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.

 

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.....

 

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. ...

 

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

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
