New rear direct fit Brembo rotor from the 2015 SS

[JonRobbinSS]

It looks like the new 2015 SS will be coming with rear Brembos.

Good news for us - they appear to be a direct fit replacement, no adapter bracket, no custom parking brake shoe, no pad trimming. A true bolt on rotor that will take a Camaro, CTS-V, or the new SS rear caliper..

I wish this had come out three months sooner, before I made the full swap to the Camaro bits.

Here is the new part - 92267114
List $207 / Dealer cost $118

[BuildItYourSelf]

Yeah Buddy.
Now all you dealers can stock aftermarket rotors from down under.
And my $600 rear set is still in the box for about a week anyway.

Nice find!!!!

[GRRR8GT]

That's great news. Usually works out that way once a few people spend way too much on a set of rotors....It will be interesting to see if they are from Aus. I just got my T3's day before yesterday. Took three times as long to clear customs and get delivered to my door as it took to get from Australia. Looking at them yesterday their "too nice" for back rotors on a street car.

[travis gore]

Very nice find

[Greg@PacePerformance]

He had a little help ;)
I have all the bits on order and will update as soon as they arrive.
GM hasn't released them for sale just yet.

I let both Toedrag and the bracket guy know ahead of time so they didn't make a big stocking order then get stuck with them.

If it's plug and play, count me in!

I did have help. An old friend from my Impala SS days who now drives a PPV gave me the heads up (NavyLifer). He emailed me a link to SS forums thread where I saw the discussion and what he and Greg were discussing and I saw the potential for many of us (good and bad).

I came to our boards and saw nothing about it.. Placing the post here was mostly to give a heads up to everyone - buyers and sellers alike (I have no pony in this race) - that there was good chance a new part was about to show up on the scene.

It just shows what a stand up guy Greg is to have personally spoken to the guys that have been feeding our habits with the adapter parts ( I have brackets and adapter shoes currently on my car for a month or two now and was happy to be able to get them)..

[kevinm0131]

I may upgrade now that it's a simple swap, it seemed like the other swaps were a bit tedious and problematic.

Exactly why I never even contemplated it until now. One thing I like to KNOW is working, are brakes. I don't need to have unforeseen issues with them.

[Rylos]

So is this a smaller diameter rotor? The bracket was to compensate for the larger diameter rotor was it not?
Also guessing this will fit the e-brake because the inner hub is the correct diameter now as well?

[JonRobbinSS]

This rotor is 5mm smaller in diameter, 1/10 inch smaller radius.. The adapter bracket's biggest dimensional change was to space the caliper further outboard almost 1/2 inch. The SS rotor will be slightly smaller in diameter and have the rotor faces properly located to not need the adapter's 1/2 inch step out.

[BuildItYourSelf]

Not to mention more clearance for wheels.
The bracket made the Caliper stick out further then the front.

I got the hsv rotor for that reason and the rotor will last the life of my car. And who cares you have to shave the pad a bit.

[kevinm0131]

so what's the word on these? Anyone?

[BFI91]

This makes things cheaper lol...nice find!

[Greg@PacePerformance]

so what's the word on these? Anyone?

Just waiting for GM to release them. I'm guessing it might be a little longer since they are not even building the 2015 SS yet.

[KDRobb]

So will this rotor work with the current rear Brembo & bracket setup? I would like to go this route instead of the custom brake shoes

[GT Drew]

With these new rotors, you remove the rear bracket. It will no longer be needed

[PMD G8]

Subscribed. I was already thinking about adding rear brembos to my GXP this winter.

[Baldo05]

Any updates on this?

[JonRobbinSS]

Just need to wait for GM to start stocking parts for the 2015 SS...

[Greg@PacePerformance]

Only update I currently have is the SS rear Brembo caliper is the same as the Camaro SS rear Brembo caliper.
The rest of the parts are still not shipping to dealers.

Are you referring to the caliper or rotor?

Caliper :)
Sorry I'll edit.

I have a set of brackets and ebrake shoes I've not installed because I'm waiting to see how this rotor solution pans out.

[G8V8]

Does anybody know if the rear hub is the same for the '15 as the '14?
If the caliper is the same as the Camaro SS then one of the following conditions must be met for everything to bolt up and fit:

1) The '15 Chevy SS rear rotor must be smaller in diameter than the Camaro SS rotor, or
2) The '15 hub is different than the '14 to move the caliper outward from the hub.

Here is my confusion:
Camaro SS rear rotors are 365 mm. G8 GT rear rotors are 324 mm. The DBA HSV rear rotors that I had on my G8 fit and allowed the 4-pot rear Brembo calipers to bolt directly to the G8 hub (no bracket req'd, stock e-brake fits) BUT the caliper was a little too far from the hub which meant that the brake pads over hung the rotor by 2-3 mm. We dealt with this by trimming 2-3 mm off of the outermost edge of the pad. Had the rotor been 4-6 mm larger (probably 355 mm) or the caliper mounted 2-3 mm closer to the hub, this would have been a perfect fit.

So, it would seem, IF the '015 hub is the same, dimensionally, as the G8 and '14 Chevy SS rear hub, a 355 mm rear rotor based upon the design of the HSV rear 350 mm rotor should work just fine and need no bracket or custom e-brake shoe.

BUT THEN I SEE THIS ADS:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VE-VF-HSV-REAR-BREMBO-BRAKE-UPGRADE-4-Piston-caliper-/171542693343

They say this is a bolt-on upgrade for the VE and VF. It uses 4-pot Brembos and 350 mm rear rotors. How can this not have the same overhanging pad problem we do when fitting a 350 mm HSV rotor to a G8?

From our experience, there is something missing with this conversion. The dimensions do not add up or they are not telling you the pads are special or modified or need to be modified to fit and not overhang a 350 mm rotor. OR, the Ve & VF in Australia use a slightly different hub (very unlikely, IMHO).

Attached are drawings of the VE (G8), Camaro SS and HSV VE rear rotors. You can see the in and out location of the disk relative to the "drum" varies with the application. The HSV disk location, from experience using it, centers up on the caliper very closely when the Brembo is bolted directly to the hub. The Camaro SS disk location requires a bracket/space. The bracket/spacer not only positions the caliper out far enough to work with the 365 mm Camaro SS rotor, it also shifts the caliper sideways to align with the center line of the rotor.

Wow, did not mean for this to ramble on and on.

My conclusions:
1) '15 Chevy SS will use a 355 mm version of the HSV 350 mm rotor and everything will be peachie! (Great for G8 conversion.)

or

2) '15 Chevy SS will use the HSV 350 mm rear rotor and will have rear hubs with different caliper mounting locations to move the caliper 2-3 mm closer to hub. (Not so great for G8 conversion.)

or

3) '15 Chevy SS will use the 350 mm HSV rotors with some pads that have a narrower contact patch so they don't overhang the rotor edge. (OK for G8 conversion.)

or

4) contrary to what has been stated, the calipers are slightly different with their mounting holes moved to position the caliper the correct distance from the hub to align with the 350 mm rotor edge. (Should work for G8s but calipers will be unique, not Camaro SS or CTS-V.)

Anyway, these are just some ramblings of an old man. Take them for what they are worth. LOL

The add seems to be what we're all waiting on. Vf rotors witch is a ve upgrade.
No secret the hardware Is already in parking spots down under.

One misconception with the brackets to fit Camaro rotor is that they move for diameter when all they do is relocate for hat depth.

That is what the ad seems to indicate. However, anybody who has installed the 350 mm HSV rear rotors knows that the 4-pot Brembo rear calipers, when bolted directly to the G8 hub, are about 3 mm too far from the hub center for a 350 mm rotor and that the pads extend beyond the outside edge of the 350 mm rotor.

Ed,
Yes the 2015 hub, bearing, parking brake shoe, and knuckle are the same as the G8. The backing plate is different from the G8, but that would mean the 2014 SS guys just won't need to trim them.
The Ebay add may include custom brake pads. I was selling caliper kits to a guy that was having a company make smaller pads to fit the DBA rotors so they were direct bolt on.

[Greg@PacePerformance]

Oh and some info from GM ;)
Rotor diameter x thickness (in / mm):
rear: 14.2 . x 1.1 / 360 x 28

Yeah I have the hsv rears.
But dba made a larger version of the original hsv rear. They were made for some performance shop who distributed them.
But as common as the hsv with brembos Instal is here I would imagine that some "bloke" down under makes the same pads as Greg is talking about. There probably as common as the "squash" brackets are here.

I should have a 4 rotors here by the end of the week I think.
I thought I ordered them last week, but I messed something with the order up and had to reorder to that put it about 4 days behind :(

All parts are now available from GM, I/someone just needs to double check fitment

Yup, I have Camaro calipers but it really doesn't matter. I bought Camaro rotors, the bracket adapters and the E-Brake shoes to fit mine but would much prefer to use rotors etc without needing custom parts. I'd order a set right now to test if it wasn't so cold here right now....and if my winter wheels would fit over them!

[RWD-V8]

$283.20 plus shipping for a pair.

Greg, do you have a kit cost including the calipers, and pads?

[Greg@PacePerformance]

There are a few uncertainties right now as far as price goes.

Price for kit with SS rear calipers, pin kits, rotors, pads, and hoses - $1289.52
That is basically what is different on the 2015 SS compared to the 2014.

Now for a G8/SS swap i'm not sure if the older 2004-2007 CTS-v calipers will clear, and I'm not sure why there is a different rear brake hose since my Brembos seem to fit the stock hose just fine.
So the price could be as low as $699 depending on what is needed/wanted/required

Anyone with the 2009+ rear v calipers, Camaro rear calipers, or SS calipers will not have a problem from what I can figure so far.

[reddeadg8]

are the part#'s still 92281426 and 92281427 ?

[astynx]

Are the GXP front Brembos, rotors, the same as SS front brakes?

[Crazy Paul]

Are the GXP front Brembos, rotors, the same as SS front brakes?
Nope.
One small difference is that G8 GXP & Holden VE front Brembo calipers [92221882,92221883] are threaded M12x1.75......and Holden VF and Chevy SS front Brembo calipers [92291007,92291009] are threaded M14x2.

G8 GXP front rotor Part No 92213817 now supercedes to the Chevy SS front rotor Part No 92245928, so the front rotors are the same.

[astynx]

Thanks, C.P. I guess for a 4-wheel brembo upgrade: I could use G8 GXP at front and Chevy SS for the rear on my G8 GT. Thanks again.

[G8V8]

The GXP front Brembo calipers were more expensive than Camaro SS if buying new and a lot harder to find as used take-off than Camaro SS units so many more people used the Camaro SS front Brembo calipers. To use them we would drill out the holes in the G8 front hubs to 14 mm to allow the 14 mm bolts used by Camaro SS calipers to pass through. It was pretty easy with a 9/16, new, sharp drill bit. I have done several. We also needed to do this if trying to use CTS-V 6-pot or ZL-1 6-pot Brembo calipers.

[Baldo05]

Anybody confirm if the 04-07 CTS-V Rear Calipers work with the new rotor? Hoping the do...

[Greg@PacePerformance]

It may or may not. Won't know for sure until the rotors are test fit with the older non-notched calipers.
The rotors have just started to ship to dealers so it might be some time before someone gets a chance to test it them with the older calipers.

[G8V8]

A buddy just installed 2015 Chevy SS rear rotors and Camaro SS calipers on his G8. Fit is perfect. No brackets or custom e-brake shoes are required.

[Rylos]

did he have to trim the dust shields or use the new SS parts?

[PMD G8]

Do you know what other parts are required besides the rotors, pads and calipers?

[G8V8]

I suspect bolts and trim shields. I GUESS SS shield might fit.

[BuildItYourSelf]

G8 shields will definitely not fit. I just took mine off.
The rotor diameter is bigger then the shield and the opening is smaller then the rotor.
Not a chance they work.
O I did hsv rotors so the only difference is the rotor diameter so pads don't need trimmed.

[Greg@PacePerformance]

I suspect bolts and trim shields. I GUESS SS shield might fit.

Yes SS shields should work just fine, but it is a pain to replace them, plus the cost of the shield and rear bearings that are required to be replaced. I would say a $400.00 job to put SS shields on so I recommend just trimming the lip off of the G8 shield.

Thanks for the confirmation on my parts theory Ed :)

why the bearings ?

[Greg@PacePerformance]

why the bearings ?

Because you need to pull the rear hubs to replace the dust shields. In the GM service manual it says when you remove the rear hubs the rear hub bearings will be damaged in the process and to replace them with new. New are over $150 ea.

Now I have heard from Charlie (RIP buddy) that he was able to remove the rear hubs and reuse the bearing, but I'm just going by the factory service manual.

[BuildItYourSelf]

^ this is why I didn't put one back on.
Just cut it off and done. Didn't want to pull the hub out.

[s/c'd cav]

[Greg@PacePerformance]

A buddy just installed 2015 Chevy SS rear rotors and Camaro SS calipers on his G8. Fit is perfect. No brackets or custom e-brake shoes are required.
I also verified that the older 04-07 CTS-v rear calipers will work with the 2015 Chevrolet SS rear rotor. The clearance on the new calipers is needed for the backing plate on the Camaro and I'm guessing the newer CTS-v, and maybe even the 2015 SS rear backing plate.

The G8, PPV, and 2014 SS rear backing plate is the same so there shouldn't be an issue with using the older calipers.

I bet the caliper is on the correct side, but the bleeder and balance tube haven't been swapped - and this was to test the fit and not to install. Thinking the parts were coming back off after the test fit and picture..

Good point Jon. I forgot you have to swap the CTS like that.

[reddeadg8]

ok think im having a brain fart. Greg's post is saying the V1 CTSV rear calipers w/2015 SS rotors requires no clearancing/modding right? just bolt up and go right (besides swapping the bleeder tube).

Exactly.
Guys here in Oz are not overly impressed by the extra 2.5mm radius vs better quality of the 355mm DBA T3 4000, which also fits perfectly. Both rotors are made here, both are same price here, just DBA T3 vs PBR (OEM) is a no-brainer.
We have organised for DBA to forge ~360mm from the next batch.

[Chewy]

Pace's site kind of blows IMO. Just go right through Greg! gregwas@paceperformance.com

[Greg@PacePerformance]

Thanks Chris lol
I have no comment on that one :)

We don't have a complete kit listed on the site, since customer sometimes want it set up different.

[reddeadg8]

are the Camaro ZL1 calipers the same as the Gen2 CTSV fronts, and regular 5th Gen Camaro rears?

I will agree, don't like the site setup but didn't want to offend anyone:sad:

I will shoot you a message Greg!

[Chewy]

The pop up assistants are a JOKE! I used them once over a year ago and STILL haven't heard back! I can only imagine the amount of money lost due to them. They also know NOTHING!

I will add that I pretty much only use Greg for my parts so I feel OK saying these things. I use Paul for all my AU sourced items.

The chat service is an outside service the dealership makes us keep. They forward all the chats to an employee here. My guess is if someone didn't get a response it got deleted because it was too old from the last guy getting backed up answering them. We have a new employee now just learning the GM stuff, he is a Mopar guy :nutkick:

Anyone making slotted and drilled ones yet? Just want them to match the fronts.

[reddeadg8]

Gil from 6LE on this site or the other was looking to do a group buy of some. But I also think its only a matter of time before granatelli motorsports or others start making them. dont know about any of their quality though.

[talion]

Can anybody please confirm the correct part number for the rear rotors for the 2015 SS? I just ordered (2) rotors using a pn I found on a thread on the other site posted by someone who just completed the swap. I tried to verify the pn from several online parts houses before I ordered, but no one has parts listed for the 2015 SS, so I went with the number he posted.

I got them today and went to put them on tonight, but they are identical to my existing G8 GT rear rotors!!

Long story short, I think I just cost myself $63.90 (cost of shipping + restocking fee)........

I have seen a couple pn’s posted in this thread for the 2015 SS rotors. Can someone please reconfirm the correct number so I don’t repeat my mistake.

Thanks in advance.

[s/c'd cav]

if the ones you are the same as the stock ones , you got 14 SS rotors , not 15

i paid like 130ish each , the part # did change

[talion]

I am almost positive I got rotors from a 2014 SS. I paid $113 (each) + shipping for them.

I need to order a new pair. Any help with a correct pn would be appreciated.

[s/c'd cav]

92281427 is what is on my boxes

when you search the part # in the first post you get this from pace - Discontinued
Availability: Replaced by 92281427

my guess if you ordered that number they didnt think a 15 is what you wanted and got the 14 instead , or thought they were the same

[Greg@PacePerformance]

92281427 is the correct part number, if that is the part number on your box GM incorrectly boxed the '14 rotors in place of the '15 rotors. This does happen sometimes, but my guess is you have a different part number on your box since you paid less than dealer cost for the rotors if they were the '15 rotors.

DBA has these slotted. You could ask for them to be crossdrilled.

Yesssss.

[reddeadg8]

anybody up for a group buy!!!!!!!

[GRRR8GT]

I have those DBA rotors on the rear of my car. Perfect fit for the brembo's. No pad trim required. No luck getting any discount for the small number of people that were interested but the U.S. dollar has gained some big ground on the Aus. $ so the $247 Aus is like $192 US each plus shipping. Nice rotors but not cheap. Never asked for drilling but they do not show any available that way. Maybe you could ask brakesdirect.

[Firehawk]

does anybody have pics of the final installation yet?

There was some interest in these early on and Maryland speed tried to get them but dba would not let it happen because at the time they were made for a company. Not sure the company name. It was to fit the new holden with brembos just before holden had the option. As far as I understand it anyway that's how it went.

[toocoolviper7]

So I orders the SS rear rotors and they do fit great. So then I tried to install my new brembo caliper and the bolts that it came with were too long. Does anyone have any useful tips? I was thinking of cutting the bolts about 1/4 in and using a 1/4 washer. Oh yeah the caliper set came from a 2012 Camaro SS.

[terryscott621]

You'll need 4 of part# 11515778. These are the caliper mounting bolts that come on the front brakes for the GXP.

[toocoolviper7]

Ok sounds good. Thank you for the help.

http://paceperformance.com/files/grrrr8.net/SS/15ssrearrotor.jpg

Are the rear Chevrolet SS calipers and V calipers silver color the same as the front G8 GXP calipers silver color?

I ask because then one could purchase a white "Brembo" logo and then wet sand either the red "Brembo" logo off or the black "V" logo off and maintain some level of OEMness when making the swap.

Not to mention the fact that the V calipers are cheaper.

[Greg@PacePerformance]

Yes I'm pretty sure they are all the same silver, but I have not had an SS caliper next to the V caliper

[JonRobbinSS]

I know the V Gen I, Gen II and the G8 GXP are all the same silver or near enough that I couldn't tell.
I haven't seen the SS calipers.

[Darkmanx]

So all 2015 camaro rear rotors work?

[Greg@PacePerformance]

Yes 2015 & 2016 Chevrolet SS rear rotors. The car didn't come with any brake options, so yes all rotors.

[Darkmanx]

Yes 2015 & 2016 Chevrolet SS rear rotors. The car didn't come with any brake options, so yes all rotors.

Do the front 2015-16 fronts also work?

[Greg@PacePerformance]

The front rotors from the 15-16 are the same as the 2009 GXP, 2010-2015 Camaro SS, so yes they work

[hartigan85]

Anyone that doesn't want to use the OE SS rotors check out brake performance . com. There part number for the 2015 SS rear rotor is 62147, they are sold as a pair. They sell them blank, slotted, drilled/slotted, or dimpled/slotted. I just installed the dimpled/slotted version today, they fit great and the parking break is fully functional.

Overall I think they are a great product. The only issue I had was a clicking noise while the front pads were seating. They claim the noise will go away once the pads are fully seated.

PPV, What lines did you use to install the brembos on your Caprice?

[djerickd]

Are the VE HSV rotors people were using prior the same size as SS rear brembos or a hair smaller??? Am I hearing there is no need to trim the pads anymore with 2015+ SS rotors??

[JonRobbinSS]

The HSV rotors had a slightly smaller diameter measurement made to work with a different caliper found on the HSV... The SS rotors are correct and made for the Brembo rear calipers.

[tchr49]

Can someone light the candle for an old man?
I was fine until I tried to order from a brake place.

I have 2014 Camaro rear calipers and plan to use them with 2015 Chevrolet SS rear rotors.
Are the rear calipers for the 14 Camaro and the 15 SS the same? (Gal tells me pads are different)

I'm using front 04-07 CTS-V calipers (172-2287 and 2288).
I see that 2015 SS front rotors and GXP rotors are the same.
Are the older 4 piston Caddy calipers and 2015 SS calipers the same? (Got the same story, pads are different)

I think the problem is in their parts numbers?
Thanks

[s/c'd cav]

the SS had dampers on the pads , where the camaro rears do not , just their fronts

other wise pads are identical , and swapable

[TooManyHobbies]

Get the pads without the roller skates. They are a pain to clean around and look stupid.

[tchr49]

So last question because I'm buying both ends at once
2015 SS and 04-07 ctsv/Gxp front calipers are the same?
Thanks folks

So back to this, do the 2015 SS and 4-7/Gxp the same calipers and take the same front pad?

[Greg@PacePerformance]

Thanks everyone. I think I got all straight in my old head.
Now to remember it all.......:)

[jstclair]

OK, so I found a set of rotors on Fleabay, correct dims for the Camaro/CTSV 4-pot caliper and G8 parking brake. My understanding is the Camaro SS rear Brembo is a bolt on IF the rotor has the correct dimensions.

No adapter needed, correct? I already have the complete CTS-V setup for the front so plan to do the entire thing at same time... thanks!

[s/c'd cav]

if they are 15-17 SS SEDAN rotors , then the calipers need nothing else to fit beside the correct length bolts

[jstclair]

if they are 15-17 SS SEDAN rotors , then the calipers need nothing else to fit beside the correct length bolts

What about the 10-15 Camaro SS rears? Supposed to be the same pattern as the older CTS-V, different color and lettering.

[s/c'd cav]

ITS NOT THE CALIPERS that matter its the ROTORS

[jstclair]

ITS NOT THE CALIPERS that matter its the ROTORS

I have the correct rotors from another source; just trying to verify which calipers will bolt on to the G8 rear spindle.
These are aftermarket 14 in od, slotted and drilled, with the correct center for the stock G8 parking brake and bolt pattern.....

*** edit ****

ok, I verified with the vendor that has the rotors, that the 2010-2015 Camaro SS rear Brembos bolt on. Answers that!!!

[s/c'd cav]

any of the 4 piston REAR calipers

any of the 4 piston REAR calipers

So finished the upgrade finally. No more shudder on hard braking.
Front: CTSV kit from ZZPerformance, all new parts
Rear, rotors and caliper bolts from ZZPerformance, calipers from 2012 Camaro SS
Braided brake lines from Goodridge
Painted red since they didn't match in color or logo; factory caliper bolts for SS a too long, hence the shorter replacements
Pics are front with wheel
Rear
factory size and new 14 rear rotors

[Mussin]

Looks great! I want to do this swap as well... About how much do you have wrapped up it it?

[tchr49]

First of all, make sure the setup will clear your current wheels. If not, you're in for some additional costs.
If you're good there and buying all new stuff, conservative budget might be $1000-1200.

[jstclair]

Looks great! I want to do this swap as well... About how much do you have wrapped up it it?

Front kit $580
Rear rotors $230
Rear calipers (used) $150

Paint for calipers $15
Brake fluid DOT 4 I don't recall, already had a bottle

Prices include shipping

[jstclair]

I should have done this a while back. Replaced original rotors with drilled/slotted.. lasted less than a year before the front shudder returned. never really felt like the car had "enough" brake to start with.
Boy, what a difference. Stops like it should, smooth and no drama.
