LG has the XR2's listed on their site :cheers:

I would assume they could get you the XR1's as well.

I know that LG and Performance AFX (630-844-0089) both sell them and are forum sponsors.

Derek,

Darn right they do. Typically carry CSR and XR2 pads on the shelf at all times. XR1's are not a problem as well just let me know how many you need. If you talk to Tom over there, tell him Anthony said hi.

Derek, I just picked up a set of XR1s from them. For the Stoptech's and I know that Bob at AFX had them in stock also. JD :thumbs::cheers:

Derek,
Yes, Cobalt makes those pads. In fact the front pads for the ST60 are the same pads I run in my AP Racing calipers. I know for sure I have XR2 in stock, not sure about XR1. I will have to check on Monday.

By the way, we have moved to our new shop. The new phone number is 815-254-2631.

Robert,

What calipers are you running on the rear of your car?

robert will the stoptech rotors that comes with their BBK interchange with the AP calipers? i am curious since i thought i was going to end up buying a bbk stoptech kit but the sale fell through but in the process found a good deal on a spare rotor and hat combo so would be nice to be able to use those, since it looks like i will be going AP up front route eventually.

Derek, Stoptech's BBK uses the same 14" rotors front and back. And they will not interchange with stock rotors front or rear. Because Stoptech uses different hat offsets. If you decide to get rid of that spare set of hats, let me know. JD :thumbs:

Derek,
Stoptech uses a larger drop on their aluminum hats so their rotors do not mount in the stock location. This has the benefit of moving the caliper in towards the center of the car more, leaving better wheel clearance. However, it also has the drawback of moving the rotor even closer to the tie rod boot that is already melting. As you know, our rotors mount in the stock location. Our new AP Racing 6 piston caliper with 20mm thick pads mounts the rotor in the stock location. The stock wheels will not fit on this system.

Yes, I do run the stock C6 Z06 rear calipers with the AP Racing 6 piston fronts, Cobalt XR1 pads all the way around, standard C6 Z06 master cylinder, and no brake bias adjustment. Works awesome with no brake fade ever and the pads last forever.

By the way, we have moved to our new location. The new phone number is 815-254-2631.
