was going to just do pads and rotors but decided screw it ill just pick up zzps kit

got one side off, bolted the bracket on as per instructions, went to go put the rotor on and the rotor hits the balljoint and bracket, also cant get the caliper between the bracket and rotor

so im not sure if i got sent the wrong rotor or whats going on, or if im just missing something and am retarded

 

No bueno. Neither are those Chinese drilled rotors. I just picked up a set of Made in good old Germany stock lnf rotors. Stock brakes are more than enough on our cars. Even if you have many horses and drive like Andretti like me
Sucks though. Hope you get it taken care of!

 

i know stockers are more than enough, just thought id go the extra mile, was thinking of doing a few track days next year instead of just auto cross.

 

I do track days on a regular basis. Those drilled rotors would crack under heavy track use in no time. Heck I recently cracked a solid R1Concepts rotor lol.
My advice to you would be to return everything to ZZP for a full refund. If they will give you that. And get stock rotors and some good race pads.

 

Reread the instructions, looks like issue is the caliper bracket bolted to wrong side of the knuckle

 

That's what I was thinking, doesn't it bolt in the other way?

 

Looking at the pictures again, i think these guys might be right. Seems to me the ZZP logo should be visible from the outside not the inside...

 

nope,

either way the rotor would hit the balljoint, flipping the brack just makes it smash into the rotor even more.

this is a picture from the instructions




my setup

 

Interesting...

 

ya its kind of frustrating but im not to worried about it, i understand **** happens so im not getting to bent out of shape, i emailed zzp and im sure ill hear back from them asap.

 

never thought to check if they were actually 14.5

going to assume wrong rotors

 

Well that could do it...

Seems like that has to be the issue.

 

rotors didnt come from zzp? thought they came with that kit

 

They did

 

oh wow, surprised they gave you some made in china rotors like that, any word back from them regarding the size issue?

edit: actually realized you just found out on saturday lol

 

considering the pice of the kit im not surprised, nore does it bother me, i just painted the canter hat so they dont rust, as long as they dont crack anyways

 

Finally!

 

So much braking power, so little traction with those knobby tires

 

winters lots of unintentional burnouts to say the least.

 

lol Can you tell which were the fronts??

 

i can tell which ones you will be putting on the front this year, lol.

 

He wont be putting them on this year

 

Yeah I sold this set to ECaulk a few months back. My Cobalt is now officially a garage/road track queen
