Any advice would be great! This warping makes me nuts and a bad brake can be really dangerous when you are going 100mph and more on the Autobahn! |
What we do stateside on the Alero concerning upgrading brakes is upgrade to Camaro brakes. This usually involves the front brake calipers of a 1993-2002 Chevrolet Camaro, as well as the pads. Then a 2000-2005 Impala rotor can be used, although you can get the Camaro rotor as well. They have the same part number according to some people, despite the different bolt patterns.
This of course would require an upgrade to 17s. The Alero doesn't have a great brake set up. The Camaro swap is a night and day difference. It would bring your car more in line to autobahn specs.
For the rear, usually nothing is done, but if you want you can always do 2004-2008 Grand Prix GXP rear calipers and rotors.
These parts would have to be sent over to Germany as Pontiac (the brand that sold the Grand Prix) was not sold in Europe. Same for the Chevy Impala. Not sure if you can source Camaro parts in Germany. I know they were sold in Europe, but not sure if parts are easy to find.
