I saw that car on The Speed channel. They said that they are a 13 inch kit and that they are made... So I assume so. Keep in mind that is a 2.2L and not an SS.

keep us informed please i might not buy rims if they are going to be making those, b/c i see the ssbc big brake kit as a waist it has the same amount of pistons as our stock ones two in the front one in the back, why even buy them u'd be better off buying powerslots and ebc's.

it is true wilwood made a kit for us cav owners , and it is also a down fall for them right now , they havent sold enough of the kits
but they also only made the front kit and didnt make is a rear , and wont at this time because the front is slow moving
personally i own 2 of the wilwood kits for the cavs , and love um

ssbc sucks im my opinion , and i dont like the way they look either
wilwood , baer , rotora , brembo , pbr , those are have nice looking calipers
and the sloted rotors are the only way they come , atleast the others you have a little choice
ive used drilled rotors for years with no problems , materials now are better from the days they used to crack , better care in most companies also help
in severe use cases they will still crack , but usually at the point you need to replace them any way
flood gravana tuning , turbo tech , all the vendors here , as well as wilwood them selves , i know several people have asked them about the cobalts
