for a wheel spacer is interesting...was this because the oe wheel for the factory Brembo is not the same wheel on the ss now?

It's tough to compete at the $1000 price point for true big brake kit items. Taking into account the cost of two piece hat/rotors alone easily pushes the cost well beyond this level.

While I'll be accused of being biased, I'd have to say that unless the savings are perhaps $500 the added funds spent on the aftermarket may make more sense. Obviously not everyone will feel the same.

 

True had i not come into opportunity with brembos, this would be considered, tc wheels are diffirent than sc hence the need to run a spacer or a wheel that would clear the caliper
