Do they work on a reg HHR? I noticed most look for the Cobalt SS springs. I've got a set coming of my SS and wondering if they work for the HHR

Yes

Yes, most of us (myself included) went with Cobalt springs just because we could get them cheaper.....

Yep, and I bet they will work better than the cobalt ss springs. If you are taking them off your ss to sell, Im sure you will get some buyers on here.

Thanks, I figured they should but couldn't figure out why everone was getting Cobalt SS springs instead. I had a set of Pedders springs installed yesterday and thinking of selling my stock SS springs with 4,300 miles on them but wanted to make sure

how do you like the Pedders' springs so far?

my 2004 GTO has every part underneath it that Pedders make and it made a world of difference

What pn# did you use? Their site doesn't list anything for HHR/Cobalt. Did you buy from a US dealer? Or direct?

Here's the link on Pedders site https://secure.merlinsoftware.com.au/peddersusa/default.aspx?Mode=PL&Level1=CHEVROLET&Level2=HHR The part numbers are 220006 for the front and 220007 for the rear. I picked them up from http://www.ottperformance.com/

Thanks for the direct link. Funny... if you go to the Pedders home page and try to look it up via their online catalog, they show nothing. I didn't think to bypass the catalog and look in their online store. Sounds like a programmer needs to be flogged :eek:

I'll have to look for other outlets to purchase. I've tried HARD to spend money with OTTP, but the guy just didn't want it. I had a couple of questions, but multiple emails and phone calls were never returned. I even checked my money to make sure it was real US currency... and it was! Oh well.

I thought Pedders only made that $1400 coil-over kit for the HHR, so this is a nice surprise. :cool:

Do you have any pics with the new springs? How much of a drop was it over the stock SS springs? Was there any compromise in handling? Sorry for the grilling, but I would definitely be interested in these...

No pics yet the weather has not been good I plan on getting some this week end. They were definitely a improvement over stock along with a modest drop. Measurements were taken from the bottom lip of the wheel to the bottom lip of the fender well BEFORE LH Frt 24 7/8" RH Frt 25 1/8" LH Rear 25 1/2" RH Rear 25 9/16" AFTER pedders installed LH Frt 23 5/8" RH Frt 23 13/16" LH Rear 24 5/8" RH Rear 24 9/16"

Sweet! Definitely post some pictures when you get a chance, this sounds like a pretty good option.

Here are the pics with the Pedders Springs :smile:

Wow, looks nice! I think the drop is more noticeable in the close-ups than the full shots, but if there's an improvement in handling too, then I'm in. :cool:

So... what about using Cobalt SS springs? Are the springs the same between HHR and Cobalt?

Springs will work between the two vehicles. I went with Pedders as I heard they worked well on the Cobalt SS and they improved the handling with no coil bind issues and a modest drop. I didn't want any issues on my HHR SS and also didn't want to loose any handling or performance so Pedders fit what I was looking for and improved the handling.

He already started with SS springs... so no improvement in "class" of spring using Cobalt SS.

I mean between a HHR LT and a Cobalt SS. Can the Cobalt SS springs handle the extra weight of the HHR?

After a little work I found a set of 09 Cobalt SS Sedan springs from a local friend for $75. We'll see how they work out.

If you can, post the part number. If they are different than the coupe springs, the rears might be a little beefier and hold up better on the HHR.
The SS sedan is in lower supply, so the springs might be harder to find.

That was kinda my thinking. The SS Sedan only weighs 150lbs less than the HHR... it was as close as I could get to actual HHR SS springs. I don't know if the numbers are different or not, I will post it up this weekend when I have them in my hands.

On My 09 SS is it better to just level the rear with Cobalt SS springs or replace front & rear springs
