Looks like I missed most of the party.

Purchased a 2011 LT Thursday and appreciate the info found here so far. Still getting familiar with it but so far so good.

Welcome to the site! Enjoy that new to you HHR!
Tell us more about it, like is it a 1 or 2 LT, FE 1 or 3 suspension?
Colour? Leather? Wheels? We just gotta know!

Oh! And we like pictures!

This would be a 1LT with Imperial Blue Metallic. Given the 1LT and 2.2Eco I assume this to be the FE1 suspension.

Its 129K miles but doesn't really look like it. You can tell which images were taken by the dealer though. lol.

Oldblue

IBM hhmm, I love that colour!!
Yeah , the 1LT's didn't get the FE3 package, I was just wondering seeing as it's an end of the build 2011, check the glove box door , you might have got the better suspension!

Welcome!

Don't agonize over FE1/FE3 they really are not that much different and replacement parts are all the same, usually FE3. The parts are interchangeable.

FE5 is different, but not interchangeable.

Oldblue

I was more interested to see what GM gave out at the end of the run!
OEM parts are scarce, aftermarket struts and shocks are FE3 equivalent and even quick struts the springs are FE3.

FE1, confirmed by sticker in glovebox

donbrew

FE1 is "soft ride" or "comfort ride" FE3 is "sport", but I'll be darned if I could ever tell the difference.

Oldblue

I got my answer, GM wasn't generous and gave out the FE3 setup! I didn't like the FE 1 so I went with KYB's and Canucks!
