Brake question

Anyone using the EBC rotors/brake pads? Looking at picking up this kit here for the front and rear.

If you use the SEARCH you will find thousands of reference to EBC. Most are favorable.

I did use a search. I did find a couple of threads that piqued my interest, but wanted something a little more specific.

To be more specific in answering your question - "Anyone using the EBC rotors/brake pads?" - yes quite a few members here are using them.

I'm not sure what else you were looking for as you didn't specify anything else - for that, as Donbrew says - the SEARCH TOOL, and a lot of reading.

You might also wish to check out their offerings for HHR's directly.

Plus a call or e-mail to their tech people can prevent you from getting the "wrong" brakes for your driving style and usage. You'd never want to make the mistake of trying to run Trackday brakes on the street for example, they can be downright treacherous in the wrong situation.

????? And you were soliciting for definitive comments about the kit? Well, you need to say so if that is the case. We can't mind read my man.
