LS/LT brakes upgraded to SS 11.65 inch brakes was it worth it?

Hello out there in HHR mod land, I wanted to ask a question to those of you who upgraded to 11.65 inch SS front brakes on your LS/LT.

A.. was it worth it
B.. did it resolve the brake judder?
C.. is there any notable difference in your stopping distance?

Now like Solman98 posted a while ago, this is the kind of swap I mean, the change to non Brembo SS 11.65 inch front brake rotors and pads, the larger SS caliper brackets and standard LS/LT calipers .

Thanks in advance for your replies

When I got mine it had the SS fr rotors on it..

I just check adjustment for rear drums once a year or so, & no complaints here..

Just asked for opinion as to weather or not it was worth it to change to SS 11.65 rotors, I have the parts, I simply wanted to see if after some time had past the members like Soleman thought it was worth the effort, but thanks for the offer!
