Why don't they put some USA-made brakes ?? Baers/Stoptech (are that USAbrands ? )
Brembo = German? Try again.



FWIW I think this is a technically and aethstetically superior solution. The pads are what makes the noise so it makes sense to put the dampeners on the source. I used to put little aluminum (I think, maybe tin) shims on brake pads to quiet them down.

Do I think it could have been done better, yeah probably. Everyone has a budget and GM is struggling. I'm sure there just isn't a ton of $$s around for stuff like this. Like one other poster said, it isn't going to stop him from buying one.
