can you buy the performance pack?

If your SS didnt come with the performance package (LSD & brembo brakes) can you buy them from GM and add them? If so anyone know the part numbers to ask for.

thanks,
Curt

Wow for that price i would think you would at least get slotted and drilled rotors.

I bought mine without the LSD or brembos and then my trans took a poop so i got one with LSD. When looking for a trans youre looking for one with the G85 option. I also just purchased the Brembo setup from Tom at CED and it was a little over 800 shipped.

For the average driver, i agree. But for an aggressive driver that loves fast corners i will have to disagree (respectfully) Your average stopping power isnt much better but they dissipate heat and control brake fade much better. I've used both in many applications and yes in general not needed but when you are talking a grand for a brake kit, it would be nice

We will never be in a situation that a drilled or slotted rotor will be needed! Our HHR will never see competitive time off the city streets! Drilled and Slotted rotors are basically a performance based set up! For street apps we have been told the drilled set ups have a good chance of fracturing at the holes! They also say you want the solid rotor for the street app as you have more metal mass which discipates more heat? The slots from what we've read are for gas relief which is something that is only needed in a race or off road application! Here's a good linc for you from a supporting vendor if you want to go in another direction than the factory Brembo option:
