Came across this on eBay tonight: Koni Shocks/Struts for 05-07 Cobalts (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330102097114)

This kit includes 2 front struts, and 2 rear shocks.

These should fit the HHR without problem, as they are running on the same platform. Now...who is going to be the first? :lol:

Enjoy! :thumb:

I wonder if you have to cut the front struts, like you need to on most koni applications.

Socal.. you should read the site closely..
I've post already about these...
You have to cut you stock strut, insert the new one..
not worth the $$$$ for manufacturing your own strut.... :barf:

yea I would not get it.

yea I would not get it.

I wouldn't either if I'm getting a Civic.:roll: :p:

Or do you know something that we don't that makes Chevy parts interchangeable with Honda?:lol:

Overpriced. Not worth it IMO.

Koni is in my opinion the BEST after market strut manufacture period. I just hate dealing will cutting up stock struts. From 7-15 way adjustable. They kick ass.

Currently Koni is the ONLY aftermarket shock manufacturer producing an application that fits the HHR. If you blew a strut tomorrow, it's either order a factory strut (*right now they come from the assembly line in Mexico), or do the Koni mod.

The choice is yours...:thumb:

If I blow a strut right now, it's a free replacement.....:lol:

Free replacement...agreed !!!

Because, I believe KONI builds a respectable product, I researched this when someone else (maybe HVROD) posted it a while bad. Even talked with a KONI rep. Cutting the towers for their install, is FRANKLY and IMO, not a good idea. You are NOW "locked into" the KONI product. What if they do not perform to your expectations.....weld back a piece of metal??? $$$$$ out the window.

But thanks Mike, for bringing it up again. It is worthy of discussion.

Yeah, I would be leary of permanently modding my towers. We are still early in the HHRs run.
How many after market struts are available for PTs after all these years.?
Whatever that number is may be a good indicator of what will happen to HHR support.

IF the HHR ever sells in the numbers the PT has. In 2005 the PT sold 130,000+, that's about how manyy HHR's TOTAL have been made.

GM sells replacement shocks.. bammm

:smile: Yeah, I already had to replace the left rear shock at less than 9000 mi. It was under Warranty, so no biggie! Dealer didn't have one in stock though :roll: Took a few days to get it!

Do you have your vehicle lowered ?

I replaced my rear shocks with monroe coil overs...
took out the stock bushings, install the stock bushing into the new shocks..
