Just a fun fact, the stock V6 Camaro has about the same exact stopping distance as the Camaro SS with the Brembo's according to Motor Trend tests. Has to due with the extra weight.

Good luck no matter what you decide.

The Brembo's are better for every stop thereafter. (less fade)

I will be doing the swap soon, but haven't done it yet. I have the V8 brembos (brake lines, rotors & calipers) in my garage.

We'll be looking for a new thread when you do

Has anyone said if the spindles are the same or not?

aby..do you know if the brake lines are direct swaps, or do they require special banjo line connects like the cobalts did?

gmpartsdirect or anywhere else you can order parts from..just need the numbers to do so. id imaging each caliper would run 100-150, then rotors on all 4 corners, pin kits for each caliper, special brake lines, and of course, the pads.

I see, I thought people had managed to find some used somewhere. Thanks.
