you think your wheels will tuck?

HHR 'Black Death'

garage, nicely done. It really looks better sittin low! I would love to do the SS, but I dont want to give up the performance. I think I need another HHR to drop!!

i pulled the rear springs a couple days ago and lowered it slowly. i need to cut a lil out of the rear inner fender, then it will tuck.

i had to roll the rear fenders in about 1/2" on each side. take some tin snips and make a cut every inch then tape up the outside of the fender so you don't scratch it. hold a block of wood on the outside and beat where you cut with a hammer. also did you notice how far forward the wheel ends up. thats the curse of a 2link. i had to add an inch to mine.

here are some pics of the hangers. this is how i made the 2link longer.

Nice job might have to chop up the SS for this.

hey black death why would you think you would loose performance. air suspension will handle better that any spring set up if done right. plus lowering the center of gravity makes anything handle better. you may be right though cause the drive shafts get tweaked pretty bad when its layed out so the extra Hp and a heavy foot may cause trouble. it shakes a little when riding low but you also cant turn so i dont ride like that.... except when i want to make some sparks. other than that i baby the accelerator

is it bouncy??? it is ok if not so good. it is still cool enough.

garagebuilt

not bouncy at all. i used small enough bags that it needs about 100psi in the front and about 70psi in the back. that high of psi in a bag doesnt "bounce" much at all. its hard to compare to a spring suspension cause it reacts completely different. i would compare the ride to my work truck (f250 V-10) over bumps. its cool cause you can pull the wheel real hard and it has almost no body roll. you can carry alot more speed through a corner. And this is all with the sway bay in the front DISCONNECTED. i think today im finally gonna hook it back up cant wait to see how it handles.
