Guys I need some help. I really wanna upgrade my front brakes and I'm thinking about these but idk anything about them so I had some questions. So if you can't then let me know please

1. Are these brembo brakes?
2. If I were to install these what else would I need for them to work and perform on my car. Or is this all I need?

If you read next to the part number, it just says "FRONT PADS"... meaning it's the part number for brake pads. If the pads are that much calipers are def gonna be more...

if you are serious about upgrading to brembos... simply look in the members classifieds and buy someone's take off brembo 4 piston brakes with lines. They go about 400. All you need to buy.

Even if you did buy a caliper from gm at the pice shown on the link you listed (mind you that price x 2, since you need two calipers)..., you still need the pads, the rotors, and the brake lines. Maybe the dust shields if you are frugal about exactness.

Most listing in the members classified are selling all you need for around 400-450.

No brainer, make it easy on yaself.

Thanks man that does help A lot. I did see someone's listing and they're willing to sell me these brembos. It comes with the calipers, brake line and bolts. What do you think about these? He claims he took them off at 400 miles do you think that's true? I feel like they're too used up to be only used for 400 miles. I was thinking about getting them then buying my own pads and rotors. Do you think it's a good idea? He lives near me also

Looks clean to me. The sticker is still on em and it doesn't have any discoloration. Alot of guys and gals took them off low miles cause the upgraded to the 6 piston ones. Pretty common.

If I weren't buying wilwoodS and we're gonna get the 4 piston ones, I'd get these. Yall are both close by. Went to high school in Alexandria va.

Unsure of which brand ill be going with, as long as the fit the 4pot brembo! I upgraded those from the stock brakes.

I might also end up just doing the 6pot brembo brake kit. Still somewhat undecided

pad pins you should be able to get from any local dealer, but i'd check out cultrag parts, that gm parts guy, or some forum vendors. from his ad though...the pad pins are in there, along with the anti rattle clip.

but if you need to order em for whatever reason, above is the order i'd go for it.

just ordered a rear 3rd brake light from Cultrag, and it took like 2-3 days direct from GM in lansing Michigan, drop shipped.

local dealers MAY have it.

also looking at the ad you put up, I didn't see rotors or pads. the rotors are bigger on the SS, and the pads will be difference than what you have I'm almost 100% sure...

make sure you factor in those too if they aren't offered

Pads I know I have to get them but lethal aka Matt was telling me the rotors can work fine with the ss brakes

the LT brembo brakes rotors are 12.6. the SS brake rotors are 13.6 inches. these are the rotor diameters. theres an inch difference, or 1/2 inch per radius (middle of the rotor to the edge.)

my two sources on that:

http://www.camaro6.com/forums/showpo...16&postcount=1

and brembo themselves

http://www.brembo.com/en/ComunicatiS...01%20final.pdf

measure your rotor. if its somehow already 13.6 inches across the whole thing, then you wont need new rotors.

if its 12.6 inches then you will...else when you pads wear, there will be about 1/3 to 1/2 of an inch of a lip that the pads never touch. don't ask me how I know about that with my old charger upgrading from the SXT V6 brakes to the R/T v8 brakes

we live and we learn...


also, when you buy the upgrade kit for the V6 from GM

BRAKE WITH CONFIDENCE
BREMBO® PERFORMANCE FRONT BRAKE PACKAGE
(FOUR-PISTON CALIPERS)

P/N 23245470 (2016 Camaro LT with 2.0L Turbo or 3.6L V6) /
MSRP: $2000†



The Chevrolet Performance front brake system features Brembo® four-piston aluminum calipers with performance brake pads and 13.6” x 1.2” (345mm x 30mm) vented and slotted Duralife rotors – the same size as the Camaro SS! The Duralife rotors feature a hardened surface to reduce corrosion and provide quieter braking with less vibration. The kit is a direct replacement for the original front brakes and includes low-expansion front brake hoses, all necessary hardware and installation instructions. It is available for Gen-6 Camaro models equipped with the 2.0L Turbo or 3.6L V6 engines.

now I could be wrong, but I know with rotor sizes, if you use SS brake calipers, you prob need SS sized rotors.

I just confirmed with Lethal and he said he has a friend that is running ss brembo stock calipers with the LT rotors. And has no problems. So idk I might just think about going some aftermarket slotted/drilled ones that are 13.6"

Guys is there a how to installing the brake lines and bleeding the brakes?

[Arctic_turbo]

Sup guys , so I think I jumped the gun on this one... I recently purchased the front 6 piston brembos oem with rotors for my 2017 2.0 Camaro and then decided to do the same to rear, now after reading the post noticed that the rears won't work is that true ???

Yep, LS/LT models have different e-brakes than the SS, which makes the brembo brakes incompatible - without extensive modifications you're stuck with the base rear brakes, sorry :(
