front brake options
Sunday, June 10, 2012 10:43 AM
anybody ever try to run cobalt ss tc front calipers on a j?

if anyone could get me dimensions on the caliper mounting holes on the brembo calipers, that would be awesome.

the rotors on the ss are about 12.5". i was thinking about maybe using the brembo caliper with an srt-4 rotor...any thoughts? im sure an adapter would need to be used(would be to easy to just grind off out knuckles a bit and bolt it all on), but i think this would be a nice front brake option if ppl wanted a better brake setup, but nothing as big as the baers.

my thoughts are it would go well with the saturn caliper/srt-4rotor rear setup

I would look over everything. I do not see why something would be messed up from just separating the case. Unless you bent something. I would look closely at everything again or get a fresh set of eyes to look at it. You probably are missing something. Or something just went bad.

Sorry I do not know why that posted in this section.

If you want a good brake upgrade. I posted about 2010 camaro ss / ctsv/ corvette z06 4 piston calipers with 15in rotors. The camaro ones say chevrolet brembo.

Sounds like you're getting into trans stuff in that first post, lol

First, that swap is going to change the wheel bolt pattern, right?

Second, I didn't want to go that big for the brakes.
