See the big problem with going for the -V brake kits is the weight.
Those massive rotors and calipers on all 4 corners is a LOT of unsprung weight. So much so that it is noticeable handling wise. The overall best compromise is a 13.6" front/13.4" rear setup (just like the SS) with good pads... The factory rotors are just fine and quality pieces. It keeps weight down, has awesome braking ability and overall is perfect for a modified 2.0l setup. You could max out the power on a 2.0l and still not need more in the way of braking ability. I have friends that have 2SS Camaros that are modified with superchargers and such putting them above the ZL1 level and they handily beat a ZL1 on the roadcourse every which way. They are lighter, have more power, handle better (due to the reduced weight) and stop just as well given the fact that they have a balanced brake setup for the weight of their car. In a lot of cases, lighter is better. That is the BIG advantage of the 2.0l setup, it is soooo damn light. No need to put on a massively oversized brake package. You CAN, and if that floats your boat, go for it. And, for a lot of people, they want a one-and-done setup and that is most certainly just that. But, consider it viable only if you are thinking of possibly doing a V8 transplant at some point in the future. If you are staying 2.0l, then utilize a brake setup that is more suited for the weight and leanness of the vehicle. |
