Price will be far less than anything of this caliber on the market for any platform.

looks like an F-Body Dual Aluminum Piston caliper too me?

Bump. Any updates on the subject of a big brake kit for the SS/TC?
Either from ZZP or Powell?
Can we adapt the 2014 carbon ceramic Camaro Z28 brakes for the Cobalt lol?

But seriously, I need more braking power for the track.

I dont think the TC needs bigger brakes. A thicker vented floating rotor I use lasts for ever.
but for the track less brake = faster.
not the answer you are looking for, I am certain.

good luck.
ps the brake hardware can be changed, but the front rear balance is important . and ceramic /carbon rotors are retarder expensive. And to what end?

I remember speaking to John Powell several months ago, he said that he can make a 6 piston Brembo kit, I just forgot the cost of it.

Well I just bought the Brembo upgrade too, guess I'll be saving for the Powell rear upgrade too.

ZZP had an HHR at CED with their BBK on 19's. I run Brembo's, its simple, works and it is NOT as big as possible.

dont care much. email ZZP for info.

Honestly, if your stock rotors and pads lasted you 75K miles, getting anything but stock replacement is major overkill. I'm on my 3rd set of pads in the rear and about to buy my 5th set for the front, on two sets of rotors all around. After 35K miles. And unless I'm at the track, I'm still running stock brakes.

^^^ this. Rears outlast front 2:1; 75k on brake pads is excellent.

I know this is typically the story. But my rears are almost gone. Fronts probably 20%?
With me shifting the focus on my camaro( 1/4 mile...) the cobalt also gets it focus shifted (more backroading and handling oriented). Also I do backroad the car fairly often and the stockers are just plain horrible for this (yes I know pads and a fluid flush would fix most of that).

Production has started, will be on the site in less than a month.
Working on something for the rears but it will be some time.

I am in the same boat, I am nearing 70k on the factory rotors and pads with zero squeaks, squeals and still exceptional stopping ability....

Any chance of a rotor that is just plain? I will crack these cross-drilled suckers in one track day ;-)

That's a great price, especially if someone has seized pins and needs new calipers anyways. Does it include pads its the only thing that is not mentioned in the kit.

Also suggest a slotted rotor only option as some people don't like running drilled due to cracking issues eventually.
