Looking to find out if anyone has been able to put a lift kit on their HHR. I have a 2006 and I need to raise the front end 4 inches but can't find struts to give me this lift. Anyone with ideas?

Welcome to the site, nope can't say I've ever see a lifted HHR or a lift kit for one, with the centre of gravity up 4 " that's gonna cause some serious cornering issue.

Welcome to the forums Dave! Try lift kit in the search window at the top of every page.

Oh it's been done, but how it was done seems more than just a kit!

800 lbs of chrome!

Only thing I can think of is find someone that has a shock absorber application book and match up specs. Or get out the welder.

I guess the easiest would to make some blocks between the top of the strut mount and the strut tower.
