We just had our HHR lowered by Erich and the crew at Darkside Motoring on Tuesday, here is a quick gallery of some pics:

SoCal HHR's Lowered Pics

I didn't want to clog up the site gallery with more pics of my car, so I just hosted them on our site.
These were some "quick" shots...I'll get some better quality pics later.

It looks good! Have you had any clearance issues yet?

 

Looks good but I don't think you're gonna get much bigger or wider wheel/tire combo under there.

 

No clearance issues whatsoever - plenty of room for bigger tires too.

 

Looks great, I want to also drop mine. Was that the springs that Erich at Darkside, had offer here for $189 for the set. I believe the estimate was 1.6 drop up front and 1.8 drop back. He thought those springs were a good setup for the HHR, over the Ebach, I guess. Let us know how it rides, it definitely looks better.

I helped my father lower a 48 Chevy Sedan, pretty big car, it amazing how much lowering a car, makes a car look smaller, sporty, and more eggressive (Hot Rod, Street Rod, Drag Car look)!!

 

It looks great. But Its not practial for me due to pot holes while driving around the 5 boro's. One time watching MTV Pimp my ride. I seen these springs for the civic that were complelty adjustable where the driver can adjust anytime from stock mode to lowered mode. I do not recall the manuf.

 

I think your thinking of coil over shocks.

 

Can you get some detailed pics of the clearances? The eibachs I think are 1 inch in the front and 1.5 in the back. I like the look of yours, but I want to make sure the set-up I want will work.

 

The Goldlines actually measure out around 2-inches in front & 2.5 in back.
I'll try to get actual clearance pics tomorrow. Here's a before/after pic:

 

I think you're talking about an air ride system. Coil-overs aren't adjustable while you drive.
