the BIG question here is...... If you were to go with the Brembo upgrade from CED and save $500..... what would you spend that $500 on?

in all honesty, i'd go with the Brembos and use that $500 you save for some Pedders springs & Powell Race Shop spherical control arm bushings (SCABs) or Powell Race Shop 1" rear Street sway bar. then not only will your brakes be "done" but your suspension will be too. :twothumbs

yea i got the springs & rear bar already too so maybe the $500 savings will go into something else. we'll see, i think if i were road course racing my HHR i would definitely spend the money on the Wilwoods.

no more HHR for you?

Yeah theres just too much **** that goes on with it man. I bought it with 0 miles in June of 08 and have about 30 invoices from dealers since then. Biggest one being for my throwout bearing going bad at 1k miles.
