The Gold-Line's will drop you 1.8" in front, and 2.125" in the back.
MUCH better riding than the Eibachs and I don't just say that because I sell them. We can sell any springs we want, and Gold-Line's are the best riding on the HHR so far.

After you drop your HHR onto Gold-Lines, you will have 5-1/2" of clearance from the bottom of the running boards to the ground. You should always drive a lowered care with special care, but that's plenty of room for the largest of speed bumps.

Hope it helps,

It seems like just about everyone who lowered their HHR has used Goldlines. Like Adam pointed out use the search and you can find pics of a few HHRs lowered with Goldlines.

Interesting, IMO the Daytons need to be gold.

I have the gold line also..
But have other issues..
It seems my vehicle is bottoming out, on minor road areas.

I have 18 inch wheels/tires on it..

So this is what I did.. I took off one of the rear wheels,
took off the rear shock... I found , when its full depressed ( measured
from bolt hole center line to bolt hole center line it measures 11 inches.

When I put the shock & wheel back on, I measure from Bolt to bolt center line... and I get approx. 1 to 1 1/4 inches or 12 to 12 1/4 inches measurement. So it tells me I really have only 1 to 1 1/4 inch of actual area for the shock can absorb any deviations in road , plus If I add weight to the back , I'm really loosing more shock absorbation area...

Has anyone else experience this ????
