thanks for the comments....sucks i already have issues, among brake squeling...the rotors themselves have a lot of grooves in them, like you can see rings...they look like rotors that are over a year old...damn cheap ass autozone rotors....good thing i have the Gm OEM rotors from when i got the brembos....found a machine shop who can machine them for me. going to have the hub bore bore'd to 70mm so i can just use the GM OEM blanks....maybe down the road when they wear out ill get the R1 premium slotted rotors...

GM blanks>>>R1 slotted

GM blanks>>>R1 slotted

i know that, but i need to way to keep the rotor surface clean from brake dust or debris that might get caught between the pad and rotor...thus preventing this from happening to my new rotors....

You could always go to a softer pad like a hawk if the car is just used on the street.

I ran the stock pads and rotors for 21000 miles before getting the floaters and they have barely any grooving. And what is there is nothing more than normal.

yeah i want hawk pads, but like my lifetime warranty on my current brake pads part of why i got them...one less thing to pay for down the road

21k would be fine by me, i have less than 1k on them....now just got to find time to go and drop the rotors off, machine shop is only opened whle im at work....they open after i go in, and close before i get off

Any confirmation if they fit over the Brembos on an SS/TC?

What part are you asking about the clearance on?

[jt87]

My mistake! I replied in the wrong thread. I was checking to see if these wheels fit over the Brembos on an SS/TC. I don't have a 9-3 on hand to check if there's anything dimensionally different between his 9-3 and a Cobalt that would make them not clear.

[Jn2]

Yes they fit...I tested them on a lnf balt before I got them to make sure they cleared the brembos....used interviewatruins sstc to test fit

I just keep coming back and falling in love with this car over and over again. You have a very nice ride!

[Jn2]

So when does this thing get a drop?

[Jn2]

eventually...suspension handles fine the way it is, so its not a top priority for me right now, a drop would be more for the look than anything...but i want to do the springs when i do the koni yellows...so it prob wont be for another year or so...need to finish working on brakes(looking for 2 piston rear upgrade) and than get a tune...downpipe...than maybe a drop
