Question regarding Brembo brakes. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I am really interested in the Baer cross drilled rotors and was wondering if they will work/fit to the stock Brembo callipers?

I've been looking at all the Brembo rotors and they have a funny gold look to them that im not in favor of.

I guess i ask the tough questions...

The gold color you are referring to is a coating so they wont rust where the pads dont contact the rotor. It wont be noticeable. I believe they are anodized. You are asking about aftermarket parts for a car no one has even got their hands on yet so dont expect a good answer for whether or not they will work. Im sure baer will make ones that will work, contact them directly for accurate info.

Anodizing is for aluminum only, since rotors are made from steel they would be Zinc or Cadnium Plated.

Plating is a bonus on rotors, don't complain about the color as your only other choice is ugly RUST colored in a few months.

Thanks for the correction. The coatings a nice feature.

Oh i didnt know. I guess i was just wondering if anyone is already running a similar setup on another car.

I never understood why brake rotors were always rusty looking. Are rotors available in Aluminum?

Dont think so.

i heard something about the russians trying aluminum brakes but when you used them they baked and blew up. Look ma no hands, i mean no brakes.

I do not think there is enough info out there yet to make this determination.

Have you seen the stopping distance comparisons between the SS and the 6 cyl Camaro with 20 inch wheels? I think there is only a 1 foot difference.

Nothing the Russians do surprises me. In WWII, they experimented jumping out of planes into snowbanks (without parachutes). Ultimately, they gave up on the idea.

For the first stop. But the Brembo's will resist fading much better than the V6 brakes after repeated use.

single-piston front calipers and single-piston alloy rear calipers (LS, LT);
four-piston fixed Brembo aluminum front and rear calipers (SS)
