great, thank you solman and bad03! G.B.

 

I was unaware that the Brembo option was available in 2008. If the single pot calipers and associated rotors in 2008 are the same side as those on other HHR models, why would the '08 (not '09) Owner's Manual state the following?

Perhaps it is in the '08 manual anticipating the release of the Brembo option for '09? Has anyone tried putting the donut on the front of a stock '08 SS?

I say this because if the time ever comes, I don't want to jockey tires unnecessarily.


2008 HHR Owner's Manual:

The SS Model has larger performance brakes than
the Base Model. The compact spare tire will not clear
the front brakes.
Do not use the compact spare tire in the event of a front
flat tire.

You must use the rear tire to replace the front flat tire.

 

The front non Brembo brake on the SS do differ from the regular HHR brakes 15's will not clear them
