I use rotors from a Canadian company in Montreal, any good brand will do, Centric or PowerStop, just make sure you order the brackets and rotors for the 2008 to 2010 SS JL9 non Brembo brakes

Matched rotors and pads

Cardone brackets, you still use your original calipers

This is a nice set up if you’re replacing your front calipers



I’m not a fan of the drilled rotors, but that red powder coating is cool

Sweetie found this photo from our August 2008 All Truck Nationals at Carlyle PA when we were showing the C1500



I didn’t find this in our photos of any colour SS thread or the black HHR photo thread. Anybody recognize this as a members ride?

That 7 mm screw cam get sticky, put a drop of oil or some never seize on it when you put those back in, make it easier next time.

Well, Oldblue rides again, after rising from the ashes of being totaled, with the help of a bunch of donor body parts from my original 2006 HHR:

I will try that next. I came inside to warm up and have a late lunch. All of a sudden I am zapped of energy. It's gonna be a long night.

Happy to see Oldblue back on the road! Even more happy your daughter wasn’t severely injured


But the grille is supposed to be red, not the fenders bumper and hood
