The ZZP Big Brake Kit… they say 12" but its more like 11.81". That's important if you plan on upgrading from this point, but thats information for a future post.
Front rotors are originally from a 2010 HHR SS Non-Brembo, but ZZP chose a slightly different rotor design from Rock Auto that has some different dimensions and increased thickness. Then they custom drill the rotors for the Sonic’s 5 x 105 bolt pattern.
Here is the product page for the 'Left' (driver side) rotor:

…And then they are custom drilled. Apparently this rotor is direct OE fit for the 2005 Ford Thunderbird, Jaguar S-Type, and Lincoln LS. Interesting how they got there from the HHR.
Here's the product page for the driver side caliper (GM 18023839):

ZZP Kit: $399.99
DIY: $60 (x2) + $68 (x2) + $33 = $289… plus tax and custom drilling. So, not a bad deal actually to just snag the ZZP. However, this kit used to be $499 a year or two ago. This current pricing makes it worth it unless you know a guy that can accurately drill the rotors.

I'm piecing together a Wilwood kit based around the 300mm rotor diameter (I think they already have one based on the stock diameter). I'll definitely do a post on that due to the significant weight savings.
