Yes, but maybe not your wheels depending on what you mean by "SS rotors and calipers".
Here is the page returned from the phrase "ss rotors" https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/sear...ry=ss%20rotors
And this:https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/brak...-06-2lt-41839/

If you are thinking SS rotors will fix the "warped rotor" thing, try adjusting the rear brakes and maybe replacing them along with inspecting all of the front suspension parts first.

Actually you need the SS non Brembo, rotors and the calliper brackets, the stock brake callipers and pads are the same as your 2LT

I'm running the standard 17 inch aluminum wheel (standard) on the 2LT PACKAGE, so no rotor clearance problems. I'm in the process of the changes now. First thing I did was adjust the rear drum brakes but wasn't in much need, self adjuster were working ok. I'm going on seventy years young, a retired machinist/toolmaker and love doing my own repairs. I love a challenge, it keeps you young if in mind only.

Now, no matter how old you are, it's easy to forget to torque the calliper bracket bolts , 85 ft.lbs. I am not far behind you at 62! But forgot such things awhile ago!
Great your adjusters are working , now inspect those LCA's rear bushings , they shake a ton under braking when they wear one and deteriorate!

Hot front rotors fix.
Replaced front rotors today with vented/slotted ones used on SS Turbo model. You also must use the caliper brackets for the SS model due to the larger diameter rotors. This is not the brembo brake setup. Now I can make a panic stop from 65 mph without concern of brake fade.
