Does anyone know which bracket I need for the conversion? I have 2011 with 16 inch wheels and want the SS rotors, not the Brembo. It lists 2 different brackets. 4 wheel disc, and disc/drum setup. I have read alot about it, but still not sure which bracket to order.

I fixed the dup while you were trying to. Also moved from the Front Page News.

If you post on the Front Page, only moderators can see it.

You need to get the front brackets only, for a 08 HHR SS non Brembo.

You can see the part numbers I used here: https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/brak...ard-hhr-42938/

I followed Solman98's thread, the SS setup fits in 16" rims

if you need a complete set of calipers, i have them! came off an SS that upgraded to Brembo's
front and back calipers, maybe 20k on them at the most
$100 for the complete set + shipping
dont have the rotors, just calipers

Thanks alot!! The J56 option is the Brembos. I ordered the other one. It had the rotors listed at 296mm (diameter). I pick them up in the morning and hope to have them done by early afternoon! Let you know how they turn out.

I think I still have the ones I took off my SS when I put on Brembos. Free for the asking, located in Los Angeles. Calipers, rotors and likely the pads are still usable.
