Repainting Brembo's and installing on SS. PICTURES!

Hello all! I bought a brembo set off ebay that came off a 2008 Cobalt SS with aftermarket rotors. The brakes were chipping and I have decided to repaint them.

Got them sand blasted to make sure they would stick the best.

Those rear hats look a whole lot like they want shoes inside for E-brake. Or, is that the way they all are?

I'm going to bolt them up as soon as I can. They have the same mounting bracket as the old one so I am hoping.

They are identical to the rotors I have on he cars now. What makes them look different?

I think the caliper is used for the parking brake, not a separate shoe.

I didn't see where the ebrake cable connects to the rear caliper, so I thought the same as Don! a drum style ebrake and disc brakes

Based on the pictures in the OP's other thread, I still don't see that these are going to just "bolt up". Especially don't see the e-brake cable connection being compatible.
The other thread: https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/brak...-hhr-ss-57304/

Anyhow. Good job on the paint work.
