He's referring to the round "roller skate" attachments on the 5th gen Brembo brake pads. I believe they were added to the pads to balance them in an effort to reduce vibration and noise.

Pretty sure they were only on the early 2010 pads. I converted my V6 to the SS Brembos and have no skates.

All 5th Gen SS after 2011 came with Roller Skates on the front. Early 2010-2011 Camaro's had wheel weights stuck on the calibers to help with vibrations.

^That. My 2015 SS has them, and when I looked into it, that's apparently the case.

From what I've seen those hideous things are no longer there,but what we've been seeing are all preproduction cars,so who knows.But I believe they have taken care of that issue,in an all new car that would be pretty crappy to still have that.
