Lets just say this: I just read the owners manual, and if you get a flat on the front tire, you have to put the spare on a back tire position, then put a back tire to the front, cause the spare won't fit the front on the SS due to the larger brakes, and thats with the STOCK SS front brakes.

Hey all, new to the forum. Going to be getting my HHR SS soon, so from what you are saying the Brembo's will not be available till the 1st of april. Do I really need them for anything besides cosmetics, also if i do get them what are the chances of getting snow tires over them?

Damn, I was going to autocross it. Have an 87 MR2 SC that we normally use but I thought it may be fun to try it a few times. Gonna check tommorow, its usually 6 weeks if you order from the factory.
I work at a dealership so I'll doublecheck the orders for them, as of last week though they only list the LSD as an option and no mention of the brembo's. Seems odd they haven't started adding the option though, its close to the cutoff date to order them from the factory.
All in all for occasional auto Xing I may have to hold out for the brembos,

Well, was at work today and had my manager (I work at a chev store) run the order form from GM. No mention on the official site of anything to do w/the brembo's. Seems like the option was scrubbed or will not come out till the Cobalts pick up production.
Build out for 08 HHR SS is at the end of the month so if you want one from the factory you better order soon.

60% to 80% of all braking happens on the front brakes, The rears brakes do some but very little.

Ah well, order is out, car on its way. Didn't have to order from the factory they had one in transit locally. So I will be taking delivery of an HHR SS in a week or so. Loaded too, if I couldnt have the brembos I was definetly going to get the LSD.
Black btw.
