Looking for big brake upgrade? This is a 14.5" front brake upgrade kit that uses a genuine Brembo 4 piston caliper.
This will fit perfectly behind factory LNF wheels that are setup for the factory Brembo brake option.
To run this kit on a factory non Brembo caliper wheel, you would need to replace your stock wheel studs with a set of ARP wheel studs, and install a 1/4" wheel spacer on each side.
We have not tested fitment on any other wheel.
Fits 5 lug Cobalt
Sold as a front kit.

I have the Brembos on mine. I think the rotors are like 12.3". The clearance between the caliper and rim is about 9/16".
That's why I was curious about the fitment of a 14" rotor.
Still a little confused by their wording of a "factory Brembo wheel" and a "non Brembo caliper wheel". Guess that's just a Cobalt definition.

This kit uses the rotors and brembo calipers from the rear of a 2010 camaro ss, ZZ Performance fabricates custom caliper brackets. All 18" double spoke wheels on 08 to 10 hhr ss are brembo compatable.

Oh cool! Since it looks like I'm keeping my wagon I'll have to take it to a show one day and see how I do.
Hey report back in after a few hundred more miles on those Ksports...I'm curious to see if you start having any creaking sound in the rear. I developed this noise pretty fast with mine...you can't hear from the outside but it's very noticeable at slow speeds. It's like a rubber against rubber sound.

I haven't had an issue with that but I had mine positioned as far up the strut as I could get them...only noise I have is from the rear and it's sounds like a creaky old mattress. I looked online and found that at least one other Cobalt owner experienced the same issue. I'm as low as I can go in the rear...all lock rings removed...damper setting at 10 from the firmest...ride is pretty rough in the rear.
