    uh, youre gonna compare C5 and cobalt SS brakes to LT1 brakes??

      No, I am kinda confused where you got that idea from.
      To comment on it though I was not impressed with the brakes on my 1993 Z28 and It had cermanic pads.

        You said i wasnt trying hard enough. I have LT1 brakes. The single piston caliper is not going to be as capable of triggering ABS on a dry pavement as dual piston C5 and SS calipers. In addition, camaro is also a heavier vehicle.

          ABS allows you to steer the vehicle while slowing down.


          What happens when you do a panic stop and try to turn?
          Some cars have an ABS fuse that can be pulled, I would repeat the the stop/turn to compare.

          If there is no difference and you are able to stop while turning then you have good tires and/or an poor brake system like you mentioned.
          I wasn't thinking right straight.

            I'm confused how you think I am debating you on that, lol. I believe we are in agreement

              yeah Id get timken bearings, But no they dont have lifetime warranty, (atleast not at autozone) .
              As fas as abs on a 93-96 camaro it is very primitve. My 95 is not even going to have abs, and it should should be just fine.
