ss brake setup on my g5?

I want to upgrade my brakes to ss setup. Like rotors and calipers. I will be getting the ss hubs as well. And I plan to buy the spindles and control arms too. I'm going to be upgrading my suspension and want to do brakes as well. So if.I get calipers and rotors what else would I need to get them working? I got an 09 g5 BTW

Thanks

Need more information that just ss and g5. There are 2 different braking systems in the ss, and different options on the base model cobalt and i'm assuming your g5 is a base so there are some differences between trims and years.

Read the first few posts of this thread, I'm pretty sure Halfcent kept it updated.

And then with that information this thread might help

Im assuming your 4 bolt since your talking about doing the hubs.

Rear brakes require full rear axle to do swap. I believe front is just calipers, hubs, and rotors.

Powell Race Shop has a rear bracket that allows the caliper to be mounted without having to change the complete axel. Also the bracket allows for alignment adjustments, John will have to chime in about what you can adjust. Its on my to be ordered list

Oh sorry guys my g5 is a 4 bolt without abs. And I said ss because I meant the supercharged ss not brembos. And I am aware of the rear axle swap but I mean to get the calipers working without any problem. And if they do sell a bracket how much does it cost?
