Ever since I installed SS suspension on my LT, I've been paying attention to all othe HHR ride heights that pass, and they all seem to differ to my eye; alot look way lower than mine! If you know the height of your hhr from ground to fender lip at center cap, please share as I'm curious. Include suspension and tire info please!

 

Ok, mine is at 25.5 front and 26 rear, with KWv2 coilovers. And 26.5 front 26.75 rear with YYZv1 and fe3 struts.

 

Pedders: 26" in front. 26.5" in rear.

Just remember that others are also using many different rim/tire combos.
16's, 17's 18's. They can exaggerate the "look" of the ride height.

 

Stock ride height on my 2007 1LT (FE1), rocking factory steelies with 215/55/16 Firestone Affinity Touring S4's. Zero suspension mods...yet.

Front: 26.5"


Rear: 28.25"


All together now...



I have a set of FE5 struts & shocks waiting to go on, just gotta decide on lowering springs. I'll update with new measurements/pics when I do.

 

I think it's crazy how I'm sitting at 27.5 in the front with Kyb struts and ss springs!

 

Well Chad. Stock height on my SS was 27.5" in front. Yours sounds like it is where it should be with stock SS springs.
If you wanted lower, you should have gone with different springs.

 

Well before purchasing the springs, I gathered off the forums that the ss springs were .5 in shorter than the lt models. Which was fine with me, but appearantly my source was not reliable. Live and learn. Thanks though for the confirmation that mine sits correctly for an ss!

 

what size tires are you on also?

 

The front of mine measures 27 1/4" and the rear, with Cobalt TC springs, measures 27 1/2" and I'm running 215/50/17 tires.

im wondering the same now...i have a set of ss springs, but my LS is on 16" rims still...wonder what mine will sit at if it will be lower or not considering the ss sits on 18s
