Very nice still, I love the ride stock but I have to be lower...great to be here, I have a lowered S2000 so I needed some hauling room with some sportiness.. So what springs were you running before you switched back.. I assumed pedders but it looked lower..sportlines maybe? I'm ready to pull the trigger.. Thanks again for your help..

 

He tried the Pedders springs but didn't like how they rode. I have a few before + after pictures of my Pedders install in my gallery and did a write up somewhere in here.

Alex is right they were pedders, I could not do what I do lower, yesterday I scraped the nose backing into a goofy parking spot and later parked in a spot that my car was balanced on two tires, I could tip it back and forth with one finger, the stock springs did all that with the 255's stuffed in there.

hard to see but the rear tire is 1" off the ground.

 

 

Have you gotten it back as of yet??

 

So the one in your shop, did it have the red or black eibachs? It looks like the sportlines may drop the same as pedders..

 

I'm wanting to go lower in the rear so I can match the front as well. No love for my intercooler!

 

Remember that pedders purposely had the rear slightly higher for chassis balance..they found this to be the best stance....so lowering it will change the balance front to rear....but then again if its show and go,only...do what ya will..

 

Did you ever get those numbers bud?

 

Alright boys after months of research and flip-flopping I pulled the trigger and with hesitation bought the Eibach Sportline Springs for my 08 SS. Much to my surprise the ride seems better than stock and the drop is exactly what I was looking for.. These were developed for the conalt SS but are perfect for the HHR SS and the ride is incredible, i even had somone with me on the test drive and he agreed..
