ok im not sure if i herd this right will the 09's have brembos ? if they do anyone know if i could order them for my 08 ss and bolt right up? My 08 stops pretty good but could be alot better with the brembos!

 

The Brembo's do come on the 09 BUT with the peformance pkge only i believe. As far as bolt ons for your 08 I'm not sure. Why don't you just wait til you need brakes and then upgrade them... That is what I plan on doing.

 

yeah i guess that is what i am going to do... i thought i saw that the brembo option was acouple hundred bucks thats why i wanted it...

 

I was forced to get them if I wanted LSD what a trip

 

Shouldn't be too hard to swap in larger Brembo discs and pads IMO. I doubt they'll change the calipers.

I'm more curious about the reconfigurable performance display which supposedly goes where the auxiliary glove box is.

 

didnt hear about that?

 

For '09, the Brembo brake option does include different calipers. The same calipers that come on the '08 Cobalt SS/TC. Here's a picture of an '09 HHR SS with the Brembo brake option:



Concerning the configurable performance display, it doesn't go in the auxiliary glove box, it replaces the A-pillar mounted boost gauge. Here's an excerpt from the GM 'What's New' for '09 concerning the HHR.

 

thats some good stuff thanks for posting!

 

this is from the 2009 order guides "Reconfigurable performance display located on center of IP, replaces analog boost gauge and center IP bin."
I ordered this on my 2009 Panel SS the piller gage is replaced ( looks like last minute add on to me)

 

Either way, I'm sure it won't be hard to get the reconfigurable performance display and brembos on an '08.
