Z06 Big Brake Kit

Has anyone heard anything about it or has it? I really think this would be an amazing brake upgrade. Check it out... http://www.cobalt-addiction.com/handling.htm

I never had one for my cobalt, thankfully I did not waste any more money then I did already on it. However, the Syclone has upgraded Z06 brakes up front. Your brakes up front are the most important. Still have drums on my rear. Going 0-60 in less then 4 seconds means you need to be able to stop quick to.

They are a huge waste of money. They should only be used on show cars. There are cheaper big brake kits out there that are more than sufficient for a Cobalt.

HUGE waste of money.

Those brakes are crazy heavy.

They are not designed to work with the Cobalt master cylinder(unsafe)

They are actually one of the weakest links on the Z06(IE: one of the first things that those guys ditch)

They are very expensive to service.

You pretty much need custom wheels or huge spacers to make them fit.

I'll be excited when something comes out for the TCs, like slotted rotors or something. I think they'd be great on a TC.

The TC's come with amazing brakes stock, you should never have to upgrade the calipers.

OTTP makes some nice products. Do they only make products for cobalts? They should make some products for better quality vehicles.
