The Aveo Xtreme isn't my style but the brakes on the car are four wheel disk. I'd really like to put disk all around on my car but I wasn't sure how to go about it. Then it occurred to me that Chevy has already done this. Chevy wouldn't create new disk breaks for a one off concept, they would dig some out of their parts bin. So, here's my question. Where do you suppose they came from? If they can be ordered through Chevy what would the part number be? What car in the GM lineup would have a similar wheel setup that the brakes would be interchangeable? Just a thought.  |

If we knew what they came from it could be possible to have four wheel disc on our Aveo Ordinaries.

they were one off custom brakes by stainless steel brakes. however i'm sure since they did it once they would do it again. you could email them and find out if they'll make you a package

The stock brakes on Aveos are pretty good IMO. The only reason I see any need to upgrade to rear discs would be for racing to reduce break fade. But who's gonna be racing the Aveo anyways? Other than looks, I think it would be a HUGE waste of money upgrading to rear discs.

It's a huge waste of money to do anything to an Aveo. If you're gonna put wheels on it and can see the brakes then you need decent looking brakes. Besides the huge waste of money thing that's the biggest thing holding me back from getting the wheels I like for my car.
I don't "race" my Aveo but I do drive it pretty hard and that includes hard braking so for me it would be worth it to have stronger brakes. My brakes shake when braking from highway speeds. And not to mention that they’re cheap so they grind and stick when they are cold and wet. Crappy brakes IMO.

Painted is better than nothing but it would still be nice to do something extra.

You can host them temporarily somewhere like imagestation.com until cardomain decides they like your pictures. I'm not sure if cardomain has size limits but that could be the problem.

If you can't resize them I can do it for you. Just put them in a zip folder and send them to me. I'll send you a PM. I don't think my email is public.
