I asked that same question, and they said up to 4'' below stock. Not sure if you can actually drive it like that.

If I understand coilovers right though, ride height adjustment is a side effect. What you're actually adjusting is preload. So, more preload = stiffer and increased ride height, less preload = softer, less ride height.

Hmmmm I may have found a solution to my height problem ...
Once I get established out in Phoenix this january, I may find a shop that can help me figure out what I need to do to get it as low as possible while still being drivable (prolly no less than 2.5 or 3 inches of clearance) Then contact eibach and have a custom set of springs made. As long as they are no more than the coilovers, I dont really have a problem with dishing out the $$ My ultimate goal is to have the lowest static tucking HHR around Incase anyone hasnt picked up on it yet.... I Love Low lol! "I LuvLow" Will prolly be my next set of personal plates. http://eibach.com/cgi-bin/htmlos.exe...08792300017118

Im doing it for myself (because I personally think that the HHR would look great slammed with some smoothies or a nice set of classic wheels). I could give 2 craps about what anyone else thinks about it, if you think its a stupid idea then more power to you. Thats the problem with forums, people post arrogant remarks to people who they have never met, for no reason at all. I started this thread for insight on how to get as low as possible, not go get handclaps and cookies....I love how people always have somthing to say about how stupid of an idea someone has, esp. when it is a matter of personal preference. But if you guys feel the look like Hard @**es and E-thug all over someone who you are assuming is a noob and who is just looking for other peoples approval then more power to you...my hat goes of to you and your powerful typing fingers
