If you are looking for a cheap, simple solusion to lowering. You could buy a pair of Spring Tech lowing spring. They lower front and rear the same amount. After you put all your gear in you would still have clearance. They're about the same price if not cheaper than other spings.

I installed Spring Techs in my HHR. I've had over 600lbs of stuff in it. It never bottomed out and road level. The spring tech will give it a slight rack, (not as bad as some of the photos posted here) basically maintains the stock rake only lower. I have over 8,000 miles on mine and I've never bottomed, rubbed or had any suspension problems.

The one thing I can't figure out is why none of the lowering springs come with specs. When I order springs for my race car I know the Spring Rate, Installed height, Installed Pressure, Harmonic Frequency all this on a $30 spring. Double the money and you get half the quality and all they can tell you how much it SHOULD lower your car.

 

sorry for off topic post but is that hhr in your add a photoshop or not?

 

I wondered the same thing myself.

 

im sure if it was real we would have seen pics of it by now



























but i could be wrong and if i am that b1tch is bad

 

Chi, I'm with CJUTTEN I have the springtech springs. Sounds like a great option for you and your system issues.

 

Thanks for the input guys! I may try those springs. I need to get the rest of everything installed and then I'll make a decision. I found someone here that will do helper shocks for next to nothing since he is a friend of a friend of a friend (or something like that).
