Welcome. I am curious to why you did the Brembo upgrade. No one in Broward county even use their brakes, so why would you need such advance stopping power? LOL:gr_jest:

DaMaine1,

What kinda question is that? What if he spots a nice looking chick on the road, he needs to be able to stop on a dime...:wink2:

no one in florida knows how to drive. and when i decide to get on it and have some fun, i like the fact that i know i can stop from any speed. what good is power if you cant control it safely

Congrats and welcome from the northern half of Florida. Or what I consider "southern Georgia".

Welcome, does the camaro brembo kit bolt right on with no mods?

the front requires 4 new bolts, drilling the knuckel to 9/16, longer studs to be safe and spacers.i used a 15mm spacer, but 10mm would be fine
the rear, just trim the dust shield all the way around, and use the brackets supplied by realsquash(Andy) on the forum. a 1/4 inch spacer is required under stock rims
