Brembo Hoses and Reflash?
 
I have a 2008 HHR SS That I have all the part except the brake hoses to do the swap. Anyone know where to get a good deal on braided steel?
Also I have a automatic that could use a little more power... Whats good?

Peace y'all

Welcome to the site jczboy. I switched to Brembos and just used the same brake lines works just fine. Trifecta will give you around 300 hp.:thumb:

Sweet! Did you use the same banjo bolts too?
Thanks

So... I ended up with some new red (Power coated) Brembo's Cost was $400
Drilled and slotted rotors with pads and hardware $180
If you bend the brake hose slightly at the bracket, the stock hoses work great along with stock banjo bolts... Total cost was only $580

Great, you saved enough to buy a tune, so you will need the extra brakes.....:twothumbs:

Got the tune first.... That's when i desided i NEEDED the brakes... now my neck breaks both ways :)

I was pretty surprised how much more brake power the Brembo's give you. No problem slowing from over 100 now. ...:twothumbs:

The Brembos always look good when they're new, clean and freshly painted.
(before the brake dust attacks them :lol:)

Still adding stainless braided brake hoses would be the ultimate ticket..

SS brake line would be great... Working on lighting next... Got Depo's in the mail along with some HID's... I may take apart the old ones making them into projectors with halos
