i would spend that much . if i only had the time to do it. my hhr is on the road 6 days a week. it would probably cost twice that without the deals??? plus your time. i really like it. could i do 1 wheel at a time? what i really like about it is that you can adjust it. i wouldn't want it to be that low all the time. i couldn't get out the driveway.

well if you run a nitrogen tank its way cheaper. you can do the back in about half a day. and the front will take about a day.all the wiring and plumbing can be done before you mess with anything. you will need to be able to weld or you will need spend a little more. here are some more pics this is how low it is now in the back.

i was going to say that i would think a compressor would be less $ in the long run and take up less space. but even with a compressor , you would still need a tank also. right??? can't you just fill that tank , or any tank with air and use for this.??? if so , you would need a nice/good water seperator. i don't think anyone sells this as a kit for the hhr. maybe you have one of a kind.

compressors get too much use and burn up. in texas with the humidity 10 water traps wouldn't be enough. electric valves dont like water that much. a decent comp. is about $200 and a tank is about $50. nitrogen bottle is $80 (good deal) and each fill is $10. i fill mine about once a month, but its not a daily driver. in a hatch back compressors would be annoying. i had compressors on my ranger with a bed cover and they were still loud in the cab.you can ge a "pancake" tank to fit in the spare tire hole but then where do you put the spare?

08 hhr is supposed to have came with a compressor. i haven't even checked to see if i have spare yet. i think you're right about the tank being the best route. i wonder if some of those small oxy/acet tanks would be sufficient and fit in the spare space in the spare space without removing the spare??? i have some , i think last time was about $20 each for exchange for oxy/acet. i know that thet are not cost effective for cutting , but i still like them.
