Definately looks Ceramic, Calipers don't look like anything I've seen from PBR before. What are your thoughts? Has GM finally decided to use something other than PBR?

It also looks like they dumped Goodyear. They definately look like Michelins.

PBR had been advocating two piece rotors for a long time.

I heard some rumors that chevy was working with Brembo also. Dont know if it is true or not.

They are pretty nice looking, whoever makes them. Wow, the more that I see of those wheels the more impressed I am. Those look like they are really light and they are beautifully shaped.

They are not PBR's. The GM guy would not say if they were brembo or Alcons.

I doubt they will go with coil-overs. It would make all there previous choices look bad on suspenion.

Adjustable shocks will probably be provided by magnetic suspension.
