I have a 2006 HHR with drum brakes in the rear , Question is is there any way to put disc brakes in the rear ?

Yes
Get a rear axle from a HHR SS and swap axles. Also certain Cobalts had discs in the rear.

Letterman 7 did the conversion. And many others . I suggest you swap the front rotors and calliper brackets to SS non Brembo, the increased rotor diameter really helps!

they bolt right in , the eBrake short cable and equalizer bar under the console never had to deal with it in any of my installs , as most of the braking is up front , the only thing is if u have abs u will have to run the drum brake hubs as the disc brake ones have a different voltage and keep the abs light on

Did my swap in just under 5 hours.

Rear beam came from a Colbalt SS

Guess the OP is not coming back to the thread they started.
I will leave post #2 info up in case someone else can use the help.

Otherwise. I’m out.

It would still be useful, then, mention that while not that difficult, it’s also not as easy as it might sound to some. Also, to repeat the discussion in other threads, get the brake cables.

Also, this subject has been exhaustively discussed here in other threads.

Also, here’s a random Utube on the topic. It gets off to a slow start but has some useful video once the author puts the camera on a tripod. (Not an endorsement, just an example.) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bm7Hg4sSqmY
