2 big things with these brakes too. 1.) Is you've significantly opened up your rear sway bar options now, as the brembo clear everything. 2.) Though a v6 setup may stop just as quickly as the SS brembo initially, I've found the SS can handle more heat/abuse. If you keep slamming the SS keep going whereas the v6 really feel the heat.
I have large wheels on my Camaro and I have been considering these brakes and I appreciate your review and comments of it not being an overkill for a V6! We’re building a house too slated to be completed late September! Congratulations on yours!👊🏾💯
You do not have to change the master cylinder but it would be better if you did as it is bigger and pushes more fluid. You HAVE to use SS rotors. The brembos do not work with V6 rotors.
Thanks for the advice, bro i do want to be a UA-camr and strongly think that i can offer exiting content ,but I'm being that one waiting for the right moment, i need to get a camara 📷 lol I'm cooking a zl1 to v6 brake swap.💪
You just have to start. It may be cringy to you in the future but that's how you grow. That's why I don't delete any of my starting videos. Good luck champ!
Nice video and I agree you can never have too much stopping power! Any thoughts on doing a rear diff gear upgrade in the future? I'm throwing some 3.91 gears in mine soon and from everything I've heard they make a huge difference in waking the car up.
I had a hour long conversation with a tuner about them. I was strongly considering it but not anymore. In 6th gear on the freeway you will be screaming and 1st gear, you will rip through. Sounds fun for a little but long term it seems like it will get annoying to me. I would like to keep some of daily drivability in my car. Now the 3.70 gears seem like they are middle of the road and the best of both worlds. I may look into that soon.
@@mistermanage1119 This is an overview of my experience of doing the 3.91 gear upgrade. I have a 2012 2LT manual with about 60k miles, so I went the route of a complete differential rebuild rather than chance taking it apart and some of the bearings needing to be replaced. I ordered just the ring and pinion gear (not the kit), the differential gasket, and a Richmond differential rebuild kit which included all of the bearings, shims, bolts etc needed. I found it to be cheaper this way rather than buying the gear kit and the bearings, shims, marking compound, etc by themselves. Dealer charged me about $800 for labor to do the full install. After the install I didn't experience any noise from the new gears and the car pulls way way harder. In my opinion this is how it should have came stock because before the lack of torque was definetly noticeable in combination with the cars weight. I can cruise around town in a full gear higher than before and now 6th gear is actually suitable for passing on the highway. With my driving habits (80% city 20% highway) I actually seem to have gained a bit of MPG (21.8 -> 24), however with more highway driving I'd definetly have a slight decrease. With my flowmaster exhaust having the RPM's a bit higher on the highway actually cut down on the drone a good bit in 6th gear (2300rpm at 70mph). First gear is definitely shorter, but nothing unmanageable you just have to be ready to shift quickly if doing a pull from a dig. Just cruising around though you don't even really notice first being that short. However, my previous car was a 2012 Genesis coupe that had a 3.91 rear gear and 4.229 first with much smaller tires, so maybe I'm just use to driving with a short first gear. Overall I'd definitely recommend it along with the overkill tune, since the ~20% torque increase from the 3.27 gears plus the snappy throttle response from the tune completely change the cars character and it is way more fun to drive.

Exactly, I was trying to explain this as well on the other comment in the feed.

Thanks champ!
purchased brembo calipers from ebay because of this video 🙂🙂🙂
I'll be getting a 2011 Camaro soon. I've been watching your vids a lot lately as a reference to what I'd like to do. Beautiful car man.
Great Job man you just convinced me to pull the trigger on some brembro brakes!
Glad to hear it!
What is the name of the company you got the brembo brake conversation kit good review
Keep going strong my guy, I’m going to start streaming games here soon, just got my pc in. Bit nervous to put myself out there but excited to.
You will do fine. It will get easier as you keep posting.
Where did you get the rotors from?
From the company.
@@mistermanage1119 powerstop the one on the link?
@@josemontejano1576 yes
Did you have to change the master cylinder and get bigger rotors?
You do not have to change the master cylinder but it would be better if you did as it is bigger and pushes more fluid. You HAVE to use SS rotors. The brembos do not work with V6 rotors.
@@mistermanage1119 thanks man
New sub here! Looks awesome!!!! Nice!! Great video!

@@mistermanage1119 what camara do you recommend, thanks 🙏
I have the sony a5100. That's a great camera to start and I've had it since I started.

Tires also play a HUGE roll in stopping power
They sure do! I had the nittos with the V6 breaks and they were a upgrade but much much better with the brembos.
