silverspark78 5 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 On a 17 spark lt cvt are there any brands of brake pads or rotors that will stop the car better than factory/oem? Is the reason the factory brake parts don't stop well because they are so small? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Bobby MSME 100 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) Your hypothesis is correct. Size matters when it comes to brake pads. Expensive sporty cars like the Corvette has massive sized pads in relation to curb weight of car. However why change original brake pads before they wear out? I would keep using them until showing signs of obvious wear. Just give yourself enough distance to stop the car. Edited May 5, 2018 by Bobby MSME Link to post Share on other sites
Splash Spark 11 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 I also feel like the brakes are weak. I think its a combination of the cvt and the brakes. If you put in neutral and brake, it feels like regular. When cvt is engaged, it feels like its being dragged. Once i wear them out i will put something better. If they exist.

thismarks 65 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) I have the 2017 Spark LT. I just installed my new rotors and brakes. I bought these off Ebay. I also have 12mm spacers I run with my stock rims as well to bring them out to the edge of my fenders. The new brakes work nice. Edited May 11, 2019 by thismarks Link to post Share on other sites
