Front and rear suspension

I have a 08 hhr ss that im geting alot of suspension noises like when i go over a speed bump it makes a bottoming out sound are when im on rough roads i get alot of popping sounds coming from my suspension i just recently replaced the front struts but no luck. I also have another sound but its hard to describe but its like a constant rubbing sound when im driving over 45 i took it to have it looked at and they said it was a warped rotor on the rear that was making that constant sound i described so i replaced both rotors on the rear and brake pads but it still has the constant rubbing like sound any ideas would be very helpful

If the noise is from the rear at speed, then check the rear hubs.
The front noise could be any number of things. Sway bar bushings, LCA bushings, end links etc. Just have to get under there and look to see which one it is.

Fwiw. Using a little punctuation in your post would make it easier to read.

Don't overlook a "hung" or dragging rear caliper.

One can spend a lot of unnecessary $'s throwing parts at a problem with noises from the front end, unless they properly do a thorough inspection of all the parts that make up the front end.

He needs to check the whole front end such as: sway bar links and bushings, lower control arms, ball joints etc..
