Any suggestions? 1Panel2NV 02-27-2009, 01:52 PM You'll have to switch to a hhr ss or cobalt ss rear beam. I suppose you could also fab your own brackets. catdaddy137 02-27-2009, 02:12 PM i searched this the other day , i found 3 old posts , but no help. ss comes with rear disc ??? right??? if so how come no one has done this?? the reason i searched is i noticed some on a van , the uplander. i guess no chance of those fitting the hhr?? 1Panel2NV 02-27-2009, 07:03 PM A couple people have done it to cobalts and at least one person, hvrod, has done it to an hhr. jeffs396 02-28-2009, 01:17 AM Give Todd a call at TCE... http://www.tceperformanceproducts.com/cgi-bin/brakes/cginews.pl?record=27 KHR 02-28-2009, 01:47 PM Give Todd at TCE a call -I have Wilwood on front and back - 6 puck front, 4 puck back - 13 inch rotors karl :D Todd TCE 02-28-2009, 07:51 PM I could do Karl's rear kit again. But there's no parking brake either so you may find that something you don't like. I could do a Wilwood p-brake caliper on perhaps a 11.75 up to 13" rear rotor also. And on the rear beam as done above. Cost would run about $1200 plus....something else you probably wouldn't like. Sorry...not a lot of options! GDZHHR 02-28-2009, 09:59 PM I'm giving this some thought, with the extra power I'll be getting from Hahn Racecraft's turbo, I'll be wanting much better brakes. Does this need to be a local job, or is it in kit form? Todd TCE 03-07-2009, 09:29 AM Both front and rear kits were bolt on. And if we did up a p-brake one it too would be bolt on. I don't offer too many kits that require excessive fab work. The only hiccup on a p-brake caliper is often the need for specialized cables and in the case of the drum to disc set up this would be true. I can only give you a contact for this and let you work with them on that part.
