Best way to level my HHR SS?
 
Not so sure I want to lower the front down. Waiting for my TTR rear sway bar in any day now. What can I do to lower the rear a bit without having the front to rear rates imbalanced from current rates.

I almost would lower the whole thing with some pedders but a little spendy and really like the stock ride of my SS and am a little reserved on stiffining it up too much. Maybe I am getting old>>>

Edit: since kev 5150 deleted his post,...

goldlines are too soft for a good match for FE5 suspension..

If OP wants to just level, Cobalt SS/TC rear springs..

The SS/TC springs may only drop an SS 1/4 to 1/2 inch though..... Not sure that would level it. Some people may not even notice the difference. But! Yeah... it would handle better than the goldlines I think.


The Ground Force I have might do it though.... Handle great and can still load it if I want, it's a progressively wound spring. I think the drop is a touch more than the SS/TC Cobalt's :skull:

Pedders has established that a slight rake is better for handling..which is why their springs wont level the SS....just a note

I put the pedders on it looked great. I didn't like the handling took them off,the stock set-up works great. I put some 760's on it and I'm getting used to the look

Have to ask...what didnt you like about them....constructively

They were too low for me not enough travel left. The performance division got them right, I can leap tall buildings in a single bound with confidence.:thumb:

if you want to level it, i have a cheap and easy way to do it, 1 throw some cinder blocks in the back or have one of your heavier set friends sit in the back until you decide to get rid of the car
