I never saw that post. For that I do apologize. I did not realize in Germany, you couldn't even change your wheels. That's pretty sad.
One thing I never tried but I should have is whether or not the 1G W body brakes would fit the N body. The 1st W bodies had dual brake pistons in their caliper standard until the switch to 2G in 1997.

That means it could happen that I have to pay them hundreds of bucks for a break that is illegal in their opinion. Even if they say it is legal, I can expect a bill of about 3000$ for this registration. In addition, I will have to do the same with the rims even if that should be much easier than the brakes.
It is a shame that the german Aleros only have the 15" rims. These Aleros are goverened at about 126mph, not 108.

You are correct, the upgrades to OEM brakes are not very great at all. Slotted rotors and ceramic pads is basically you can do with stock calipers, but the problem is that the N body's caliper is single piston instead of a dual piston. The best way to have a high performance brake system is upgrading to dual piston.
I have the Camaro in question (4th gen) and the braking power is awesome. A quick brake to the floor will almost always activate the ABS because the power is insane.
