Does anyone know if Bilstein or other perfromance brands are making replacement shocks for the HHR yet?

 

There are no replacement struts for the front of the HHR, or direct fit rear shocks available at this time. We have been working with Monroe, Gabriel, and KYB for several months trying to bring some options to market - but it is a very slow process.

 

Thanks Mike for the reply. I figure that's what the story was. As winter keeps it's grip on us here on the East Coast I've been looking to start some mods on the HHR. I've been to your site a number of times making a list of things I'd like and figuring where to start.

 

Something will happen in the next month or two. so..... I;ve heard...

Pretend I don't know what all that means, which I don't , could you explain why that's bad news?? I know nothing about this subject, so any info is good! Thanks.

 

If you read the PDF file, it shows you have to cut/drill your stock strut to insert the cartrigde. Usually a strut comes already assemble, all one does is to install it...

 

I tried reading it but having done NO work like this really didn't know what was what. thanks for clearing it up a little for me.
