NOT N SS

can anybody tell me is it possible to convert the stock rear brakes(drum) with much needed disk brakes. maybe from a wrecked SS or something.this is the only thing i am worried about not having an SS.would it be too much money i love my lt and dont want to get rid of it for this reason so please help me!!!!!!

I am wondering the same exact thing. The brakes are a little "light" on the LT, even the 3LT that I test drove (and may buy) seemed to stop a little slow unless you really slammed the brakes.


Also, how can a car with only Front Brakes have 4-wheel ABS? My sales guy told me it does, but I dont believe it.

technically i think you could have abs on drums...just need the abs controller to regulate the brake line pressure and make it pulsate instead of just pure pressure

drum brakes are pretty much as good as the front disc brakes... why would you get rid of it for that reason? that's really, really stupid.

and since when does a cobalt not have rear brakes?

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesnt the base model coblats come with a 4 lug patternt and the SS have a 5 lug?

doesnt gravanatuning.com have a rear disc conversion? i thought they did.

edit: it shows they do, but it is 1000 bucks.

Yes... we have the 4X100 pattern the SS' have 5X110

I would just get the stuff off a wrecked cobalt ss You should change the front at the same time because of the bolt pattern difference and they are bigger you would need the hubs rotors calipers and mounts and the park brake cable stuff.I think the brake master cylinder is different also.

the only difference is it looks better
but it is abig difference lol, 4 wheel discs look soooo much tighter than having 2 ugly drums in the back

HatedCobalt

its nice u 4 lug guys can do the conversion. i have on 07 lt2 nd its 5 lug. or i would have got the ssbc kit by now.

YellowLT

You can still do the conversion.


Ok your options are as Follow.

Convert wheel hubs to those of a SS. (would require new Rims in 5x110 bolt pattern0

Buy the conversion kit form Stainless Steel Brake Company.

That is all, talk amongst yourselves.





BTW use search next time.
