Just put 20 inch wheels on and now I would like to get rid of the drum brakes in the back (2006 1LT) . Anyone know of a nice conversion kit that is reasonably priced ? Thx

 

Not an easy (read $$$) solution here...either get necessary parts from a Cobalt or HHR SS, or get a kit from Todd at :http://www.tceperformanceproducts.co...s.pl?record=27

 

Mmmm. 20s.

You "could" do 16" front kits with perhaps a 14" rear kit. Could be fun...as long as you're buying! lol

 

Just buy some fake caliper/disc covers that go over the drums..................( and then get picked on)

 

Last Saturday I was talking with a friend who works at a salvage yard. Realizing that finding a SS rear axle might be pretty hard, I still ask him to keep his eyes open for a HHR SS or Cobalt SS rear axle. He proceeds to tell me that they had just got one in the day before (Cobalt SS). I ask him to find out what they wanted for it. Fast forward to Tuesday - stopped by his house to see if he had found out any thing. He tells me that the rollback driver used a chain on the rear axle and bent the hell out of it. With a grin on his face he said that " the 20 inch pimp wheels and tires " were still in great condition. To each his own, but I'm not a big fan of really big wheels.

Anyway if I was to get all the disc brake hardware off of this rear, can it be bolted on in place of my drums?

Difficulty: 1 -10?

Can't do it with your stock axle without adding a bracket to hold the caliper...if you can fab & weld though, shouldn't be a problem!

 

Get a SS Chevy Cobalt Rear end and install it..

 

He didn't say he put on really big wheels, he stated he put on 20's.

 

so you're saying he put on HUGE wheels then?

 

Then I'll fold.
Call MovIt...they have some 18" rotors!
