Disks Brakes

I have the 2LT HHR with all the goodies including the 17" rims. With the open rim design you can see the ugly drum brakes on the rear axle. Does anybody know if there is a conversion to have disk brakes all the way around?

I'm painting mine also. My drums are going to be silver right along with the calipers.

I figured my HHR is silver so it will look good even though the shades wont match. I didn't want one of the standard colors like red, blue, or yellow because they will stand out way too much for my taste. I want them to have a more subtle look.

Yes - RSM makes one, and although ti is quite pricey ($900), it features nice parts from what I've heard. See it HERE.

I'm betting you could order the parts direct from your dealer for less.
The HHR rides on a Cobalt platform.

And WELCOME!!!

Thanks for the info. Will have to call the dealership parts dept. to see if they can give me some more info and hopefully a better price too.
