raising the rear.

Hey all you HHR owners, I have heard and seen them lowered, and leveled. How about raising just the rear end, anybody done this? If so how and are there any threads you can direct me to.

A stock HHR has a slight rake. I cant imagine anyone wanting to "Dago" the car. I have wondered what a lifted HHR would look like with off road tires. Not monster truck lifted but just enough to get some bigger tires and not jack up the FWD axle angles. Our wheel well openings dont allow for much bigger tires.

Someone photoshop one lifted!

Personally I feel the rear-end is high enough and leveling at least is the way to go.
I think Tim did a photochopped one someplace on here...

Just my opinion...

maybe if you added air bags , it would work. also you could adjust to where you like it.

It's funny how times change. In the 70s it was cool to raise the back of the car and drop the front. Now, it's lower it. I can see how someone might like it - to each his own! :)
