Thumbs down Brembo Brakes for the SS Cobalt but not the SS HHR?

I noticed it yesterday when I was at the dealership and saw a Cobalt SS and it had Brembo brakes on the front. WTF? Why not on the HHR SS? Chevy, stop being dumb!

I think that is an option for 2009 coupled with the limited slip. I beleive it's a performance pack that also gives a different boost display.

It is available on the 09' its $895 option that comes with the limited slip diff and the Brembo's up front. the Reconfigurable Performance Display is a separate option at $295

Dealer where I bought mine had two or three with the Brembo package. I think it leaves a lot to be desired with just the fronts. The front calipers and upgraded rotors look good while the rears look like crap especially with the rusty rotors.

The rear calipers are the same as every other HHR SS. Silver. I don't believe the Brembos are black either, if I remember right.

The Brembo's are black.

My guess is they made them a option to help keep the cost down for those who really don't care for the bigger brakes.

The front Brembo's are a direct bolt-on, you can upgrade them yourself for about $900.
