Braking bad
I have a 1LT with Rs pkg and standard brakes. I regret not getting the brake upgrade as I thought the standard brakes would be ok.
They could be a little better, IMO. So I found the GM Brembo 4-piston upgrade but it's not actually available anywhere, even though various sites have it for sale. I don't need a ton of stopping power, obviously, but a better setup would be nice. It'll look a little better, too. My question is if I buy something like this on ebay would it be the same as getting the red 4-piston kit? Do you think it'll fit? It looks pretty much the same, except for the awful autozone-looking rotor and the orange fifty paint. They claim it's GM assembly line leftovers. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Brembo-Cama...p=mtr#viTabs_0 This ebay page it says it'll fit my car, but I'm just not sure. |

Nope, different electric park brake motor attachments. LT rear brakes have 1 park brake motor mounted directly to each caliper, while the Brembo SS brakes have one centrally mounted motor that pulls 2 cables that are attached to the calipers.
Can only upgrade the fronts easily. I don't believe there are any kits or other ways to modify the rear to accept the SS brakes on an LT car without losing the park brake.

Haven't been under any V6/4 banger cars so I didn't know, now I do. Seems two different set-ups would cost more, but that's GM |
