Rear Swaps

So i have searched and searched, i cannot find if the ATS has rear brembo's and if it did(maybe the '15 coupe might) if they would even convert to the balt...

Anything to do about the shitty quality of rear brakes chevy decided to throw on here? i'd quite like to rid myself of having to "break free" the rear brakes after having it parked all night when its cold... its weird they seem to be stuck/frozen until you give it enough oomph to move the car..

ats brakes won't fit a cobalt, at least not directly, look more at a sky solstice for some type of retrofit thing

lnfs have different brakes. if they are kept maintained it helps a lot. also if you file a bit where the pad sits in its bracket so they move a little more......

the solstice brakes are pretty much the same

The LNF rear brakes are almost as large as the LSJ front brakes, so no

hub swap and find a Grand Prix setup I guess. there wont be much in the 5x110 category. you could always just buy an SS/SC - SS/NA rear disc setup

lnf rears are better then the lsjs.... maintain your brakes and file the pad slots so they move a little more freely and be done. You dont have a rear brake upgrade available caliper wise.
