before i swap out the front and rear springs
have a set from a ss hhr
is it true that the ss sits lower i was told it sits about 1.5 '' lower do to springs
so true ? or false ?
thanks
ps have the ss rims / tires on now

 

SS rims/tires are taller than 16 inch stock HHR rim/tires so, your car's body should be sitting higher than stock height.
Putting on the SS springs may bring it back to normal body height. Don't think it's as much as a 1.5 inch difference though.

Note. I've read several threads over the years about SS springs being installed. Some say it drops. Others say no. Not sure which is correct.

 

I’ve parked in my driveway next to Skyline26’s HHR , his is on FE5 SS springs and it sits higher then Oldblue on Canuck Motorsports springs .
So yes they lower the car but not by as much as aftermarket lowering springs.

 

old blue
were did you get your springs & cost
and how much lower is it ?
thanks

thanks old blue for info

the ones on ebay say 1 - 1 1/ 4

 

I didn’t order from EBay, contact them , ask for Ray, he’s a great guy.

i was just making a statement about the ebay ones

do you change shocks ?
thanks

 

I did change to KYB shocks and struts, but the OEM were leaking.
