Wilwood makes makes pretty good stuff, problem is is that for under $900 you can get SS/TC front Brembos, dont waste your time/money on Wilwoods when you can use the stock Brembos for LESS money. No custom brackets,no extra bolts, no adapter type brake hoses, no thinner than stock rotors.....100% GM validated, direct bolton badass 4 piston calipers designed to be used with a master cylinder our size, with some of the best brake pads in the world STOCK. (if you go with a TCE kit you need to be sure to tell them that we dont use the same size master cylinder or front calipers as an HHR....otherwise theyll likely sell you an HHR kit, and you probably wont be happy with pedal feel/travel)

so basically a brembo setup would be better. have you listed the part numbers for these somewhere? if so i will find them. thanks

also will the brembos bolt directly up to the stock (ss 5 bolt)knucle/hub?
