Only the fronts? Wow. Brembo is insane. ;P

Thanks for stocking more products, though.

right on.

Spending, but the best brand for quality! Lucky to have them even offer this kit.

 

[RS Turbo]

Wow... I am glad I am getting 4 wheel disc. The upgrade to Brembo is like getting Raped! Sorry, there nice but not $2800 nice per axle!

 

[Eric Smit]

I think 4-wheels disc won't be any better, it just looks better.

Rotors are MASSIVE in diameter over stock... Just a FYI.

Plus we dont set pricing, we sell for what the MFG allows, we have very little markup on these.

I meant RS 4 wheel discs vs. regular front disc and rear drum.

And I'm not blaming you for the price, I just think the premium you pay for fantastic brakes is crazy.

Agreed, but if you want all out stopping power, this is propably the way to go. I am pretty sure these will still be bigger than the RS discs that will be coming out, but I guess we will see.

Just another option is all this is

I don't think the RS front breaks are any different, I thought they just added discs out back for looks. Maybe I'm wrong, I haven't really been following the RS all that much.

You are not wrong.

Seems like for the price of the RS you could just add all the upgrades to your lt and save a few grand

leather interior costs more than you think. I can almost guarantee I would be spending more.

Yeah I would hate my car if I had leather, it's way too hot in Vegas for leather seats

The Brembo brakes are 12.9 inches and I am thinking the Sonic front brakes are 10.8 inches. There are some 17" rims that will not fit over the Brembos and I am pretty sure that includes the OEM rims.

The Brembo system will give excellent stopping power limited only by the tires you are using. By excellent I mean sports car like; someone following a Vette will expect that quick of stopping while someone following a Sonic will not. Not saying you will be hit but am saying you will occasionally find your heart in your throat and a prayer on your lips if running Brembos on a Sonic.

Chevy engineers have said the rear disc brakes are there more for show than performance. I guess that goes along with the idea that the RS package is an appearance package and not a performance package.

Katzkin Leather for the Chevrolet Sonic from ShopSAR.com

Leather seats are not rediculous, especially if you can install them yourself. This is something I will consider in the future.

 

[Sonic1.4t]

Katskin makes a good product, the fiat sport I was gonna buy had the seats done front and rear and it looked better than the factory fiat leather

 

[rdss]

I agree, they make great leather products. I will probably go with black and light grey center sections to keep with the black and silver interior theme.

 

[RS Turbo]

You can put lipstick on a pig its still a pig!

Put leather in a Fiat its still a Pile of CRAP!!!

 

[Sonic1.4t]

Or you can put leather, a body kit and a RS label and charge 5000 more
