Any of you GM parts guys been able to find part numbers for the Brembo calipers and larger rotors in the database yet?

I'm sure I'll choke when I see the price though lol.

The cars release is still months away. I'd be very surprised if any dealers had any part #'s for the SS/TC. Maybe try Brembo corp. they are the ones actually making the stuff

EEEEroc

I work for a dealership and the owner said we wont be seeing the TC/SS till end of 2008 beginning of 2009. It will be a 2009 model year. We have all the 2008 books and what not for the cobalt and nothing in there is for a TC/SS.

Ive got them, they are already locked into my dealers autoreplenishment system and as soon as they are available, ILL HAVE THEM. Ill post the part numbers for the calipers and rotor tomorow. There isnt any pricing info yet but at least this way you can bug your dealer without them giving you weird looks and telling you **** like "we wont be seeing the TC/SS till end of 2008 beginning of 2009. It will be a 2009 model year. We have all the 2008 books and what not for the cobalt and nothing in there is for a TC/SS." You just call the parts department and ask for PN# 12345678 and you dont have to deal with anyone who's behind the curve.

What about the knuckles? The front calipers are supposed to be solid mount if I remember correctly, I would think they use a different knuckle.

Those ARE the part numbers, dont pay any attention to the picture, its wrong.

Montecarloman, the knuckles are the same, the Brembos mount directly to th knuckle as opposed to having a bracket that bolts to the knuckle like the other systems do(and in the picture above)

You guys are gods... I knew the parts were in the database somewhere!

Thanks!

Any hints of the rotors? It might be a better idea to just wait on aftermarket slotted/crossdrilled/zinc'ed/whateveryouwant rotors though, they'll probably be cheaper.

Looks like I'm holding off on buying the Baer kits...

I checked gmpartsdirect.com and they're not listed yet, sounds to be the same as what Maven is finding.

blacksssc05

turns out we already have brembo brakes

Maven

The rotors are part#: 15893541


There is no pricing information yet, expect that closer to when the car is released.

Asphalt Assault

car is supposed to be GM 2nd quarter and a 2008 model. I guess it is possible to be pushed off, but that is not what they released for info at sema.

Ryze

so are the rear brakes bigger and brembo's also??

EEEEroc

Yep they are Brembo as well, 2 piston not 4 like the front.

Ryze

okay then do we get part numbers for them also i'm excited because i need brakes soon

Maven

The rear brakes ARE NOT Brembos.

They are larger 292mm x 20mm rotors than the Sport which has 270MM X 14MM rear rotors. Also its not a 2 pisotn caliper that matches the front, its a typical GM PGC style 40mm single piston job.

Heres the specs :



Type: power 4-wheel disc with standard anti-lock; 38mm
Brembo four-piston fixed calipers in front and
40mm single-piston rear calipers
Rotor diameter x thickness (in /
mm):
front: 12.4 x 1.02 / 315 x 26 (vented)
Disc diameter x width (in / mm): rear: 11.5 x 0.79 / 292 x 20 (vented)

Well that deserves a award... Leave it to GM to almost get it right...

Maven

Almost?? the rear brakes on the SS are only 4mm smaller the front brakes on the HHR SS and the Balt Sport!!!!!

montecarloman

So the rear rotors on the SS/TC are 22mm larger in diameter and 6mm thicker than the current SS/SC rear rotors ? Are the dimentions and venting the only difference between the current set up and the TC? By the way Maven where did you pull these specs from?

Maven

Yup SS/sc JL9 rear brakes are 270x14.

[I cant remember for certain
