Upgrade to Brembos?
Hey All,
I wanted the performance package with Brembos when I got my '09 SS but no luck. Now I am thinking about upgrading the fronts. Any ideas what I'll need besides the calipers? Do I have to buy rotors, lines, bolts, etc. too, or will the calipers just bolt on to the existing parts? Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Billy

What I found
I was looking into this myself and after doing a bit of research I found this "kit".

As far as I know that is what us non-Brembo SS drivers would need to make the switch.

looks like we need a little more that just calipers? But jrtv4's price is good, wonder if he has the lines and such ? Do the size or the rotors change ? Anybody ever drive one ? Do they work a lot better ?

Depends on how you drive it... I have the standard brakes and the tires will give up traction way before the brakes lose stopping power, If you race or do many consectutive high speed stops in a short time, that's where the brembos would excel. They don't heat up and fade as fast as the stanard (smaller) brakes. I would love to have the brembos for the bling factor, but don't really NEED them for my driving style which may have a few high speed stops in a short time, but not enough to justify Brembos. AND, as other have said, it will prohibit using anything less than 17" wheels, which gets expensive if you ever plan on putting snows on.
