If you don't get crazy with the car, those will be fine then. I get crazy... HP+'s are a must. In all reality, I need to upgrade to larger discs. Either the PRS Floating Rotor set-up or a Brembo set-up... or a Brembo + PRS Floating Rotor set-up.

THATalways confuses ppl eventhough it says i have a 2006 cobalt

iwould upgrade just for looks but..money is the problem.. and considering i had a 600 dollar ticketplus lawyer and Def. driving course ... CANNOT do any type of violation lololol so im gentle on braking and all lol like if it was an LS

Checked again, I'm running HPS rear pads on StopTech blanks and Ferrodo 1000 up front with the stock disk. They break nice and smooth unless wet of course, that takes a moment of harder breaking to shed the water and bite in real quick. I'll likely get the same on both ends when these pads are up.

This, not sure what the braking difference is from the LT to the LSJ is but there's a huge difference going from an LT to an LNF. I don't have to worry about warping discs anymore, a problem I had twice in my LT during the 90k miles I had it.
