Calipers. Rotors. Brake Lines. LNF Caliper bolts. That's it.

This. You'll need 18s which can clear the caliper.

Rims. The Brembos will NOT work with the stock SS/SC rims.

Do the SS/TC's have the same rear calipers as the SS/SC cobalts?

Kind of off topic but I could have swore I read a thread on here not to long ago about a upgrade for our brake system that actually is lighter than the brembo set up and still just as good....ill try to search for it.
