Here's a quote from another thread that is HERE (http://chevyhhr.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2878)...post #11. :thumb:
If you are looking for a cheap, simple solusion to lowering. You could buy a pair of Spring Tech lowing spring. They lower front and rear the same amount. After you put all your gear in you would still have clearance. They're about the same price if not cheaper than other spings.
I installed Spring Techs in my HHR. I've had over 600lbs of stuff in it. It never bottomed out and road level. The spring tech will give it a slight rack, (not as bad as some of the photos posted here) basically maintains the stock rake only lower. I have over 8,000 miles on mine and I've never bottomed, rubbed or had any suspension problems.
The one thing I can't figure out is why none of the lowering springs come with specs. When I order springs for my race car I know the Spring Rate, Installed height, Installed Pressure, Harmonic Frequency all this on a $30 spring. Double the money and you get half the quality and all they can tell you how much it SHOULD lower your car. :clappy: :rof:

I too have heard of them... but haven't EVER run across anyone that's had them!! Just remember- you get what you pay for... and that might end up being a saggy rear on your HHR.:confused:

I have the SpringTech springs. I put them on about 7-8 months ago. No problems. The SpringTech name is part of the BellTech company famed for its full size and mini truck suspension lowering parts.:thumb:
