www.crateenginedepot.com

they have a FULL Brembo upgrade kit available, $850 + shipping, it'll have everything you need for the front brakes. rear brakes don't matter much so just make sure you have a nice rotor/pad combo back there.

look under Cobalt in the SEARCH on their site.

i have full intentions of purchasing this kit after the holidays.

it's $500 more than the Brembo kit...... seems like a pretty sweet setup tho.
