    They help with noise.

    "Vibration" is never an issue and don't know why any Camaro owners or otherwise would claim that. False information. The brake hardware (pins clips etc) keep everything as it should be, in place.

    im going to correct what i said earlier........vibration was not vibration in stearing wheel but more to vibration with the pads touching the rotors which in turn creates brake noise. thats what i was refering to. that is what was told to me when i brought it up to a gm performance machanic of 20 some odd years when i showed him the difference between the tire weights and the circular weights on the camaro brembo brakes. if this is wrong info then im sorry for giving false info and i will tell the mechanic he is wrong.

    thanks guys for all the compliments, but i left the weights on their as i didn't have a hack saw to cut them off. plus i just wanted to put the brakes on lol

    as for the chevrolet emblem, i bought the calipers like that and they are under the clear coat of paint so i couldn't take them off. that is polly the only thing i dont like about the brakes.

    Xplicit, i think the tail lights look fine the way they are lol i dont want them to be tinted cuz they look funny when they are done. well based on what i have seen from other ppl.

    Time to wake this one up again. I have a question. I looked at the Discount tire website and have not found these rims listed, do you have a number or brand name for them, so I can narrow my search down?

    Frank you will have more luck looking at ebay.

    Just enter Pontiac G8 wheels and there will be a shit load of different wheels.
