Im not sure, thinking to just stay stock and put new shoes on the rear too, they seem worn ( e brake pulls high ) and braking seems fronts do all the work? Will probly throw new shocks /struts on as well

The SS larger rotors only require the SS caliper brackets, you still use your stock calipers.
Have you adjusted the rear shoes and the E brake cable, lately!

You adjust the shoes with the the adjuster star wheel first, then the cables, just until 3 clicks when you pull up in the Ebrake.

Yeah I know, but with 200+K on the car I dont know if they were ever replaced so going to have them looked at and replaced if they need to be. My front pads are new but the caliper on drivers side is c ocked from top to bottom so not sure if its from the worn pin that was siezed, I cleaned and lubed it but its still apparently sticking on the pin or something is bent ( bracket maybe ) Im not showing any accidents but not sure whats going on with it? so just going to replace with new.

My idea is order front loaded calipers for 2009 SS non Brembo and rotors, that gives you new calipers and brackets and the larger rotors with pads and all hardware
