Thanks XXL. that gives me alittle to go by when shopping. Since no one has any products that are specifically for an SS (that I have seen) it will make the comparison easier knowing that the SS has been lowered. Would you say about an 1" to an 1.5" ?

I may have to suck it up and get a coil over to get it any lower. First is the programmer anyways.

Thanks for all the ideas and info from everyone!!

 

According to the specs on Eibach's site, the HHR will get dropped 1" up front and 1.6" in the rear with their kit #3899.140. Not sure if there's ANY drop on the SS.

 

Here are the actual measurements from today...

Panel, Thanks for the measurments. I have not one to compare with here. What did you use to lower yours?

 

Mine is on coilovers. As soon as I find some different shocks I'm lowering it more.

I just went to a dealer to get the measurements. I don't think anyone saw me lol. Not as much of a drop as I thought. About 3/4 in the rear and 1/4 in the front according to my precise measurements. The SS could definitely be lower.

 

I think something is off on those measurements. I just went outside to measure my LS and im getting 27.25 and 28.25, just about what the SS is measuring in the above pics, 3/4 tank of gas.

 

They were all done in a dealer parking lot on level ground with the tape at the center of the wheel. It's brand new, so it could settle a bit, but not that much. It did look abnormally high though...
