Big brake upgrade/rear conversion??

I am new on here and was wondering if anybody knows if a company makes a big brake upgrade for the front and a rear disc conversion for the rear?

I thank you for the info and the links, but those are just oem size rotors, not big brake kits or rear disc conversions, i want my HHR to stop better not look better.

Slotted rotors will help the car stop better due to better material used and the slots. Also, will not warp like the standard rotors do, and will not fade due to heat. A lot of people here are interested in the rear disk conversion. As I remember, there are a few available for mucho denero. Some venders were trying to put out a more reasonably priced package. But, I have not heard anything about it for a while.

Thanks Lee3333, I saw a couple of those brakes but some of those companies don't exsist or dont make them anymore, i have been searching for 5-6 months but can't really find anything out their, i hope someone will make a affordable rear conversion for the HHR like the PTs have.

The drilled & slotted rotors we sold were a full pound lighter then the stockers too. That adds up to better acceleration as well as braking.

I never even thought of that aspect. My son has been bugging me to upgrade, and I keep telling him that there is no reason to as long as the warranty covers the stock rotors. But, quicker acceleration is a nice motive
