Lowering the cars tomorrow!

Im about ready to attempt a new world record... LOL maybe not, but i am going to put down the WII and get both cars dropped tomorrow. We received both sets of springs 2 Wednesdays ago but had company from outa state last weekend so its finally time. Look for pics in mine and Sadens07's galleries. i am going to attempt to get them both done tomorrow and throw a little toe and go to make them drivable till i can get em aligned on Monday. WISH ME LUCK, LOL

The ride is great... I am pretty sure i got the gen 3's P#1262 so i have the weird gold line rear spring rattle but its not loud at all. the only time i can hear it is on a bumpy road with the radio and the ac off. I have lowered my fair share of cars and trucks in my day so i checked the alignment "redneck style" with a tape measure and the alignment isn't off that bad. I am very satisfied with my decision and would do it again. I love the look, the ride, the better handling.

P.S. Its about time I've seen another local HHR owner on here. and for all those northerners, it wasnt the cold but the 30 to 40 mph winds that made Saturday that much colder... LOL!

Pete, I have a question for you about the noise, is it on the right side?
That is the side of the leveling springs noise.
Thanks in advance.
Karen
