18" Wheels/Eibach Springs, '07 @LT Premier Edition
New here, thought I would share my new wheel/tire combo.
I've installed Eibach lowering springs, new Koni Excel-G struts and shocks, and upgraded the entire front suspension with Moog Problem Solver parts: tie-rod end-links, inner and outer tie-rod ends, along with Moog's heavy duty lower control arms. I also installed Prothane 25mm poly sway bar bushings, a new TTR rear sway bar, and 18"x8.5" Monte Titano MT21 drop-forged wheels with Lexani 235/40R18 rubber. Ride is on the firm side with this combo, but still acceptable by my standards. My 83K HHR 2LT one-owner, as bought: https://www.chevyhhr.net/gallery/fil...5745727caf.jpg https://www.chevyhhr.net/gallery/fil...806_175437.jpg https://www.chevyhhr.net/gallery/fil...806_175424.jpg https://www.chevyhhr.net/gallery/fil...806_175346.jpg https://www.chevyhhr.net/gallery/fil...806_175327.jpg https://www.chevyhhr.net/gallery/fil...6_175318_1.jpg Pics with new Eibach lowering springs with new wheels/tires, body de-badged and factory pinstripe removed. Springs have since settled a bit since these pictures were taken: https://www.chevyhhr.net/gallery/fil...124_122410.jpg https://www.chevyhhr.net/gallery/fil...124_122215.jpg https://www.chevyhhr.net/gallery/fil...124_122248.jpg https://www.chevyhhr.net/gallery/fil...124_122301.jpg https://www.chevyhhr.net/gallery/fil...124_122311.jpg https://www.chevyhhr.net/gallery/fil...124_122338.jpg https://www.chevyhhr.net/gallery/fil...124_122427.jpg Next up for looks... darker tint for the front windows and continuing with a tasteful yet subtle black-out treatment, including a new grill, Depot headlights, black door handles, tinted marker lights, LED tail lights. Etc... I'm very pleased with my HHR as a daily driver, I am very glad a bought one. I like it a lot! It fits my lifestyle and needs perfectly. |
Nice ride!! Very cool!

Your welcome, say did you buy your ride from a member here? There was one just like it in the classifieds awhile ago, and those are hens teeth that model and colour!

Priceless. Again, thank you. Love those rims and a very tasteful lowering - with the debadging it's an excellent combination! LOVE the white as well - is that a pearlescent white? Very nice indeed. |

What's there measurements from the asphalt to the wheel arch, like this shot of Oldblue 's right rear down on Canuck Motorsport springs
|
New Eibachs (with about 2,000 miles on them) have my HHR sitting at 26 7/8" rear, 26 3/4" front.
This wasn't a member's car that I am aware... it was a one-owner trade-in that I found at a local Chevrolet dealership. |
Nice!
