What is the Front rotor size for a non Brembo Rotor?

Simple question. What Size are the FRONT ROTORS on a 2008 HHR SS without the Brembo package?

I am trying to give my money to TurboTech because they are a supporting vendor. I want to get a quote from them for pricing and availability on the following types of FRONT ONLY rotors and pads for a stock 2008 HHR SS (NON BREMBO) so I can decide which ones I want to buy.

I understand I can mix and match rotors and pads, ie, redstuff pads with blackdash rotors or greenstuff pads with 3GD rotors and vice versa.

1. EBC 3GD SPORT BRAKE ROTORS, DIMPLED AND SLOTTED, VENTED, BLACK ZINC
2. EBC ULTIMAX BLACKDASH BRAKE ROTORS, SLOTTED, VENTED, BLACK ZINC
3.. EBC REDSTUFF LOW DUST SUPERSTREET BRAKE PADS, 2-CALIPER SET
4.. EBC GREENSTUFF 2000 SERIES SPORT BRAKE PADS, 2-CALIPER SET

The problem is TurboTech racing does not know what size the rotors are on the SS without the Brembos. So can someone help a brother out and give me the diameter of the front rotors of a 2008 HHR SS without the Brembo Package (am I being clear?)

I believe the non-Brembo rotor is the same as the standard HHR...... Now, don't ask me what size that is, but somebody has to know.

Okay, from what I read before the SS is not the same as the base for the front. I think I read this in the manual because the spare will not fit the front over the brakes on the SS.

Sorry but I don't know the messurement.

Is this from your 2010 service manual or a 2008 service manual. According to Aaron at TurboTech there are 3 different sizes/part #s for the front rotor available. Per Aaron:

GD7375
Rotor; EBC 3GD Series Sport Slotted Rotors; Set of Two; Front; 10.9 in. Dia.;
GD7265
Rotor; EBC 3GD Series Sport Slotted Rotors; Set of Two; Front; 11.7 in. Dia.;
GD7507
Rotor; EBC 3GD Series Sport Slotted Rotors; Set of Two; Front; 12.4 in. Dia.;

The goal here is to simply replace the rotor and pad with the same size as was the OEM part. Short of pulling the wheel and measuring myself I am reaching out to the community.

So don't qoute us on this but we would think the above information would cross reference as follows:

1) Standard HHR; LS, 1LT and 2LT

2) Standard SS HHR; non Brembo

3) Standard SS HHR; w / Brembo

Based on what I've confirmed about my '10 SS non-Brembo, this information is correct.
