I thought Pedders only made that $1400 coil-over kit for the HHR, so this is a nice surprise.

Do you have any pics with the new springs? How much of a drop was it over the stock SS springs? Was there any compromise in handling? Sorry for the grilling, but I would definitely be interested in these...

No pics yet the weather has not been good I plan on getting some this week end. They were definitely a improvement over stock along with a modest drop. Measurements were taken from the bottom lip of the wheel to the bottom lip of the fender well BEFORE LH Frt 24 7/8" RH Frt 25 1/8" LH Rear 25 1/2" RH Rear 25 9/16" AFTER pedders installed LH Frt 23 5/8" RH Frt 23 13/16" LH Rear 24 5/8" RH Rear 24 9/16"

Sweet! Definitely post some pictures when you get a chance, this sounds like a pretty good option.

Wow, looks nice! I think the drop is more noticeable in the close-ups than the full shots, but if there's an improvement in handling too, then I'm in.

So... what about using Cobalt SS springs? Are the springs the same between HHR and Cobalt?

Springs will work between the two vehicles. I went with Pedders as I heard they worked well on the Cobalt SS and they improved the handling with no coil bind issues and a modest drop. I didn't want any issues on my HHR SS and also didn't want to loose any handling or performance so Pedders fit what I was looking for and improved the handling.

He already started with SS springs... so no improvement in "class" of spring using Cobalt SS.

I mean between a HHR LT and a Cobalt SS. Can the Cobalt SS springs handle the extra weight of the HHR?
