Go AutoZone or OReilly's or Advance and look for calipers for a 09-10 HHR SS..make sure it says 4 piston caliper...it will not say Brembo nor will it show the front of the caliper with the Brembo logo. It will have a view of 2 piston cups on one side of the part. The view between the regular and Brembo calipers will show the obvious differences....

I picked up a pair of these off of my local AutoZone. I run a shop and had them get a set for me to check out. I got these, and they sell them on the counter at $75 or so after the core... These are ready to go with the cross over line, and fresh seals from brembo.. a few scratches, much cheaper, and a warranty. By the time I pull the wagner pads, and rotors from the stock room and add these, I'll have less in these than what I can grab the calipers online for... pics coming soon, as business allows me to snag an open bay...
I tried Auto zone and Pepboys...they dont have them yet.

It looks like it doesnt matter, most stores (ie Advanced, autozone, etc.) don't care or check the cores on mostly everything that is considered a core, batteries, brakes, etc. I bought mine from a salvage yard in the midwest and it cost me like 90 bucks shipped to NJ. But looking at this deal it seems worth trying if the stores have them, can't beat a refurb from the factory and a warrenty. just my opinion.

they will bolt right up, remember that you need new pads and rotors to go with them....I just got some slotted/drilled ones in today, waiting on the spacers and braided lines now.... not to mention the entire car from the paint shop
