But one for the Style of the rear parking brake on a non-Brembo setup, non-drum parking brake?
So it comes with everything needed to do a change over? brakes, Knuckle, e-brake & wiring conversion?

These rear calipers should be a free exchange for cars that came from the factory with the upgraded fronts (and mismatched front/rear caliper color). It's absurd that GM put calipers on with mismatched colors in the first place.

per brembo

Looking at the SS version, the Calipers (4-Piston) are 2pc, whereas the Brembo upgrade we supply are Monobloc’s. Regarding the rear “parking brake”, doing a bit of research without talking to the engineer, it does show that a parking brake shoe still engages the inside of the drum/bell of the rear disc. So adding the larger 1pc disc doesn’t change this function from remaining effective.

For the 2016 model, the Front 1pc is shows for LT and SS, but the Rear is only shown for SS model (Which comes with the factory Brembo calipers). It seems the forum post is in relation to the “non-Brembo setup” non-Brembo setup, non-drum parking brake?

The bold part is what RS/LT does not have. That is the main conversion problem to adding brembos to the rear. The knuckles between the RS/LT & SS are cast differently because of the different EPB setups and their caliper mounts between the 2 are different.
Really need to see some kinda of images of the conversion kit to see how they deal with the Parking brake modification if it is suppose to work on the RS/LT. Because the wiring between the RS/LT & SS are different also.

edit: Just in case of some confusion, earlier i was talking about rear brembo's on RS/LT and this response was maybe confusion on what i read of your post and saw you mentioned SS after posting.

Seems confirmed to me that this GMPP part is for SS cars. Not LT cars.

Agree - looks like they are SS versions powder coated to match the 6 piston Brembo red. Here is a photo of mine after I had them powder coated to match.
