Thinking of My 1st Real Modding (Oh, My! Me?)
 


Hi fellas.

Since getting my LT/RS 9 days ago with the black 20 inch, summer run flats, I have been pondering my first ever real mod... Brembos. The 20 inch black wheels look great & better each day, but the calipers and roters look tiny behind the room behind the 5 spokes. I plan on upgrading down the road a piece, to use up some of the brakes before switching.

2 questions from a green modder:

What does the 4 wheel Bremo conversion entail?

Is it a costly endeaver?

Thanks in advance!

First post Ive ever seen with a change of font.

Truthfully I don't really know but I can't imagine it could be anything more than swapping the callipres and rotors. I can't forsee GM running an entire assembly of different brake lines throughout the car for 1LE models. I'm assuming they probably even bolt up the same.

Costly? I saw once where the calipres were on sale, by alot...when they're not on sale though - they aren't cheap.

I personally wouldn't do it mainly for warranty related reasons.

Don't forget the brake master cylinder $$$.

do you intend on tracking the car?
If not, this mod is unlikely to be very useful to you

18LTLoveIt 07-21-2018 09:20 AM
No tracking planned, purely for cosmetic look, mainly to fill the great void behind 20 inch 5 spokes.

It’s likely to be useful if he/she wants to stop. I did the front brake upgrade and it’s a night and day difference. Those little crappy parts-bin brakes suck.

To the OP: You can buy used SS front brakes (4 piston) for 300 - 400 $
Also there are discussions around here as to why the rears from the SS don’t fit.

If you buy new, expect to pay around 800 million dollars.

Pardon my ignorance. I stand corrected. I just assumed you wouldn't be able to tell a difference on the street.
Are they really parts bin brakes? Like, pulled off another non-performance vehicle?

you are going mudding in the Camaro?

wildchevy 07-22-2018 09:25 AM
Why not the parts on your car now are considered used parts. Your going to pay 3 times more what good take off parts will run you and your going to paint the calipers anyways right?

18LTLoveIt 07-23-2018 05:55 PM
We'll see. Yes my parts are now used, but 182 miles on car. If I could get some real info on what guys have paid on conversions, new or used parts. 80% on Camaro5 & 6 are modding their cars, I figure someone would have some info.

Well after some research I'll be staying with the reg calipers. No way would I spend 2 to 3 thousand bucks for Brembos.

So far just got an RS badge for steering wheel and that was freaking expensive! 32.00 for something soo tiny.
